Run for Life

In Run for Life, Roy Wallach says, Run to 100. Not just live to 100 and shuffle along when you get there, but do what few, if any, have ever done: Actually run a 5k, 10k, or even a marathon on your 100th birthday. That?s the blueprint for super-fit running longevity laid out by Run for Life, which combines cutting-edge scientific research with old-school knowledge for a one-two punch that fights the natural deterioration of aging and the specific problems of running.
