🥇At 61 years old, Dan King broke the world record for the one-mile run in his age group, running it in less than 4 minutes and 50 seconds.
🏃♂️Dan attributes his success to a unique training approach that includes cross-training and strength training to build a superior cardiovascular system.
🏔️Uphill running is a key component of Dan's training, as it strengthens the calves and helps adapt stiffer tendons and stronger bones.
💪Heavy progressive strength training is essential for running faster as we age, as it combats muscle loss and promotes stronger bones.
💤Proper recovery, including quality sleep and healthy eating, is crucial in maximizing performance and allowing the body to adapt and recover.
