About this listen

Hosted by pro ultrarunner Michael Wardian and long-time endurance athlete Hilary Cairns, Aging Athletically explores what it means to pursue performance as we age. Through conversations with athletes and experts across sports, we challenge the idea that aging equals slowing down. This show is about resilience, reinvention, and continuing to compete at any age.

He also shares insights into his new book, The Running Ground, a great read for runners and non-runners alike!
