About this episode

Jeff Weiss shares his inspiring journey of starting to run at 48 and becoming an Ironman after 50, emphasizing personal growth and discipline.

What if your best physical performance didn't happen in your 20s… but after 50? Jeff Weiss didn't start running until age 48. By 50, he ran his first marathon. In the years that followed, he became an Ironman and completed ultramarathons — including a brutal 72-mile race. But this isn't just about endurance. It's about identity, discipline, and what happens when you stop waiting and start becoming the person you know you should be!
