Ageless Athlete Newsletter. Weekly longevity insights + behind-the-scenes. No spam ever. 🚨
If you’re over 40, one of the hardest truths to accept is that the body and training approach that got you here may not be the one that carries you forward.
In this episode, Rob Lea, 45, shares what it took to become the first person in history to complete the Double Seven — climbing the highest summit on every continent and swimming the Oceans Seven — while navigating injuries, recovery, changing body demands, and everyday life.
We talk about why looking fit is not the same as being capable, how Rob adapted across radically different sports, and why staying athletic for the long run may require becoming a different kind of athlete.
This is a conversation about resilience, longevity, ambitious goals, and learning to change before you get stuck.
If you want to stay strong, capable, and adventurous as you age, this episode is for you.
