Athletes Over 70

Every once in a while something miraculous happens, generally when you least expect it. This month I was offered an opportunity to train on and borrow a recumbent bicycle, a Cruzbike. The podcast is the story of that offer and how generosity and gratitude intersect.

Bang! A simple hike, a simple slip, and a not-so-simple rotator cuff tear. Down for the count with my first injury in forever and now, in learning how to deal with a slowdown in training, I'm searching to put a positive spin on this.

How do you deal with setbacks, either by injury or some other life event.

In this short carcast, I take a look at what is becoming my process to heal physically, recover mentally, and get back to full form.

A friend recently said to me, "Age is just a number." But I don't see it that way. To me, it's an upgrade to a new version. As you age up to your own new version, how does that look? What's working, what's not, and what needs a pivot?

In this episode your host, Jeff Seckendorf, looks at upgrades, updates, and creating the best version of yourself.

Patty Wagstaff has been flying airshows and competition aerobatics for over 40 years. Now crossing into her 70's, Patty is still flying, still teaching, and still making aviation safer.

In this episode Jeff and Patty talk about risk, teaching and training, staying fit, and share a couple of seemingly crazy flying stories.

What is the risk of riding a bike downhill at 60mph/100kph and, more importantly, are you willing to take that risk? That's the first question. The second question is what is the perceived risk of that same descent? Are you lulled into a false sense of security because you've had a successful outcome time after time?

In this short walking podcast I take a look at risk vs. perceived risk and how that has changed in my life as I've aged up to my new, fancy age group: 70+.

I coach athletes at all levels and I've divided the constituencies into four groups: masters athletes, adults 50+, executives and other really busy people, and another group: people with Parkinson's disease.

In this short podcast I take a look at the differences and similarities working on fitness with this seemingly disparate group of people who all have similar goals.

We've heard it said you can be a high performing athlete into your 70's but it's not healthy or, you can be healthy into your 70's but that is not necessarily compatible with high performance.
