And never before have people had such high hopes of remaining vigorous and active - young in all but name - long after retiring from the work-place. Yet that last goal, perhaps more precious than any of the others, remains elusive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It can be done, but only a few succeed. Most runners succumb to injury or illness in middle age; others are defeated by dwindling energy levels, or by the gradual falling-off of their peers. They can only envy the charmed few who continue to enjoy the life-enhancing joys of running well into what used to be considered extreme old age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Horrified by the thought of breaking off his life-long love-affair with running, Richard Askwith began to think seriously about a question with profound implications for every enthusiastic runner: how can you keep running, happily and well, for the rest of your life - ideally, well into your nineties and beyond? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Askwith's quest for the secrets of running longevity takes him on a long, mystifying journey: to laboratories and running tracks, cities and remote mountain villages, on several continents. He meets scientists and coaches, gurus and cranks, ninety-year-old sprinters and hundred-year-old marathon runners - and with each passing month his quest grows more urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54039222518106,"sku":null,"price":15.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/11545403482732.jpg?v=1776775443","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/the-race-against-time-adventures-in-late-life-running","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
