At 73, Ingrid Nielsen is in the fittest and strongest shape of her life. When you hear her talk about her training, you'd be forgiven to think she's been training her whole life, but Ingrid only started running at 67, ran a half marathon 6 months later and 2 years after that, at 68, she ran her first marathon.
If that weren't impressive enough already, Ingrid has the most incredible life story, having grown up in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa, Was a nun from the ages of 16-21, studied medicine, married an actor, divorced said actor 3 kids later, became a forensic pathologist, emigrated to Australia , became a Psychiatrist and opened a private practice at 45 to which she burnt herself out at 55.
She took a year off, went back to practice and slowly started to realise the life she was living wasn't sustainable.....
If you think you're too old to start a new life, you're not.
If you're think you're too old to start exercising, you're not.
If you think you can't, you can..... and Ingrid is the perfect example.
