Media Reviews

Runners are turning 50 in incredible numbers. Rich Benyo has gone ahead as a sort of aerobic scout to share with the rest of us what to expect: the joys to be celebrated, the pitfalls to be avoided, the challenges to be embraced. But Running Past 50 isn't only for the new 50-year-old runner; it's also a very readable guidebook for those who've long since taken up residence in the second half of their century of fitness.

Rich Benyo has done his usual job of covering the constantly challenging area of aging. A very informative book.

Author Bio


Richard Benyo is the editor of Marathon & Beyond and race director of the Sutter Home Napa Valley Marathon. He's also a serious long-distance runner who over the past 20 years has competed in practically every type of running event imaginable-from 400-meter runs to ultramarathons. This veteran of more than 35 marathons became the first person, along with Tom Crawford, to run from Death Valley to the peak of Mount Whitney and back in midsummer-a distance of 300 miles.

Rich was the executive editor of Runner's World during the height of the running boom, from 1977 to 1984, and the fitness and running columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1985 to 1990. He is the author of Masters of the Marathon, The Exercise Fix, and Making the Marathon Your Event. A member of the Road Runners Club of America, Rich currently lives in Forestville, CA, with his wife Rhonda Provost.
