There was a time when hitting 50 was cause for a crisis. Not any more. Fiftysomethings are crushing marathons and endurance events. They’re honing six packs at CrossFit classes and deadlifting impossible weights. Older models such as Eva Herzigová are back on the runway at 51, looking incredible. My social media feed is full of older cyclists, skiers, swimmers and runners. I recently returned from a rock-climbing meet in Malta where one of the best climbers was in his 60s and two were in their 70s. There are no excuses any more. Hitting 50 – as I will this year – is the perfect time to realise some of those long-held ambitions.
