Balancing Peak Performance With Longevity, Part 1 (Breather Episode with Brad)

This two-part show is all about how to strike an optimal balance between peak performance goals and longevity. I talk about the most effective and appropriate adjustments you can make to your fitness routine as you age and the numerous benefits that come from broadening your perspective on training and how this can help you make smarter choices that support healthy aging. I also share some of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my personal journey in endurance sports when it comes to walking that delicate line between passionately pursuing fitness while also being practical enough to set realistic goals.Stay tuned for part 2!TIMESTAMPS:We are going to talk about the balance of your goals of peak performance and longevity.
