#10 Running for Joy — Creativity, Movement, and Aging Well

---

Season 1 Episode 10

---

**Want to hear about an athlete who combines running with artistic expression? **

This week on Ageless Athlete, we meet Frank Chan, a 51-year-old engineer who started running marathons just a few years ago, at the age of 45!  Despite his late start, Frank has already conquered over 13 marathons and is dangerously close to the 3 hour mark! 

But Frank's approach to training is refreshingly unconventional.  Tune in to discover:

• The benefits of starting running later in life and the joys of being a beginner
• Progress in the 5th decade of life
• Why under-training might actually be beneficial (and how to do it safely!).
• How to stay fueled efficiently (hint: don't skip those snacks!).
• And the coolest part: how Frank creates incredible "Run Art" using his running routes! ️

**Join us as we delve into Frank's unique journey and explore the intersection of intellectual rigor, planning, and spontaneity in his pursuit of performance and beauty**
