Athletes Over 70 #23 – Marcus Riley on the Difference Between Health and Fitness

There's a common assumption that hitting a certain birthday means stepping off the track, hanging up the running shoes, or retiring from competition. Athletes Over 70 exists to dismantle that idea completely. Hosted by cycling world record holder and coach Jeff Seckendorf, and presented by The Strength and Movement Alliance, this podcast delves into the real, vibrant world of high-level fitness in later decades. Each episode features conversations with athletes who are not just staying active, but are genuinely competing, setting personal bests, and redefining what's possible for their age group. You'll hear detailed discussions about their training philosophies, the adaptations they've made for longevity, and the mental resilience required to pursue ambitious goals. The focus is on practical wisdom-how structured training, recovery, and a deep understanding of one's body can sustain performance and passion. It's a resource for anyone who believes that aging up is an opportunity for growth, not decline. Tune into this podcast for honest stories that blend inspiration with actionable advice, proving that a number is just a number when you're committed to the journey.
