Running A Marathon At 61 Racing Against Time From Jeffrey Weiss

From Running His is First 10K at 48 To Doing a 72-Mile Ultramarathon At 61, An Endurance Athlete Shows What Is Possible As We Age
While in his mid-life, Jeffrey was deep into a successful business career and helping to raise four children. He decided to spend more time on his health. He lost weight and trained for his first 10K at the age of 48.It turns out this wasn’t a passing phase or just a hobby. He would go on to run marathons and then enter Ironman and ultramarathon competitions. He reflects back on his journey and encourages others who are approaching or are already in mid-life to take ownership of their health in an inspiring, award-winning book, Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Mid-Life. 
“What began as a simple challenge to run a single 10K race turned into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and transformation,” says Weiss. “Within a decade, I pushed way beyond my perceived limits to become an accomplished ultramarathoner and Ironman, showing what can happen when we refuse to let age be a barrier to the things that matter most to us.”
