Thank you @fastover40 for getting us dizzy and inspiring me to get into sprinting more recently!!! Join us for the full convo on with @fastover40 who is world champ sprinter and coach to Olympic athletes!!! @allthingspossiblepod 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
We chatted about all different things Health and how good sprinting is for your health!! I was nerd girling!!!
@fastover40 explains how the fastest sprinters stay relaxed. Face, jaw, shoulders, breath. No grinding, no forcing it.
In this episode, Fast Over 40 coach Cynthia Monteleone breaks down why long jogs don’t match the demands of combat sports, how to train speed endurance without getting hurt, and the biggest sprint cue most lifters miss: relaxation.
We also get into warmups, tempo vs max-effort sprint days, hamstring pulls (and why “weak hamstrings” is usually the wrong diagnosis), plus recovery, nutrition, and supplementation strategies she uses with everyone from elite athletes to everyday people.

As we age, our nervous system slows down.
What used to be “fiber-optic speed” becomes more like dial-up—unless you train it.
Team USA world-champion sprinter and elite coach Cynthia Monteleone explains how aging disrupts neuromuscular junctions, slowing brain-to-muscle signaling, and why sprinting is the most powerful exercise for preserving explosive output, coordination, and longevity.
We break down why muscle mass alone is an incomplete longevity metric, how power training protects neural firing, and why sprinting sits at the top of the exercise pyramid for healthy aging.

⚡️I taught my 81 year old dad (now 83) to sprint because aging well isn’t just about staying alive longer!!!! It’s about keeping power, coordination, reaction time, and confidence in your own body for as long as possible!!!
🤔 Most people think losing muscle mass is the main reason we slow down with age. Muscle matters, but one of the biggest changes is actually the LOSS OF FAST TWITCH firing and explosive movement. If you never ask the body to move quickly, the nervous system forgets how.
👉No, he’s not out there running max effort track workouts every single day. We start simple, safe, and controlled and periodize efforts. . The goal is to remind the body it’s still alive !! 💥
👉If you want to learn more, get my neural firing guide, get my sprint programs, or get my free dynamic warmup for sprinting , they are all on my website FASTOVER40.com or comment FAST and I’ll send you think link. 👊 It’s never too late to be your SUPERHERO WARRIOR SELF!! I’m cheering for you!!

💁🏻♀️ I prefer learning from ancient farmers than Silicon Valley bros.
👉 I am starting to think a lot of modern biohacking is just people paying a sh*t ton of money to be guinea pigs in experiments that don’t necessarily work while ancient cultures figured out way MORE centuries ago!
👉For example-I’m over here putting 2 cent tocotrienol in my morning coffee because Maya medicine discovered it’s powers, meanwhile the medical journals are claiming scientists “recently discovered” tocotrienol and it’s benefits - (the longer chain of vitamin E. ) 😆🙄
👉This week’s Earthen Thursday Storm Newsletter is about ancient medicine, Maya wisdom, antioxidants, and why the old ways still work.
👉 I base my individual Metabolic Evaluations in the foundation of the past. It’s my honor to have a gift that helps others. I will always be humbly grateful for that. It’s my passion to help others thrive. 💪🤗

🎉 TB to my last Decathlon competition where I added a National Champion gold medal 🥇in the Decathlon to my other event gold medals. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
💪 CBS News was there doing a piece on 90 year old Flo Meiler who was braving the 98 degree heat and the 148 degree track heat along with the rest of us , to complete the 10 events breaking many world records along the way.
🙌 After becoming World Champion in the 400 in my 40’s I wanted a new challenge and took up combined events.
🤷🏻♀️ I was shocked to learn that women were only allowed to start pole vaulting in the Olympics in the year 2000 because they were thought to be too weak to do it 😡 and that they still don’t have the Decathlon for women in the elite competitions like the Olympics because our dainty selves can only handle 7 events not 10?? . I mean really!! ??
💪🏆 Can’t wait to return to competing in the Decathlon. I find the training needed for it covers everything from neural firing to mobility and encourages healthy longevity.

🎉At 50, I honestly feel better than I did at age 30.
I feel healthy, happy and glowing.
👉I learned it’s not the idea to push harder, but to choose foods and exercise (sprinting) to redesign my metabolism in a way that actually supports my energy, clarity 🧠 and strength.
👉This is the shift most women NEVER get shown—and it changes EVERYTHING, from how you feel in your body to how you show up in your life. It’s what I believe led me to become a World Champion.
👉If you’re ready to feel like yourself again, comment “RESET” and I’ll send you the link to my most popular general Metabolic Protocol to reset your body to reach your goals.
👉If you need an individual consultation that helps you thrive to your fullest-send me a DM that says “CONSULT” and I’ll send you the link to book an appointment. 🤗💪 or check my story for links -It’s my passion to help others thrive and I am cheering for you!!

🏆🥇 What if winning was a result of neurotransmitters???
💪👉The way you move isn’t just physical, it’s chemical too!! Focus, coordination, and reaction time all come down to how well your brain is communicating with your body. I use this method when I work with clients- both Olympian/elite clients and everyday people looking for results.
🔥 You actually can support that more than you think—through how you train, eat, and recover. I break this down (simply) in this week’s newsletter.

🍓Sprinting for BDNF 🧠 ,bone density, muscle performance, Nero firing and so much more!!!
🍓 Split squats, back squats, front squats, rhythm squats to keep me strong for life and sprinting.
🍓 Skincare- I haven’t used commercial lotion in over 15 years. I love making my own skincare @earthen_hawaii !!! My favorite ingredient is gotu kola- widely used in burn victim research, it is called the “herb of longevity” for a reason! Comment skin if you want a direct link to my Gotu Kola whipped Body Butter made with tallow , shea and cocoa butter. ✨
