E2 | Colin's Story: A Heart Scare, the Deadly Dozen, and Training at Any Age

from CONVERSATIONAL PACE® · host PACE®

In this episode of CONVERSATIONAL PACE®, we sit down with one of our own members, Colin Chalmers.Almost exactly a year ago, Colin experienced a heart scare that landed him in hospital. What followed is a story that speaks for itself, a consultant telling him that his training had put him in a far stronger position than most, and a recovery that saw him back in the gym and going from strength to strength.Colin shares his journey from trying the gym door three times before finally stepping inside, to competing at Turf Games with the PACE® community, and most recently taking on the Deadly Dozen in Edinburgh alongside his daughter Hannah. We talk about training as you get older, the mindset instilled in him from a farming upbringing, doing your best over winning, and why he feels 28 despite what his birth certificate says.More than anything, this is an honest conversation about health, family, community, and the second lease of life that comes from simply showing up and putting in the effort.Whether you're already part of the PACE® community, someone who's been putting off walking through the door of a gym, or you're simply looking for a reminder that it's never too late to start, this one's for you.Follow CONVERSATIONAL PACE® for future episodes covering fitness, business, mindset, life lessons, and conversations with special guests from a wide range of industries.
