About this listen

I'm Paul Bird and I'm often asked why (at the age of 68) am I so driven, what motivates me and why each year, I set goals that I've never achieved before and in most cases never thought possible. Well I've decided to start a podcast to let everyone who's interested know, and to see if I can build a network of like minded oldies. The plan is to inspire people my age to take on more than they think is possible and challenge the youngsters to come along and see if they can keep up with me.

    Early Runs and Learning Consistency is Key
    Sep 19 2025

    In this episode, Paul shares his journey of training for a 50-mile ultra-marathon at age 68. From early morning trail runs and intense hill repeats to daily stretching and 18-hour fasting, Paul reveals the habits and mindset that keep him moving forward with consistency and smart recovery. He opens up about setbacks, lessons learned, and how age only demands smarter—not harder—training. Tune in for motivation to defy your own limits and embrace whatever challenge you’re ready to take on next.
