Train Like You’ll Live Forever: Why Your Future Self Needs You Now
What do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?
20 years?
How about when you’re 80… or even 100?
Most people don’t think that far ahead. But they should.
That’s what the Centenarian Decathlon is all about.
What Is the Centenarian Decathlon?
The Centenarian Decathlon is a powerful idea from Dr. Peter Attia MD.
It’s about training for the 10 or so physical tasks you want to still be able to do when you’re 100 years old.
Think about it like this:
🎯 Pick the real-life “events” that matter to you.
Then train for them—now.
⸻
So… What Do YOU Want to Do Later in Life?
This isn’t about winning medals.
It’s about moving well, feeling strong, and living with purpose—for life.
Here are a few examples to get you thinking:
🏌️♂️ Swing a golf club without back pain
🛫 Travel with ease and no fear of getting hurt
🧒 Pick up your grandkids without hesitation
🚶♂️ Walk up stairs or hike without losing breath
🪑 Get off the floor without needing help
These are your “events.” This is your decathlon.

Work Backward from 100
Once you know what you want to do at 80, 90, or 100…
Ask yourself: What do I need to be doing at 60 to get there?
Then: What do I need to be doing at 40? Or right now?
If you want to play 18 holes of golf pain-free at 90,
you can’t wait until 89 to start training.
You need strength, mobility, and durability today.
Training your future self starts with what you do this week,
this month, and this year.
⸻
Don’t Train for Today. Train for 30 Years from Now.
Most people don’t lose strength because they’re old.
They get old because they lose strength.
Every workout. Every stretch. Every recovery session—it all adds up.
And it all matters.
Forget “anti-aging.”
This is pro-living.
