Welcome to this episode of the Faster Beyond 50 Podcast with Brad Nadauld and Coach Lindsey Parry - where we help runners over 50 train smarter, recover faster, and stay injury-free.
In today’s episode, we dive into the impact of booze on your training - from restless nights after just a couple of drinks to what happens when you try to run with a hangover. We also discuss:
- Why your heart rate might spike before you even realize you’re getting sick
- Whether it’s smart to run with a headache (and what could be causing it)
- Which sessions to prioritize when you miss training days due to life, work, or family
- And the pros and cons of splitting long runs across two days
Plus, we chat about the Cape Town Marathon’s potential World Marathon Major status, and why 2026 might be the perfect year for an unforgettable Cape Town + Comrades Marathon double.
If you’re over 50 and want to recover faster, improve endurance, and keep running strong, don’t miss our upcoming Faster Beyond 50 Masterclass. Click the link in the description or show notes to save your seat now!
