Running Midlife · Toolkit for Women 45+

Train by your body, not by someone else's numbers

Four calculators built for a midlife runner — each one tuned to how a changing body actually works.

Enter a recent race result and I'll give you the training paces that actually build fitness — most of them slower than you'd guess. That's the point.

General educational tools for healthy runners — not medical, dietary, or training prescriptions. Talk to your doctor about your own numbers, especially with any health condition. Estimates are guides, not guarantees.
