25.01.2022 Here is a podcast I did for Steven Sashen at Xero shoes a few weeks ago: https://jointhemovementmovement.com/episodes/

22.01.2022 A note to say that I have extracted the ten OYF Rules from the book and listed them on the website - http://olderyetfaster.com/600/ - then I (or anyone else) can direct people to them in answer to questions or as a discussion point. I regularly post links to the articles on the website in answer to questions (such as why have I got bruised toe nails and I have been told to increase my cadence). :-)

21.01.2022 Many thanks to the UK Athletics Coach who reviewed our book this week - its very satisfying to have other coaches on board with our ideas :-) https://www.amazon.co.uk//R3C3HB/ref=cm_cr_othr_d_rvw_ttl

20.01.2022 Publishing update. The editor came for a run this morning and gave us an update. "The structure, the lesson introductions and the summaries are all spot on" - he is half way through and will be a month at the outside - university work, family life and new baby soon are slowing the process. So with the next edit and formatting to go I think March is now the likely publish month. Meanwhile the video work is going well and we are making some extra interview videos for release at the same time. Xero shoes have also offered to do some Social Marketing for us with the video where we are wearing the Prios.

19.01.2022 Here is the second video of a two-part interview Stuart Greaves did while filming for the book video lessons. The subject is "how to change to good running technique to reduce injury risk and increase speed at the same time". If you havent seen part one, watch that first. https://youtu.be/urOUcEY447k

19.01.2022 Book update: The book has come back from the editors proofreading - there are some small changes to do and the odd paragraph to re-write now some text and illustrations have moved slightly. The green ticks in the illustrations (like the crosses in the image above) are not showing so well in the printed version (electronic is fine). So the illustrator has been asked to make amendments for us - hea already on the job (thank you Ainsley Knott) - if youre looking for an illustrator, hes you man ainsleyknott.com

19.01.2022 Finally after 4 years of hard work, the second edition of Older Yet Faster is in print! We have streamlined, simplified and also added to the lessons and exerci...ses, added chapters on transitioning, for podiatrists treating runners, for coaches implementing the changes etc. We have also improved and added illustrations and restructured the content which has been very thoroughly edited and indexed. The books are available worldwide in print and electronic versions and also from our book website, olderyetfaster.com where you will find fuller details.

18.01.2022 Editing update: the editor says the copy edit is going very well - she is at chapter 9 of 20 but is off to Europe as planned. Work will continue while there but naturally there will be a delay. There should be very little to do after this edit - indexing and formatting and proofread. I am guessing August. Videos need a few small adjustments after copy edit but they will be done in parallel. Well have a few more videos on the public youtube channel just before publication.

18.01.2022 The third edition is now available world wide in various formats Paperback and Kindle Amazon USA https://www.amazon.com/dp/0648772713...

17.01.2022 Just made some updates to the video listings on the website which now have exercise numbers and names to match the book. Now you will be able to access specific exercises more easily. We have also been through each video and will be making a few small changes to many of them - just small things like replacing the book cover with the published design and changing a few background/filler clips.

17.01.2022 Second Edition update We had no idea this project would take so long but now we really are in the final stages. The new videos of all the lessons, strengthening and rehabilitation exercises are looking great too.... The second edition went for initial editing in December and the small changes suggested resulted in considerable re-organisation of chapters plus the creation of Appendices for Coaches and Podiatrists. The second edit resulted in further additions and took us through to February 2018. Our final editor has just finished a structural analysis which resulted in some further additions and improvements and now it is in the final editing and formatting stage. Our editor will be carrying out a substantive edit and then, after we revise the substantive edit, a final copy edit. Then, after final approval, the document will be formatted for printing, followed by a final proofread. After that, the other formats (PDF and ebook) will be created. We estimate this will take about 8 weeks as our editor is busy with other jobs. The final product will be near-perfect so we are happy to wait :-) The second edition will be available as before but additionally in printed form from Amazon, worldwide, You will find more details about the book in the About the Book page on the website olderyetfaster.com Thank you for your patience!

16.01.2022 A quick update on the 2nd edition. The editor is finished the detailed edit of all the chapters and just the three appendices to do. She has gov work this week so we can expect the book back next week. She says the book is in great shape and changes are minimal :-) She said its very interesting read and she wants to take up running! I expect it will take less than a week for us to review and accept changes - then its formatting and proofread time! Almost there. Tomorrow I... am going to review all the lesson videos with Stuart Greaves so that will mean all the videos will be completed very soon too. Exciting!

14.01.2022 The second edition went back to the editor An ( http://rubida.com.au ) after our comments and adjustments after her copy edit. I fear we gave her a few headaches but its looking really great. We missed putting peroneal tendonitis on the injuries illustration so have asked our illustrator Ainsley Knott (ainsleyknott.com) to redraw that so a slight delay there and a stack of text changes and renumbering. Were also moving one of our OYF Rules (we have introduced 10 OYF Rules in the book to help focus attention on important points to remember (heidis brilliant idea) which shifts things about a bit. Once the copy is set Ill finalise the videos (mostly title changes to conform with the book exercise text) - then were done!

14.01.2022 Book Update. After publishing a black and white interior book for India, we decided to do a similar version for Amazon. The lower printing costs (colour cost 6 x as much) means we now have a lower cost product which also can be distributed to retail outlets (currently by Amazon). The colour version makes only $1 per copy when distributed via Amazon, so this is a good option. The Indian version (which is not available direct from Amazon India) is available from Pothi.com an...d will soon be available via Amazon India and Flipkart. The illustrations were always designed to reproduce well in black and white (with Kindle in mind) and so the quality is still very good. You will notice that we have also changed the covers to mention the online videos, and whether the internal pages are in colour or black and white.

14.01.2022 Publication update. The formatting for the print version is complete and we have entered the Proofreading phase. We hope this will be finished by the end of this week. We have asked our editor to INDEX the book because of all the medical and running terms throughout the book. This will take some time for the electronic versions and we think the print version will be available before the electronic versions - we hope to have a definite publication date in a week.

14.01.2022 For our readers in India. The third edition is now available, locally printed - but just in Bangalore for the moment due to Coronavirus. With the low print costs in India making the book much cheaper there (999 Rupees), it is worth considering ordering from outside India (The service to Australia was very good). https://store.pothi.com/b/keith-bateman-older-yet-faster-0

13.01.2022 The paperback is now available in India on Flipkart and Amazon as well as from Pothi.com. The delay has been caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. https://www.amazon.in/dp/0648772748?ref=myi_title_dp https://www.flipkart.com/older-yet-fast/p/itmfdbf6g6rnzxmz

12.01.2022 2nd edition copy edit just back from editor. Will review over this week - getting close :-)

12.01.2022 Hi all, This interview is now free-to-air on runners tribe ... https://www.runnerstribe.com//natural-running-keith-batem/

11.01.2022 Just helped a client who did one marathon and then has been injured since - stress fracture in the hip, plantar fasciitis ... she was told a whole load of advice e.g. do shorter faster steps (made her slow and she fell on her face with low-moving feet hitting an obstacle), land on the outside of the heel, land on the forefoot etc, and was given orthotics for over-pronation (which is a technique and strength issue) and recommended Hokas - everything ended in disaster and years of pain. Good things that came out of this though as she now understands why all that was bad advice, shell stop her children suffering from similar things and best of all for us - everything she mentioned is already covered in the 2nd edition!

11.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who checked out the draft Videos of Lessons 1 to 3 - Wendy, we followed up on your suggestion for Lesson One and filmed some extra slow motion footage to explain that the ball of the foot will generally touch first but that is so light that you should only feel the whole foot landing. We also filmed some slowmotion landings at 4 min/km pace. We also removed and re-filmed the explanation of acceleration in Lesson Three, following some comments from Robert. Most of the filming is done and I excitedly await more drafts. Jamie is just about finished the editing and we expect to pass the book over for the final editing process on or before 19th March :-)

10.01.2022 Heres a podcast I was involved in, recorded this morning: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2706071039441115

10.01.2022 Book update: The book is back to the editor who is indexing it and making a number of small edits to clarify a few things. The Illustrator is working on some colour changes to the ticks and crosses in the images as it appears the colours dont reproduce as well as we like in printed format. James Bateman, my son is helping with encrypting the PDFs which will be available for download on our website. Wednesday is video day to tidy a few things and take a couple of sequences to match the book text. Onward ...

10.01.2022 Here is a podcast I was in last week - its a bit long as i "like to talk" :-) I hope you like it. https://podcasts.apple.com//older-yet-faster/id1356422412

07.01.2022 What a pleasure to see Hamish Lorimer today in his new showroom for Xeroshoes in Sydney (facebook.com/xeroshoesaustralia). Heidi and I were delighted to buy some shares in Xero Shoes a year or so back, to help this great company (Steven Sashen and Lena Sashen) develop and expand. Well, they have made tremendous progress since producing their first shoe just a few years ago. Now there are running and casual shoes (they look great and feel great too), trail shoes, walking boots... - an ever-increasing range of flat, thin, flexible shoes that will keep your body upright and strong, engaging your postural muscles and keeping them strong, and helping you to stand, walk and run correctly and comfortably. Hamish Lorimer will be there setting up and running the showroom from 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday. Its at Suite 207c, 414 Gardiners Road, Rosebery, NSW 2018 - 0414 265 398 https://www.xeros.com.au/ (updating shortly with new stock)

05.01.2022 Yet another short article explaining why some people bruise their toenails:

04.01.2022 The substantive edit is complete and we have assessed the recommendations and made improvements accordingly. Now it is back with our (very busy) editor but we hope to get to the copy edit stage quickly, before formatting and publishing. The edit has highlighted a few improvements to illustrations most of which have now been made - we even identified 2 small errors in the first edition which are being amended now! The videos are almost done and have been uploaded to Vimeo instead of YouTube as it better suits our needs. We are waiting to finish the video editing because there will be some small naming changes to the videos. It will be worth the wait!

04.01.2022 We are pleased to announce that our book is now available in print in India :-) https://pothi.com/pothi/book/keith-bateman-older-yet-faster

04.01.2022 Hi everyone. I have a small request ...

Cheers. Keith. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFY5a2jm6EBvyoZtHwYT-Yw

03.01.2022 Thank you Mark B somewhere in the UK for the 5th Amazon review of our book - another 5 star! Makes us feel warm inside! :-) "OYF Review... I purchased a cheap 1st edition kindle version of this book about a year ago which I believe was first published about 4 years earlier. I started following the recommendations in the book and definitely improved my running technique and speed. I was so impressed, I purchased the 2nd edition as soon as it was available. The 2nd edition isnt a simple more ways to run faster..., but is a careful reworking of the original with the authors considering each chapter and asking themselves (and others) how can we make this better, clearer...?. The result is an absolute triumph! With clearer instructions, better illustrations and even more good advice on technique, it leaves the reader/runner with no doubts about the techniques they are explaining. As well as chapters on building good technique, there are exercises for strengthening, advice on managing your transition, injury recovery advice, information on running shoes and much more. They have also recorded a new set of high quality videos that are available to those who have bought the book, demonstrating the techniques, drills and exercises featured in the book. There is even a Facebook group to help and support the readers/runners, and the authors regularly contribute and respond to questions. The 2nd edition really has take this book to a whole new level, Id highly recommend it."

03.01.2022 Heres a video the video man Stuart Greaves just made from the original take - shows where the cover picture came from - and shows those who have said its fake that, yes, we are actually well off the ground :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-5zHz0LEzc

03.01.2022 Heres another short article on running - how to cure weak glutes (hint: simple) http://www.olderyetfaster.com//ar/The-cure-for-weak-glutes - if you have the book then youll see its all in there :-)

02.01.2022 Third Edition is out!
