Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
I am always inspired by our older finishers at Outlaw events. Not are they defying the ageing process, but they do so with such spirit and enthusiasm. From their everyday ‘can do’ attitudes, to the energy with which they come up to collect their awards after the event. It’s something to which we call aspire which is why it always gives me great pleasure to chat with them. Today's guest is Linda Ashmore, one of the oldest ever female Ironman finishers, and the oldest ever female to swim the English Channel. Just a few days ago Linda won her age group at the World Triathlon Series Standard Distance final in Abu Dhabi, having qualified to race all four world championship distances in 2022 at the ripe young age of 76. I’m exhausted just thinking about all of this so it’s probably best if we hear the full story from Linda herself. Listen in as we discuss:

Linda also recommended the following books if you are looking for inspiration:
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall (Linda couldn’t/wouldn’t even run up a slope before she read this!)
The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown (I recorded a great podcast with Patrick McKeown in Dec 2021 which you can listen to HERE)
Breath by James Nestor (easier to read)
