Racing Against Time: Ironman, Ultramarathons & Midlife Transformation with Jeffrey Weiss

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Jeffrey Weiss shares his inspiring journey of discovering endurance sports at 48, turning a casual 10K into Ironman finishes, ultramarathons, and a philosophy that audacity can be trained. We explore how fitness became his compass for midlife reinvention, why healthspan is a leadership skill, and practical strategies for staying consistent, fueling the body, and managing risk. Whether you’re new to endurance sports or looking for motivation to embrace challenges in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, Jeffrey’s story proves it’s never too late to push limits.

About the Guest:Jeffrey Weiss began his endurance journey at 48 and has since completed marathons, Ironman races, and ultramarathons. His work focuses on pushing human potential, cultivating consistency, and using physical endurance as a metaphor for life and leadership. Jeffrey’s experience underscores that audacity and healthspan can be intentionally trained at any age.

Key Takeaways:

• Starting late doesn’t limit achievement: consistent, small habits compound into extraordinary results.

• Endurance sports teach focus, risk management, and mental clarity transferable to work and life.

• Healthspan, not just lifespan, is a critical leadership and life skill.

• Chunking challenges into smaller, manageable goals prevents overwhelm and builds momentum.

• Fueling and diet strategies, like plant-forward or modified vegetarian diets, support sustainable endurance.

• Cross-training reduces injury risk and ensures balanced fitness progress.

• Age-appropriate goal setting balances audacity with realism, preventing unnecessary injury while encouraging growth.
