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. 600 10 $a Heinrich, Bernd, $d 1940- 650 0 $a Running. 650 0 $a Physiology, Comparative. 650 0 $a Aging $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Human evolution. 650 2 $a Physiology, Comparative $0 (DNLM)D010828 650 2 $a Running $0 (DNLM)D012420 650 6 $a Course aÌ pied. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0087177 650 6 $a Physiologie compareÌe. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0040075 650 6 $a Vieillissement $x Aspect psychologique. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0061890 650 6 $a Homme $x EÌvolution. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0023502 650 7 $a running (physical activity) $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aat300239496 650 7 $a Human evolution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963030 650 7 $a Physiology, Comparative. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01063206 650 7 $a Aging $x Physiological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800323 650 7 $a Running. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101348 655 0 $a Autobiographies. 655 2 $a Autobiography $0 (DNLM)D020493 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220824011048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17DC7D46237211EDB0CC782036ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
