The World’s Best Marathoner Over 50
Welcome to the 9 Elements Podcast brought to you by Restore Hyper Wellness. I’m your host, Eric Hinman. Each week, I sit down with trailblazers in the fitness, nutrition, and wellness communities, exploring how they optimize their daily lives for ultimate performance to do more of what they love.
I am a 5x Ironman athlete, brand builder, and someone who’s obsessed with health and wellness - structuring much of my day around fitness and recovery protocols.
At age 51, Ken Rideout works in finance, trains as an endurance athlete and is the father of four children, plus the co-host of The Fight Podcast alongside Teddy Atlas. Not only is he aging with intention, he's rewriting the rules of athleticism and age, and juggling his passion with the demands of life, work and family. Plus, he’s super fast on the track, consistently creating new PRs for his age range. Hailed by the NY Time as the “World’s Best Marathoner Over 50,” Rideout finished the N.Y. Marathon in 2:33, winning the 50-54 age group category by a full 16 minutes. And he’s nowhere close to done yet.
