Over and over, I’ve heard runners say “I’m older, I can’t….”
I say, start that sentence over as “Because I’m older, I can…..”
Huge difference.
Sure, maybe if we were speed demons in our younger days, we may not reach those blistering distances again, or if we could eat anything and never gain an ounce, we have to be super careful now, but there’s nothing that says we have to succumb to age and disappear in the background.
I refuse and I know many people just like me. Today, I talk to two amazing people who are accepting life with open arms.
Tony Portera is an amazing ultrarunner. He’s co-host with Ruel Abadam of the podcast the Ultra Diner and he’s completed many of the world’s most difficult races. He talks about those and more.
Lara Zuehlke’s podcast Fit Over 40 interested me a while ago. She’s the found of Zulafit, where she helps women learn to have more balanced lives with food. Her podcast is no nonsense and nails down a lot of causes why we overeat and speaking with her was really interesting and enjoyable.
#17 - They say the 60s are the new 30s or the 70s are the new 40s or....I think what they're trying to say is that we all get older but that shouldn't stop us from doing what we love. If you're listening to Martha Runs the World, I'm guessing you love to run. There's no reason aside from major medical conditions, that anyone should stop running just because they're past 35. Sure, we may have to switch things up a bit or add a few extra steps into our workout routines, but we can do this! In this week's episode, I'm joined first by Tony Portera, co-host of the podcast Ultradiner, where with co-host Ruel Abadam, they talk about all things in ultra running. But Tony is more than that. He is Ultrarunner Extraordinaire and reminds us that we can keep going as long as our legs take us. Then I'm joined by Lara Zuehlke of the podcast Fit Over 40. Lara is a fitness and food expert and helps us understand ourselves and how we can improve our lives as we get older. They are both incredible people and their podcasts are terrific. I will have links to both of them in the show notes of my website www.martharunstheworld.com You can email me with comments or suggestions for future shows at martharunstheworld@gmx.com
