Joe Friel: Endurance Training for Super-Aging? Growing Older Living Younger: About longevity, wellness, healthspan,
-
- Alternative Health
EPISODE 154 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER illustrates the importance of mental attitude and physical activity for enhancing health span. Today I talk with triathlon and endurance coach, Joe Friel. With a master's degree in Exercise Science, Joe was a marathoner and running coach throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. After his first triathlon in 1983 he began coaching multi sport athletes, becoming one of the first triathlon coaches in the country. His book The Triathletes Training Bible, remains the best selling book on triathlon training. Joe currently lives and trains in the mountains of northern Arizona. It struck me that Joe Friel is a poster child for Super-Aging, and I wanted him to share with us, the inner drive and passion for his sport that keeps him fit and actively training in his 80s Some of the most frequent concerns I hear from participants in the Change Your aging Master Plan is that their activity level has decreased with age. Many have arthritis, fibromyalgia, or osteoporosis, and are much less inclined to keep mobile and active throughout the day. The first chapter in Joe's Triathletes Training Bible shows that a mental toughness mindset combining commitment, confidence and patience, is the key to success as a triathlete. I believe also that an essential key to aging youthfully is maintaining a mindset that with commitment, confidence and patience, we can remain physically and mentally vibrant, energized and active throughout our life.
