i think we can agree that there is little solid research on this subject. The best I've come across is Older Faster Stronger and What Makes Olga Run.
I'm interested in any performance tips that older women can offer. The other thread has lots on handling symptoms of peri- and mid-menopause: maybe this one could proceed on the basis that you're through it, and how to make the best of what you've got. What's worked for me has been --
getting a solid 8-9 hours of sleep a night (and solid means not drinking, so no waking up at 3:00)
sport-specific strength training (specifically overgearing on trainer, swimming w/ band, 15+ level on elliptical)
eating red meat
pretty basic and obvious. Maybe others have better ones?
