The Aging Athlete #2 - From Smoking and Auto Immune Disease to Endurance Athlete
Join me as I interview friend, inspiration and aging athlete, Michael Berger (age 65) to hear his story about auto immune diagnosis, dealing with ulcerative colitis, weight gain and smoking to how he regained his health and became a competitive endurance athlete. Michael owns an insurance agency in Atlanta, GA and is a proud father. He found a community with Team Challenge (Crohn's and Colitis Foundation) and now Michael represents that community when he competes and helps inspire others to get moving and get out and do life, at any age.
In the last 9 years Michael has completed the Kona IM World Championships twice, Xterra World Championships in Maui 3 times, has completed 3 Boston Marathons and also represented Team USA at the Long Course World Triathlon Championship in Belfort, France.
