About this listen
At 67, Sir Christopher Ball had never been a runner. A doctor told him he was slightly overweight and needed more exercise, so he started jogging. That decision led to 7 marathons in 7 days, a world record for 10 marathons in 10 days at 72, and the creation of the Brathay 10in10 Challenge - all proving movement really has no age limit.
Now, at 90, he’s still running and planning his 100th birthday race. In this episode, we talk about mindset, movement and why ageing should be an adventure - not a decline.
“Age should be an adventure. It’s an adventure like going into a jungle. It is quite dangerous. And you never know what’s going to leap out from behind the next tree. But approach it as one of the great adventures of life - positively.”
Sir Christopher Ball’s view on the world is truly inspiring and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this conversation and you cannot fail to either.
