Here's something the fitness industry doesn't tell you: you can absolutely improve your running speed after fifty. You won't be breaking any Olympic records, obviously. But compared to yourself, compared to where you are now, faster is entirely achievable.
The key is understanding that speed training after fifty requires a different approach. When you're younger, you can do interval sessions twice a week and recover in time for the next one. At fifty-plus, that same approach leads to injury, exhaustion, or both.
Smarter speed work, with adequate recovery and appropriate progression, can genuinely make you faster. You just need a plan that respects what your body can actually handle.
The Flikness Approach to Speed After 50
Building speed without the injury risk that comes from overdoing it
Gradual Speed Sessions
Introduces faster running at a sustainable frequency. No shock to the system, just progressive improvement.
Adequate Recovery
At fifty-plus, recovery between hard sessions is crucial. The plan builds it in, not as an afterthought.
Journal Monitoring
Tracks how you're responding and adjusts if you're struggling or thriving. Responsive, not rigid.
Faster While Staying Healthy
The result is genuine improvement without the injury risk that comes from overdoing it. You get faster while staying healthy, which is the only kind of faster that actually matters.
Flikness knows your current pace and your goal pace. It introduces faster running sessions at a sustainable frequency, monitors how you're responding through journal entries, and adjusts if you're struggling or thriving.
Because speed gains that send you to physiotherapy aren't really gains at all.
