Until that point, she'd done little running, and her exercise regime consisted of little more than chauffeuring her children to their own sports clubs. In common with so many people, any interest she'd shown in sport in her childhood had diminished as her adult life progressed, with spare time becoming ever more limited in the face of work and family commitments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter that event, and following the loss of her husband of thirty years to cancer, she completed a marathon. Now, 75 years old, the past twenty years has seen Eddie take part in marathons, triathlons, and Ironman races across the globe and she has accrued many medals and awards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Ironman, Eddie looks back on her life and explains just how she's managed to develop the energy to match the enthusiasm she's always had for an active lifestyle. She shares the difficulties she's experienced in her sporting endeavors, and explains how she's managed to overcome them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEddie is passionate about the health and wellbeing of our ageing population and provides up-to-date research about why keeping active in later years is so important, along with guidance about how to remain full of life in your later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 378g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 153 x 20 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780751571110                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edwina Brocklesby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097539178746,"sku":"9780751571110","price":12.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/a8664ff7333c6a67030f1207f8fa0f38.jpg?v=1630551060","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/irongran-how-keeping-fit-taught-me-that-growing-older-neednt-mean-slowing-down","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
