An interesting up-close with our own Ponce de Leon from the Younger Legs for Older Runners Blog.

Here’s a preview:
Younger Legs: What do you do now in your training that you never did when you were younger?
Jim Sorensen: When I was younger, I would often hammer the last couple of repeats or intervals. I may run the last few quicker now, but I don’t blast them like I used to. I am also willing to take more days off. So it’s basically the same theme as we talked about before - I am more conservative. But that’s kind of funny, because I was always forced to be conservative in my training when I was younger, since I was so injury prone. So, in reality, I guess there’s nothing that much different. Everything is just on a smaller scale. This may be due to the fact that I now have a teaching career - not just because I am older.
