  • S5E9 Pain & Injury Pt 3: Rehab — Progression, Not Perfection

    S5E9 Pain & Injury Pt 3: Rehab — Progression, Not Perfection
    Aug 1 2026

    Why does the pain go away before you're actually fixed? In the final part of our pain series, Greg and I get into what rehab really looks like once the diagnosis is right — from why "this exercise works your glutes" is nonsense (your brain runs tasks, not muscles) to how to tell a technique problem from a genuine tissue one. We bust the usual myths — knees over toes, weak cores, tight hamstrings — and land on the one thing that actually matters: progression, not perfection.

  • S5E8: Riding Through the Fog: Grief, Agency, and the 321 Mont Blanc Challenge

    S5E8: Riding Through the Fog: Grief, Agency, and the 321 Mont Blanc Challenge
    May 31 2026

    In this deeply personal and moving episode of the Midlife Athlete Podcast, host Greg Ryan sits down with his regular co-host, Jason Smith, who steps into the guest seat to share the motivation behind his upcoming endurance challenge. They are joined by Dr Rupali Kulshreshtha, lead clinical psychologist at the London Clinic, to explore the intersection of physical health, trauma, and the psychological landscape of grief.

    The conversation centers on Jason’s "321 Challenge"—a grueling road bike journey spanning three countries in two days around one mountain (Mont Blanc)—undertaken in memory of his close friend, Dave, who recently passed away from cancer. Together, they discuss why we turn to extreme physical feats in the wake of loss and how athletes can navigate their own mortality.
