How many of you consider yourselves marathoners? When was the last time you raced something shorter than 10 kilometers? Today's guest, Hugh Enicks, was the top American at the 2011 Masters World Marathon Championships, finishing in 6th place overall. Would you believe me if I told you that he was also age group (50-54) bronze medalist at 3000m in 2011 at the National Masters Indoor Track & Field Championship? That's a lot of range!
Hugh, a retired Army officer, took a twenty-plus year break from serious training while serving in the United States Army, before getting back to the grind in his early forties. Now, a dozen years later, he regularly logs training weeks between sixty and eighty miles, and is one of the best runners in the country at his age group.
Want to know the trick to his success? He says it's racing at varied distances over the course of the year and not getting stuck in a rut. Here's some of the other things we're going to talk about in this interview:
Juggling a serious training workload with the rest of life.
The importance of core strength as you age.
Acknowledging that recovery is more important than ever before.
Logging a high volume of injury-free base miles.
