The “100 Year Athlete,” an Off The Mountain (OTM) production, dives into the stories and training habits of ageless athletes ranging from Olympians to local legends. We learn about what they do in the gym and why, how they fuel and recover, and what it means to balance longevity and performance into the golden years.
