Running for older woman

Getting older doesn’t mean you can’t keep fit. United Running helps you to keep in shape. We cater to everyone with our personalized training programs.
According to a recent article in the New York Times by Gina Kolata older women (40+) are generally more focused in their training, out-running the younger competition.

“Men, as might be expected, get slower as they age. At a recent five-kilometer race in Pine Beach, N.J....the fastest man was 24 years old and the men’s times increased with each five-year age group.

But the women were different — their times were all over the place with older women beating younger women in almost every age category. The fastest woman was 37 years old; the fastest woman in the 45 to 49 age group beat the fastest woman in the 20 to 24 and the 40 to 44 age groups.”

Sounds good? That’s what we thought. Sign up!
