A dedicated and accomplished marathon (and ultra-marathon) runner who won his first marathon at age thirty-nine, Heinrich looks deeply at running, aging, and the body, exploring the unresolved relationship between metabolism, diet, exercise, and age. Why do some bodies age differently than others? How much control do we have over that process and what effect, if any, does being active have? Bringing to bear research from his entire career and in the spirit of his classic Why We Run, Heinrich probes the questions of how we use energy and continue to adapt to our mutable surroundings and circumstances. Beyond that, he examines how our bodies change while we age but also how we can work with, if not overcome, many of these changes--and what all this tells us about evolution and the mechanisms of life, health, and happiness. 650 0 $a Running. 650 0 $a Physiology, Comparative. 650 0 $a Aging $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Human evolution. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20231005010321.0 952 $l OEPC877 $d 20220707165240.0 $m 796 Hei 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20211030010426.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020011207.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210923010623.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010431.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210902011246.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210721010407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01AD7458E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
