Stronger at 47: The Hard Truths, Small Wins, and My Everyday Habits That Keep Us in the Game
This week’s episode is a little different.
Instead of interviewing a legendary athlete or coach, I was invited onto the Adventure Sports Podcast to talk about the questions that many of us — everyday athletes, weekend warriors, late bloomers, and lifelong learners — wrestle with as we get older.
If you come to Ageless Athlete for honest conversations about aging, movement, and staying curious in a changing body, this episode is very much in that spirit.
We recorded this conversation back in May, but the themes feel even more relevant now:
How do we keep doing the outdoor sports we love?
How do we adapt with age?
And how do we stay connected to joy when progress shifts shape?
In this episode, we explore:
- what aging actually feels like for an an everyday athlete
- why our relationship with our sport changes over time
- how to stay motivated when improvement slows
- the role of curiosity in lifelong performance
- how community shapes longevity in outdoor sports
- why reinvention is normal — and sometimes necessary
These aren’t lessons from the mountaintop — they’re observations from someone who’s simply been asking these questions alongside you, year after year, conversation after conversation.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- How do I keep climbing, running, biking, surfing as I age?
- What do I do when my body surprises me — in good or difficult ways?
- How do “regular people” stay active for decades?
This episode offers perspective that’s honest, relatable, and grounded in real experience — mine, and the many people I’ve learned from.
