85. Sally Walker. Testosterone Replacement for Older Athletes.
After careers in the English and Danish health systems, Sally Walker works as a consultant on hormones and nutrition based on the island of Lanzarote. She also gives talks at the sports resort Club la Santa where we stayed in December 2024. As you’ll hear, she’s an advocate of older men using testosterone replacement therapy, particularly those who try to stay fit. Personally, I’m much more cautious about the whole subject, but I did get my testosterone tested. After listening to her talk on the subject we sat down and recorded this conversation which is available as a YouTube video and audio podcast at Always Another Adventure.

84. Emma Hebborn. Strength coaching older athletes.
Runners and cyclists know that, as we age, we should do more strength training to protect our bones, ligaments and balance. But what sort of training is best, and how to do it safely? Those questions led me to Emma at Wolfhouse Gym near Fort William in the Scottish highlands. As well as having a British record and world championship win, Emma has developed a specialism in coaching over 50s who want to handle the inevitable changes of ageing. There's a video version of this podcast and a shorter video in the Older Athlete Series which includes Emma's demonstrations of many of the things we talk about here.Strength for older athletes: Video: https://youtu.be/tkQgbtrxEb8Video podcast: https://youtu.be/Ojli8D5WhPIWolfhouse gym: https://www.wolfhousegym.com/

83. Ben Sadler. World Bicycle Relief
World Bicycle Relief empowers people and communities through life-changing bicycles. The latest version of their robust Buffalo Bike has two chains, two chain rings and a unique two-gear system to help people cope with heavy loads and rough roads of Africa. WBR is a very special cycling-focused charity and one I’m happy to support. On the banks of the River Thames, I speak to Ben Sadler, the Managing Director of World Bicycle Relief UK. I get to ride their new buffalo, and make a sharp exit when the Thames decides our interview is over.World Bicycle Relief https://worldbicyclerelief.orgInsight study https://worldbicyclerelief.org/idinsight/
