01/27/25 • 45 min

Steve is 59 years old and has been a wonderful member of the GoPerform training community for the last 3.5 years. He has a physically active job which also involves management of a team. In this episode with Tristan he discusses the journey he has been on with his health in the past 3-4 years and how his perspective has changed from "living to 100" to being able to run and stay active well into his 90's.
We meet lots of people turning 60 who want to make drastic changes to their health and lifestyle. Steve is a great example of how simple changes on a daily basis can make a huge difference in all aspects of life, from any age.
They discuss diet, sleep, training, stress management and much more. This is a brilliant and inspiring listen.
