There is something really magical about this conversation with Jayn and Yeti. This discussion is a gentle, relaxed insight into their aspirations, approach to training and general relationship as they participate in the senior categories at trail & ultra distance events. What really inspires me is the way that they continue to strive to be both the best versions of themselves and the best partner that they can be to each other. Frequently they work together as a team, other times they strive toward their own dream. However, like two halves make a whole, they unite to kick some amazing goals.
I loved this low-key insight into the lives of athleticism in latter age and a life-long relationship. I hope you do too.
Take Home Points:
• How we could define ‘success’ as an aging athlete
• Recognising the amazing inclusive community that the sport of trail running has for all ages.
• We all share similar emotional experiences in sport regardless of age and ability
• We are never too old to set goals and improve our performance
• Regardless of age we should all be able to call ourselves athletes and ride the highs and lows that come with being an athlete, and the lessons it provides.
