We offer plans and guides to help vintage athletes get Outfurther, whether you’re looking to perform at a specific event, or planning a challenging DIY adventure. We understand the unique experience of master athletes and the necessity of balancing performance goals with long-term, holistic well-being. We want our athletes to keep having fun, pushing limits, and exploring new boundaries while staying healthy, strong, and confident.
As a veteran of both road and trail running, Susan brings 20+ years of experience as a competitive endurance athlete to Outfurther. Her training has evolved, incorporating more strength work, cycling, and Nordic skiing as cross-training to support long-distance mountain running projects.
Outfurther coaching rests on established training theory, tailored to the specific demands of athletes over 40. Expect specialized workouts, strength and mobility practices, and recovery routines designed for durability and longevity. With plenty of self-guided adventures under our belts, we also provide guidance on choosing your own goals, planning logistics, and prepping the right gear.
