By Lee Bergquist

Meet and learn why older men and women are passionate about fitness and athletics:

• Don McNelly has completed more than 150 marathons after the age of 80.
• Philippa Raschker has dedicated her life to track and was edged out for the Sullivan Award by swimmer Michael Phelps.
• Clarence Bass, in his 70s, has the polished physique of a man 50 years younger.

Second Wind: The Rise of the Ageless Athlete is an absorbing account of a growing subculture of Americans who are challenging the notion of what it means to grow old.
