Mid Life Athlete

S2E19 Breaking the marathon age group world record at 71. What mid life athletes can learn?

Jason Smith & Greg Ryan Season 2 Episode 19

This episode provides a possible glimpse into our future. We chat to Jo Schoonbroodt or ‘Jogger Jo’ as he is colloquially known, who at 71 just ran a 2 hr 54 min 19 sec marathon to become the world record holder for the 70-74 age group. An astonishing feat that many of us mid life athletes would be proud of! Jo has a great approach and philosophy to running that we can all take on board. As you’d expect we asked for some tips for us mere whipper snappers.
