Your watch says your VO₂ max has dropped. Does that actually mean you’re getting less fit?In this episode, Shona and Devlin unpack what VO₂ max really tells runners over 50, why the number on your watch can be misleading, what actually causes it to decline with age, and the training that can improve your running even when your VO₂ max barely moves.
In this Faster Beyond 50 Run Roast, Lindsey Parry and Devlin Eyden uncover the clues hiding in one runner's pace and heart-rate data - and the temptation that can turn an easy run into the wrong session at the wrong time.Why can "feeling good" catch you out? When does finishing strong become a mistake? And what would the coaches change before race day?

In this episode, Lindsey and Shona break down what really causes the marathon wall, why your training can set you up to fail late in the race, and how to build the durability to keep going when everyone else starts slowing down.
You rested. You did the rehab. You started running again… and the same injury came back.So what are you missing?Lindsey and Dr Kelly unpack why recurring running injuries happen, why rest alone often isn’t enough, and the crucial steps many runners skip before returning to full training.
