Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, June 23, 2022 11:00 AM Today my pal Brad from bradkearns.com will discuss how you can evolve your fitness goals to age gracefully, preserve health, and pursue peak performance with passion throughout life. An Athlete Through the Years It feels as though I've had two distinct and disparate athletic careers in my lifetime. Many years ago I was an endurance athlete. It started with distance running in high school (mile and 2-mile in track and 3-mile cross country course) and progressed into a nine-year career as a professional triathlete. I competed primarily at the standard Olympic Games distance of 1.5-kilometer (0.9-mile) swim, 40-kilometer (24.8-mile) bike, and 10-kilometer (6.2-mile run). This event takes under two hours. I particularly enjoyed the occasional "sprint" event around half the aforementioned distances. I also competed at long and ultra-distance. I was 5th in the World Long Distance Championships in France in '88 (~6 hour race) and I still hold the USA age 24&under record at Hawaii Ironman (~9 hour race) from '89. Inside the triathlon bubble, we'd distinguish between a short course specialist with more "speed" and a long course specialist with more endurance. Technically, any triathlon, even a so-called sprint race, is an extreme endurance event from a physiological perspective. Endurance training guru Dr. Phil Maffetone cites exercise physiology research that 98% of the energy for two-hour competition comes from the aerobic system. Amazingly, even the mile run is predominantly aerobic, and the cutoff point for an all-out performance that's half aerobic and half anaerobic is an effort of just one-minute, fifteen seconds! Long retired from the professional circuit (27 years!), I've become more focused on a broader approach to fitness and pursuing competitive goals that are brief and explosive in nature. In 2018 at age 53, I broke the Guinness World Record in Speedgolf for the fastest single hole of golf ever played (must be minimum length of 500 yards), an all-out sprint (while golfing!) that took 1 minute, 38 seconds. After many years of recreational high jumping, I finally got on the board in 2020 with an official jump that was #1 ranked in the USA Masters Track&Field age 55-59 division. I'm recently over 5'1" (1.54m) at age 57 and will continue to raise the bar in my best attempt to age gracefully. My obsession with high jumping is strange in that the sport's objective takes around four seconds—a three second approach and one second from takeoff to landing (okay, Barshim might be in the air a bit longer than that.) That's a pretty dramatic difference from racing triathlon for hours! I'm clearly less genetically adapted for high jumping than I was for endurance, but the important thing is I have a tremendous passion for the event and for personal improvement regardless of my genetic predispositions. When I achieve a good clearance over the bar in an empty high school stadium, I scream with delight like it's the Olympic finals. In the most every important way, my satisfaction of success from this later-in-life folly is just as … Continue reading "How to Evolve Your Fitness Goals Over Time" The post How to Evolve Your Fitness Goals Over Time appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
