If you’re over 40, one of the hardest truths to accept is that the body and training approach that got you here may not be the one that carries you forward.
In this episode, Rob Lea shares what it took to become the first person in history to complete the Double Seven — climbing the highest summit on every continent and swimming the Oceans Seven — while adapting to injuries, recovery, age, and the demands of everyday life.
We talk about why “looking fit” is not the same as being truly capable, how to adapt your training as your body changes, and why staying athletic after 40 may require becoming a different kind of athlete. This is a practical and inspiring conversation about longevity, resilience, and changing before you get stuck.
If you want to stay strong, capable, and adventurous over 40, this episode is for you.
