[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 year old woman and while fit, have noticed that I get injured more often now. I hate getting sidelined for a week or so at a time because it prevents me from training for races/events.

I was hoping that other over 40 people could share some of their regimens. I'm trying to figure out how I should modify my fitness/nutrition routine to prevent injury (I usually get runner's knee or extreme lower back pain)

My current regimen:

Work out 45-60 minutes a day (5X a week)

2 days of strength- free weights and body weight
2 days of pure cardio- Soul Cycle (1 day), running another (road running- 3-5 miles max)
1 day mixed- elliptical & strength

yoga- once a month (in a good month)
sports massage- once a month (started this after the 3rd injury on 5 months- seems to be helping)

Sleep: 6.5 to 7 hours
Nutrition: pescatarian- 1700-2000 calories a day (depending on day)

Thanks very much for your advice![/quote]
Another 42 y/o pescetarian here.  I have found that the only way I can avoid injury is by working out every other day.  The activities you are doing look great but if you keep getting injured, your body is saying it's too much.  I have found that with my healthy diet, working out less frequently did not affect my weight.  5' 8" 123#[/quote]
