Another sizzling run by 63-year-old, Judy Bird, winning the over 60s category at the Spar Ladies 10km at Gqeberha, on Saturday in 41 minutes 40 seconds. 

I have coached Judy since 2002, and she holds the South Africa national 10km record for over 60s with a sub 40 minute run, two years ago, and is and amazing older runner that has stayed fast.

Judy is an inspiration and remains as dedicated as she was 22 years ago when I started coaching her. I have over the years adjusted her training to allow for more recovery, as we take longer to recover as we get older. She still does speed sessions and strength work, as well as stretching.
