What We Cover

The Science of Running Long

Evidence-based content from a neurologist who runs 30 miles a week and studies why it works.

🧬
Running & Longevity

Why one marathon a year may be the single most powerful intervention for healthy aging — the cellular, cardiovascular, and neurological evidence.

🧠
The Runner's Brain

How aerobic exercise reshapes the aging brain — neurogenesis, BDNF, dementia prevention, and why runners think differently as they age.

⏱️
Biological Age vs. Chronological Age

What PhenoAge, VO2 max, and inflammation markers actually tell us — and how running moves every single one in the right direction.

💪
Training After 50

Evidence-based protocols for volume, recovery, strength, and nutrition built for the masters athlete — not recycled advice from 30-year-olds.

❤️
Heart Health & Running

The latest cardiology research on endurance exercise, coronary calcification, HRV, and what your resting heart rate is really telling you.

🏃
Marathon as Medicine

A neurologist's case for the marathon as the optimal annual longevity intervention — the data, the reasoning, and how to do it safely at any age over 50.
