Over 50 & Strong

18/06/2026

Many successful professionals see their health as something they need to fit around their career. But what if that's the wrong way of looking at it?

In this episode of The Resilient Life – The Art of Ageing Strong, Chris Deavin explores why exercise, nutrition, sleep and recovery aren't simply health habits—they're performance habits. Drawing on his experience as a health coach, business owner and ultra-runner, Chris shares why looking after yourself may be one of the most effective ways to improve your energy, focus, resilience and effectiveness at work.

If you're a business owner, executive or professional over 50 who feels like health and career success are constantly competing for your time, this episode will encourage you to think differently.

In this episode:

- Why "things calming down" rarely happens
- The hidden connection between health and professional performance
- Lessons learned while training for a 24-hour Backyard Ultra
- Why the healthiest professionals don't see health as a separate activity
- How exercise, sleep and recovery help you become more capable in business and life
- Why health may be the foundation that supports your success

If you want to stay healthy, fit, strong and capable while continuing to perform at a high level in your career, this episode is for you.

Why exercise, nutrition, sleep and recovery may be the foundations of professional performance rather than distractions from it.
