What do you
call us moms
who make
exercise a
priority in
our lives

else we have
to do? We're

What do we
call
ourselves?

RUN FOR
LIFE - NEW BOOK
Run for Life lays
out a life plan for post-35
runners that can reduce
injuries, increase strength
and speed on less workout
time, and extend your
running career by decades.
Traveling the running world
from Kenya to Tahiti and
Boston to Badwater in search
of running longevity, author
Roy M. Wallack, a Los
Angeles Times fitness
columnist, tests new running
methods, products, and
fitness regimens, and talks
to the world’s top coaches,
athletes, and researchers.
His science-backed,
time-efficient strategy,
summarized as Run Soft · Run
Less · Run Stronger · Run
Flexible · Run Straighter ·
Run Faster, delivers a
one-two punch that delays
and even reverses the two
factors that cripple all
runners: the natural muscle
and VO2 Max decline that
starts in the mid-30s, and
the specific joint
deterioration caused by
running. Run for Life brims
with ground-breaking
innovations, including:
·Soft
Running: A 5-step
bio-mechanical overhaul that
reduces knee-shock by 50%.
· A Call
to Arms: A cheap, simple
handgrip that automatically
perfects your form.
·HGH
Strength Training:
High-intensity exercises
that build speed, power,
balance, and quick-reaction
time by jacking up release
of human growth hormone.
·The
Ultra Interval: Crazy-hard
20- and 30-second all-out
sprints that leave you
gasping—and cue rapid
strength increases that
essentially make you
younger.
·
High-tech Water Running:
Pool tools making champions
faster and safer on land.
·Barefoot
Running: How going shoeless
strengthens feet, cuts
shock, adds years.
·Yoga on
the Run: A just-for-runners
warm-up
·Bionic
Hips & Knees: Radical new
surgeries restoring
broken-down marathoners to
their 30-year-old selves
·Anti-Back-Pain Posture
Poses: How "standing like a
kindergartener" speeds you
up
·Runaway
Weight Loss: How slight
changes in diet & workout
timing melt fat
