MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Meet and learn why older men and women are passionate about fitness and athletics:

Don McNelly has completed more than 150 marathons after the age of 80.
Philippa Raschker has dedicated her life to track and was edged out for the Sullivan Award by swimmer Michael Phelps.
Clarence Bass, in his 70s, has the polished physique of a man 50 years younger.

Second Wind: The Rise of the Ageless Athlete is an absorbing account of a growing subculture of Americans who are challenging the notion of what it means to grow old.
