Fast After 50 is for every endurance athlete who wants to stay fast for years to come.
For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, and cross-country skiers, getting older doesn't have mean getting slower. Drawing from the most current research on aging and sports performance, Joe Friel--America's leading endurance sports coach--shows how athletes can race strong and stay healthy well past age 50.

- How to shed body fat and regain muscle density
- How to create a progressive plan for training, rest, recovery, and competition

In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number--and race results are the only numbers that count.
