Masters athletes are men and
women over 35 who compete in sports at a very high level. Not surprising
that these athletes are more fit than your average adult, with the
majority of them being healthier and just as competitive then people
half their age. SIRC was inspired by Olga Kotelko and the book What Makes Olga Run
and we were saddened by her recent passing. At 95, Olga held over 25
world records and possessed hundreds of medals which would be impressive
for any athlete, let alone a retired school teacher that decided to try
athletics at the age of 77.This issue SIRC has compiled articles that talk about all aspects of being a masters athlete, from coaching and training to injury prevention and nutrition. We share these articles in the hope that you will be inspired by these amazing athletes to get active and maybe try something you never thought was possible.
