Starting Ultras At 48 - Jeffrey Weiss Part Two
Starting Ultras At 48 - Jeffrey Weiss Part Two
Description
We talk with ultrarunner and author Jeffrey Weiss about starting serious running at 48 and building a late-life endurance journey across marathons, ultras, and Ironman. The thread is mindset and structure: BHAGs, morning routines, smart nutrition, and writing that turns races into lessons.
• why Comrades lit the spark for ultras
• learning from a cutoff and staying in the sport
• run walk cadence and strategic rest for long races
• real-food fuelling, drop bags, and crew support
• morning training and fitting fitness to life stage
• BHAGs borrowed from startups to drive progress
• triathlon skills, Total Immersion, and bike endurance
• ageing well through consistency, strength, and balance
• mental tools, race reports, and reframing setbacks
• how the new book captures an arc others can use
