Cherie Gruenfeld started running at 42, discovered triathlon at 48, and is still racing IRONMAN in her 80s. Her story challenges what most of us assume about age, strength, endurance, and what the body can still do when we train with purpose.
In this episode, Cherie shares how her training has changed over the decades, why strength and power matter more as we age, and why recovery becomes part of the work — not something separate from it.
We talk about starting late, staying consistent, preserving muscle, adapting to an older body, and what it takes to keep showing up when most people would have stopped years ago.
This conversation is for anyone who wants to stay strong, capable, and competitive for life.
