PRIORITIES

Find motivation with each age group or in beating your PBS with age-grading.

Use newly found time to train more.

Work on strength and flexibility, particularly in the calves and hip flexors.

Run on soft surfaces often.

KEEP ON RUNNING

Running can reduce the hot flushes that come with menopause. Research from Pennsylvania State University, US, found both objective and subjective markers of hot flushes decreased after a 30-minute moderate-intensity treadmill run.
