Richard Benyo is the editor of Marathon & Beyond and race
director of the Sutter Home Napa Valley Marathon. He's also a
serious long-distance runner who over the past 20 years has
competed in practically every type of running event imaginable-from
400-meter runs to ultramarathons. This veteran of more than 35
marathons became the first person, along with Tom Crawford, to run
from Death Valley to the peak of Mount Whitney and back in
midsummer-a distance of 300 miles.
Rich was the executive editor of Runner's World during the height of the running boom, from 1977 to 1984, and the fitness and running columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1985 to 1990. He is the author of Masters of the Marathon, The Exercise Fix, and Making the Marathon Your Event. A member of the Road Runners Club of America, Rich currently lives in Forestville, CA, with his wife Rhonda Provost.

"""Runners are turning 50 in incredible numbers. Rich Benyo has
gone ahead as a sort of aerobic scout to share with the rest of us
what to expect: the joys to be celebrated, the pitfalls to be
avoided, the challenges to be embraced. But Running Past 50 isn't
only for the new 50-year-old runner; it's also a very readable
guidebook for those who've long since taken up residence in the
second half of their century of fitness."""

"""Rich Benyo has done his usual job of covering the constantly
