About this episode

Many athletes slow down after 60. Annamarie Beaulieu decided to speed things up. After successfully stepping up to the 70.3 distance at 59, Annamarie is now preparing for the biggest challenge of an already inspiring endurance journey: IRONMAN Lake Placid 2027. In this episode, Coaches Rich Soares and Kristin Overton explore how Annamarie balances training with a demanding healthcare executive career, family commitments, and the realities of aging while continuing to set ambitious goals. They discuss mindset, consistency, recovery, purpose-driven motivation, and why meaningful dreams do not have an expiration date. If you've ever wondered whether it is too late to pursue something bigger, this conversation may completely change your perspective. Vespa Sponsor ReadThis episode is brought to you by Vespa Power Endurance Nutrition.If you're looking for a smarter way to fuel long workouts and races, check out Vespa.
