Running in your 40s, 50s, and beyond is not the same as when you are younger. This is especially true for women going through perimenopause.

On today’s show I’m joined by writer, runner, and podcast host Cherie Turner. We explore:

• How you can still get faster and live your fittest life no matter what your age


• How perimenopause can affect our lives and our running, and


• The bright sides of embracing your journey with a fresh perspective

Cherie Louise Turner is the host and producer of Women's Running Stories, a podcast where each week, one woman tells a story from her life as a runner. Not only are these women getting better even as they age, they are also crushing the stereotypes of what people think is possible.

So if you are a runner who’s getting older, which of course is all of us, stay tuned.
