I'm turning 39 in just a few days, so the shadow of my forties is starting to creep ever closer to my worn running shoes and the aging feet that they contain.
Bryan Borzykowski at Forbes recently published a good short article about Meb Keflezighi and how he approaches his training at age 41. It's an article that can imbue you with a sense of youth if you are anything like me: a person who can't help but wonder how immediately the PRs will stop coming (if they haven't already). Meb is still doing this running thing at an incredibly high level in his early 40's, which is reassuring.
At the same time, this article will likely make the vast majority of you feel old, because Meb apparently ran a 5:20 mile when he was in the seventh grade.
So there's also that little fact to consider.
