What does it mean to be a trail runner in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s—or even your 70s? How do years of pounding dirt, chasing summits, and chasing goals shape our bodies, minds, and identities?
Welcome to The Aging Athlete, a new Trail Runner Nation mini-series co-hosted by ultrarunning icon Krissy Moehl. Every 5 to 6 weeks, we’ll dive into what it looks like to grow older in this sport we love—exploring how to train smarter, fuel better, recover more intentionally, and stay motivated through the decades. We’ll hear from veteran runners, sports scientists, strength coaches, dietitians, and everyday athletes who are navigating the highs and lows of longevity on the trails. From injury recovery to hormonal changes, shifting mindsets to redefined identities, this series is for anyone who’s ever wondered: Is this just what aging feels like—or is it the miles I’ve logged? And more importantly, how do I keep moving forward with strength, wisdom, and joy?
We don’t have all the answers—but we’re here to ask the right questions. Let’s age boldly, together.
