Many more of us are challenging ourselves and performing at a high level in sport, particularly endurance sports, well into our middle age. This podcast explores everything you want to know as a mid-life athlete, from how age affects our performance; how our bodies react to training; how should we train as a mid-life athlete; how can we prevent injury; what’s the best recovery process; tips on nutrition and how can we improve our mental health & psychology. We’ll interview experts in their field from coaches, medical professionals, trainers etc and a range of successful mid-life athletes to explore the secrets to success as a mid-life athlete.
