Why You Can’t Buy My Forever Runner Method Book for runners over 50

Herb introduces Forever Runner podcast episode 39 and explains why he wrote a Forever Runner Method book for runners over 50 but won’t sell it. After a second heart attack around age 62 and years of ultrarunning with frequent soreness and injuries, he adopted Dr. Phil Maffetone’s low–heart rate aerobic training, maffetone method, but found the standard formula didn’t work well for runners over 60, so he developed his own approach. He reports older runners using his method in their 60s and 70s ran pain-free, lost body fat, and improved pace, including one runner losing 20 pounds and running a minute per mile faster in 30 days. Herb chose not to publish on Amazon due to low follow-through, limited marketing, and lack of support, shut down a 10,000-member Facebook group, and now offers the book free inside a Forever Running Club on the Skool app for community accountability and direct access.
