298. She Started Marathon Running at 50… Now Coach Colleen Masse Has Run 22 (And 6 World Majors)

Most runners think once you hit 50… your best running years are behind you.

It's time to slow down.

Run less.

Lower expectations.

But what if that's completely wrong?

In this episode, I sit down with RRCA Certified Running Coach and Spark Healthy Runner coach, Colleen Masse, who started marathon training at 50… and has since completed 22 marathons, including all six World Marathon Majors (Berlin, London, Tokyo, Chicago, New York, and Boston).

But this isn't just a story about big races.

It's about what's actually possible when you train smart, stay consistent, and build a strong, durable body.

We dive into how Colleen went from thinking she hated racing… to finding purpose, joy, and community in running during a major life transition.

And more importantly, we break down exactly how she's been able to stay healthy while doing it.
