Margaret competing in 1500 on the track
Dimity and Sarah welcome author Margaret Webb on the show to talk about her book Older Faster Stronger. Margaret tells how, at age 50, she morphed from an overweight, middle-of-the-pack runner who occasionally smoked to being as fit as she was as a 20-year-old varsity collegiate athlete. She shares her three secrets of speed, and talks about the importance of becoming her own champion. Find out how a fox and dolphin pop up in the World Masters half-marathon race Margaret ran in Italy.

This came up in my e-mail feed as “How to Get Older Faster…”- and my mind at 4:30 in the a.m. on a Sat. went…”Why on earth at 61 would I want to speed the aging process?”…hahaha -will listen after my run.
HAHA Cheryl, I didn’t even catch that ^^^. I read Margaret Webb’s book and as an “older” athlete, I loved it! I’m trying to accomplish some similar goals–trying to regain some speed from my youth. It’s working…!
Continue to love, love, love your podcasts. And SBS, thank you so much for sharing about your parents. The first time you mentioned them and their “death trap” home, it really rang true for me, with my grandparents aging and worrying for them. Keep up the wonderful work ladies!!
Let’s Rock these 50’s! I’m soon turning 53 and doing my best to stay healthy and strong and fast.
