    Transcript from the video:
    My name is Geoff Wolcott. I am 66 years old. I was born in 1952. I was born in Barbados, so I am part of the Windrush generation. I came over here in 1957.
    When I retired, from what I call my "real job" which I spent 39 years doing, I was just a little bit bored at home. I was doing gym stuff and training people anyway. I just thought it was a good thing to get into just for myself.
    I started competing when I was, I think I was, 43 and that's only because I took my children to the track. And I used to see these, what I considered these, old guys running around. So I thought, well if they can do it I'll give it a go.
    My first international competition was in 2005. It was a world championships in Spain. I entered the 100m, 200m and 400m. And I made the final of all of them and I came 4th in the 400 in my first major competition. Everybody kept coming up to me saying, "that's really disappointing. Coming 4th that's the worst place to finish." And I tell you it's not. It is not and I nearly got onto the podium in my first competition. So that for me was the starting point.
    Oh and incidentally going back to achievements, my four by 100m team still hold the world record for the four by 100 relay in the M55 age group. That was in 2008. Yeah, we set that in 2008. It hasn't been broken yet. Look that one up.
    You're never too old, but it has to be tempered with this realisation that the body does slow down but it doesn't, it doesn't stop.
    I've reached a stage where I can actually train and maintain, but it's not only training it's about: eating well and living well. Your lifestyle has to complement what you're trying to achieve. Because people try and achieve these goals they set for themselves, but yet they don't address the lifestyle. Some people's lifestyle are not conducive to training. You can get away with it when you're young, you can't when you're older.

    MUSCLE THE NATURAL WAY
    There have been a few comments made here and in our other videos that wave off these ‘elders’ physicality and ability as the result of either Testosterone Replacement Therapy or Steroids.
    Before you let yourself off the hook and dismiss their results as only achievable with those methods, please note that the accelerated decline in natural testosterone that we see in our modern world is not normal. Steep drops in testosterone are more likely a result of lifestyle changes than ageing.
    One can maintain good levels of testosterone later in life by addressing their lifestyle. Here are 10 natural methods:
    1. Exercise.
    2. Don’t overtrain. Exercise shouldn’t make you feel broken.
    3. Eat a healthy balanced diet. We all know this, but we often need a reminder just how damaging eating poorly is.
    4. Reduce or eliminate sugar. Too much sugar is not beneficial for maintaining good testosterone levels.
    5. Reduce stress. Stress produces cortisol which torches testosterone long term.
    6. Sleep. Lack of it can cause cortisol levels to spike.
    7. Too much caffeine (reduce the cups of coffee and ditch the pre-workout). Again this can spike cortisol levels.
    8. Reduce or eliminate alcohol (and other recreational drugs). Too much is not helpful for maintaining good levels of testosterone.
    9. Avoid estrogen-like compounds. These are found in many plastics and cosmetics.
    10. Vitamins and minerals known to help are vitamin D3, fish oils and magnesium. Preferably eat foods high in this. Alternatively you can supplement them.

      Could not agree more, I train with a group of age 50+ swimmers and we compete in the National Championships annually and I swim for the county in my age group. I got to the point of training five times a week in the pool… intense sessions for one hour in the morning and I felt broken in the afternoons I’ve reduced it to 3 times a week and I am much better now. I even went to my GP to have my testosterone levels tested and she told me they were higher than normal. This should give everybody inspiration, that you can train quite intensively in your later years. I’ve since taken up cycling more intensively and combine that with weight training and my swimming for an overall benefit.

    Good man, Geoff. I'm 53 years-old. I've had my bloods checked for 21 years now. Trained in multiple sports for 36 years. My testosterone level is currently, 39.80 nmol/L (1147.91 ng/dl), which is considered sky high. What people don't appreciate is that my diet and lifestyle has been grade 1 since 1988. All I hear is, "you must be one something." I am, a happy healthy lifestyle. 'Manui Dat Cognitio Vires'.

    I'm 66 now and while I am not cut like Mr Wolcot, I am very fit with running and backcountry skiing as my two passions in life. I weigh ten pounds more than I did when I was running 400 and 800 meters on the track in high school. Naturally, I'm a lot slower now. But I can still do it. I don't compete because competition does not do it for me. I simply love to run fast so I do. I climb big mountains to ski down them and I hold my own with partners of any age. Some of the strongest people in the mountains I know are older than I am. I eat lots of vegetables and protein every day. I don't drink alcohol. I try to minimize sugar but I admit I have a sweet tooth. And I am sleeping better now than I ever have in my life. The stress of my career is behind me and I consider being healthy to be my primary job now.

I have been waiting for a total hip replacement last three years, so I don't go for excuses not to work around any limitations. How is this possible? A mental discipline to exercise due to a lifestyle of fitness. No alcohol. Remove or reduce stress, Embrace the cold weather season. A good diet. Find your purpose in life and beyond life.

    Hi Geof I started distance running at age about 38 in the jogging boom. Reached a couple of peaks at 41 45 the odd injury and other commitments held back until I was 70 grabbed 4 or 5 parkrun age group records and a +75 one still stands. But at 72 I fancied taking up sprinting training and won a few in the midland vets league and ran my best 200 at 75 training was mainly 50 metre flat out sprints uphill on grass plus the drills and dynamic flexibility I found sprint training great fun unlike distance running. But I am crazy still playing rock music at open mics at 83. Such fun!

      It's understandable that you and many of us would think that because we grew up playing video games then when they turn 22 get a desk job desk and finish the day in front of the tv. I remember I had to almost jog to keep up with my 80+ year old grand father walking to the market. I was only 17 or 18 and I was in good shape bc I played sports and walked everywhere those days. So, believe me. What kills us is that we stop moving regularly.

    Very inspiring! I am a 1952 guy also and really enjoy my daily treadmill sessions the last few years. I eat a healthy diet, lost a whole bunch of weight, and I am now fully recovered from a nasty case of Covid and Long Covid in 2021. After my illness, that treadmill played a prominent role in my recovery. That is how I start every single day, and it is the best part of my day. A short swim in the pool is a good way to top things off. You got me thinking I should incorporate some weights into my program, thanks!

      Thanks for your comment. I guess without scientific probing we don’t know how much of Geoff’s physicality and ability is nature, and how much is nurture. But we do know some never realise their gifts, or play around enough to stumble upon them, or realise that there’s value just in the pursuit. Once lockdown’s over we hope to profile some other physically active ‘elders’ and give our ‘Mastering Youth’ series more breadth. If you know any over 60 year youngs in the UK that we should profile please let us know. Here are those we’ve documented so far czcams.com/play/PLOEwaCXYbJQxrQme4heWP_V1Yjp1A2Z2q.html

      Whether it's sprinting or something else get a consistent activity that you do for fitness over the years.
      When you have kids just drop and do pushups a few times a day, or squats. Do something every day even if it's only a minimum at times. It's a mindset and discipline. If you give yourself any out you will take it, so require something from yourself every day. Two minutes of exercise is something and better than nothing. Throw a twenty pound rock around for a few minutes. Literally pick it up, over your head and throw it for two minutes. See how you feel at the end, then maybe do another two minutes.
