## Resource

Everyone talks about your athletic prime like it is a cliff you fall off at 30. It is not. Amanda, Nic, and Jess Gordon get into how different athletic qualities age at completely different rates, why sprint and power sports peak young while endurance keeps rewarding you into your 40s and 50s, and why women often hold onto endurance performance exceptionally well. They break down when people actually peak across strength, power, and endurance, why so much of the early decline people blame on age is really about lifestyle and training habits, and why the ultra distance podium is basically the wild west of what is possible later in life. If you have ever been told to just wait until you are 30, or 40, or 50, this one is going to age well.
