11. The fastest woman in the world at 71

What if aging isn’t about slowing down — but continuing to build strength, purpose, and possibility?In this episode, I sit down with masters sprinter Wendy Alexis, who recently became the fastest woman in the world in the 70–74 age category in the 60m sprint.At 71 years old, Wendy is still training, lifting, sprinting, competing internationally, and chasing new goals.What makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just the world record.It’s the way she talks about movement, community, aging, and what happens when women stop limiting themselves based on age.Wendy didn’t return to the track until age 50.She started with one race. One practice. One decision to try.And that decision completely changed the course of her life.In this episode, we explore:• Why Wendy returned to sprinting at age 50• What it felt like to become the fastest woman in the world in her age category• The role coaching, community, and support play in performance• Why masters sports are accessible to everyone — not just elite athletes• How movement changes physical and mental health as we age• The joy and freedom of sprinting• Why women continue getting stronger, faster, and more capable later in life• The importance of setting meaningful goals at every age• How sport creates friendship, purpose, and confidence in midlife and beyond. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation:You are never “too old” to begin.Sometimes one decision changes everything.If you’re looking for support around movement, healthy aging, and community:Join my free community → #womenwhomove Download my free guide → Fueling for Hormones & Metabolic Health.
