HeyReader, Welcome to Week 5 Runners! What you can expect in week 5 (if you're using the None to Run plan):Week 5 will move to a 1-minute recovery walk between runs. This means you will get 10 runs within your total run time. Focus on keeping your speed slow and steady as you ramp up to more time running.

I do ok with the glute bridge part, but struggle adding in the march part. (Not a question, I know. Haha!) Is there an exercise to build up my strength to get better at supporting myself on one leg during the march? COACH MARK: The glute bridge with march is a challenging exercise! Developing glute strength is crucial for runners. So, just focus on getting more comfortable with a glute bridge with both feet on the ground. As you become stronger, experiment with lifting one foot off the ground for 2-3 seconds. Then switch and lift the foot off the ground for 2-3 seconds. Again, as you become stronger, gradually increase the reps. Keep at it! THIS WEEK'S GIVEAWAYThis week, we're giving away one of our new None to Run performance running shirts!

Hey Reader, Tips, inspiration, more on our research study....lots to talk about this week! Let's dive in. I Started Running at 82. I'd Never Run Before. Marian Leicester started running at 82!

Hey Reader, I want to share something I hear a lot from people who find None to Run: "I thought I was too old to start." And I get it. There's a lot of messaging out there that makes running feel like something you should have started in your 20s — or that it gets harder and harder the older you get. But here's what I actually believe: starting to run in your 50s might be the smartest athletic decision you've ever made. Not in spite of your age. Because of it. You know yourself better than...
