Q: Am I too old to improve on my PRs? A:

I'm 35 and I started running about a year ago. I have completed several 10K races and ran my first half-marathon this past December. As part of my New Year’s goals I decided to try to improve my times. I met with my coach and we changed my schedule from weight training with 4-5 days running a week often on the treadmill to 5-6 days on the road with 3 days of weight training. After 10 weeks of hard training, I ended up with knee, ankle and back pain. Now I’m taking 3 weeks off for therapy. Maybe this was too much too soon? I’ve read that after a certain age you can't improve your performance. Should I just resign my PR goals? Thank you so much! Candy Candy- Resign your PR goals? No! Are you too old? Certainly not!
