Ironman.com has posted excerpts from a new book on aging by Ian Stokell. It looks like he beat Joe Freil to the punch on this one. http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/news/articles/2014/04/masters-triathlon-does-age-matter.aspx#axzz2yM6g1zNr

From the excerpts it doesn't look like anything new that i haven't read in Joe's blogs or other places. it does align well with the EN training I've been doing in the OS and get faster.

    Mark, thanks for posting. Certainly nothing new in there, but depressing to see all of it in one place. I was lifting 3 x per week during the OS but have backed off to 1 or 2 times per week now that I am starting the season. And I have been working to put in more intensity and less reliance on volume. I also realize that until I retire, I'm going to have to work out a little less to get additional recovery. That's the one part where I disagree with the article...I hate recovery time every bit as much now as I did in my 20s.
