ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT | SUNDAY, MARCH 24

The new retirees are redefining what life’s “third act” looks like The gift of longevity presents a new opportunity for travel, pursuing passions, spending time with family, and changing one’s relationship to work.

BY CHRISTINE LAVOSKY

T

he stereotypical vision of the 55+ community living out their golden years (and we use this term tongue-in-cheek) by lacing up on the tennis court every day or moving south to a sun-soaked retirement village is largely a thing of the past. As a result of steady life expectancy elongation since 1950 (with the caveat of a slight downturn during the pandemic), this generation’s retirement is much more dynamic and enriching — it’s highly personalized to each retiree’s unique interests, hobbies, goals, and passions.

When asked “what does retirement mean to you?” participants in a survey most often cited the words “freedom,”

“enjoyment,” and “stress-free” as the sentiments that best characterize retirement to them. Conducted by the nonprofit Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, the survey was targeted, in part, to baby boomers — the generation of people currently in retirement or approaching it.

Traveling more is the most common change people want to make in their post-retirement lives, with 67 percent of workers citing it as their retirement dream. For many retirees, experiencing an entirely different culture, way of life, cuisine, customs, and even learning or practicing a foreign language through immersion is the freedom they’ve been searching for.

For others, (57 percent of workers) pursuing hobbies is their retirement dream. After years of other responsibilities, like work or raising a family, taking a front seat, retirement offers a window of time to do what one is genuinely called to every day. Whether it’s finishing that novel, learning an instrument, or taking up painting, fly-fishing, ballroom dancing, or any other fulfilling activity, the focus can now be on what brings true enjoyment in life.

Retirement can also mean switching from full-time to part-time employment, working in a different capacity (like a high school teacher becoming a tutor), branching out into an encore career based on personal passion (not responsi-

bility), or even starting a business.

Those who can’t imagine their lives without the structure of a traditional job face potential retirement “boredom,” however, reframing one’s outlook on employment as a stress-free outlet helps ease the transition.

Working in retirement because you want to instead of need to is a great way to form new associations to one’s relationship with work and alleviate the potential feeling of a lack of fulfillment after leaving one’s full-time job. Work can also be redefined outside of the traditional idea of paid work: One in four workers dream of devoting their retirement years to philanthropic causes they feel driven to support, according to the Transamerica Center survey.

Today, retirement is much more of a phased transition into a life well-lived rather than a “pedal to the metal” work mentality followed by a full stop. Now, more than ever, people can let up on the gas in their own ways, creating customized transitions that lead into inspiring and compelling versions of retirement.

Delve into this special section filled with different stories of individuals from the 55+ community who have seized the opportunity for adventure, creative fulfillment, and exploration of their passions during retirement.

Age-defying athletes share their secrets Three sports. Three athletes with legendary longevity. Three life lessons.

F

BY ERIC REED (Provided by Tufts Health Plan)

or many people, age begins to slow things down. They go for fewer runs, climb fewer mountains, and eventually find themselves watching great triumphs more often than celebrating them. This process can feel inevitable and ultimately it is.

But some people push back. They run marathons at 61 and swim the English Channel at 60. They fight for a title after turning 40. They build good habits that don’t end when they turn 30 and see aging as a chance to push a little harder and find out how long they can stay in the game.

Joan Benoit Samuelson 1984: First women’s Olympic marathon gold medalist World-recording-setting marathon runner Benoit Samuelson set a Boston Marathon women’s course record and an American women’s marathon record in 1979, at age 21, when she finished the race with a time of 2:35:15.

In 2019, 40 years later, she ran the Boston Marathon again. Her race time that year? 3:05:18 — only about 30 minutes off from her first run of the course.

Samuelson credits her daily lifestyle with much of her long-term success.

“My physical health,” Samuelson says, “benefits from everything I do.” She doesn’t just exercise when training. Samuelson stays healthy in the way she spends time with friends and family, taking advantage of the woods and lakes around her home.

She stays healthy through her diet, growing fresh vegetables in her garden whenever possible.

Running and fitness are not breaks from Samuelson’s daily routine. They are her routine.

“I run the way I feel on that day,” she says. “My best speed work happens when I paint myself into a corner with time — when all of a sudden, I realize I have to be somewhere or do something and I look at my watch and I say, ‘Oh, I’ve got to get out the door now. And I’ve got to run fast.’ And then of course I always try to squeeze an extra mile into it.”

Patricia Gallant-Charette 2017: Oldest woman to swim the English Channel 2018: Oldest woman to complete the Open Water Triple Crown 2022: Oldest woman to swim the Sea of Galilee For Gallant-Charette, the journey to Calais began with loss.

When she was 46 years old, Gallant-Charette’s brother, Robby, died of a heart attack. As a memorial, her teenage son decided to swim the open water Peaks to Portland. Then he asked her to join.

“At that time, at the age of 46, I considered myself a little too old to be starting a sport,” she says, “because most of these top athletes started in their teens and their twenties.”

The day of the event Gallant-Charette says, “I can remember standing on Peaks Island and I was overwhelmed. There I was, gray haired, overweight, and I said, ‘Pat what have you gotten yourself into? [But] you’re here as a tribute to Robby. Just get out there and do this and it will be the last time you ever do an open water swim.’ But as I was swimming across Casco Bay something clicked.”

That “something” stayed and today Gallant-Charette continues facing her fears, setting records, and taking on some of open water’s toughest elements.

GL S-4 1st

“I had such a concern on my very first attempt at the English channel,” she says.

“I tried so hard for that, and I recognized that it might not be successful. I remember thinking, well, how will I react to that? Will I just throw the towel in and never do another marathon swim again? The decision to try again was made before I even set out on that swim.”

On her first attempt across the English Channel, Gallant-Charette had to quit due to strong tides. Her second attempt was canceled due to bad weather. However, on her third attempt Gallant-Charette made it. She crossed the channel in 17 hours and 55 minutes at age 66, setting the record as the oldest woman in history to make the crossing at the time. Mere months later, at the age of 72, she swam the length of Lake Zurich in Switzerland from Rapperswil — a 16.4 mile journey.

For her, the secret to staying strong is no secret at all. She keeps swimming out of sheer power of will.

Rodney Toney 2019: Ring 4 Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Four time New England Regional Champion National title contender 29 overall career wins “I used to fight on the streets all the time, because I lived in a prejudiced neighborhood,” says Toney.

“Four black families lived in a 1,000 house project, so it was kind of rough.”

For Toney, competition is about the head and the heart. To him boxing isn’t just a chance to grab three minutes of spotlight. It’s a connection with his past, a through line that runs from his Hyde Park childhood and his father’s own career in the ring.

Toney’s career began with a flourish when he won the Golden Gloves, an amateur boxing competition — just two weeks after taking up the sport. After knocking down his first opponent, Toney — then a cocky 20-year-old — began to celebrate.

“I thought it would be easy to win the Golden Gloves and I took it lightly,” Toney says. “And then the next round I almost lost.”

But he didn’t. Toney won this competition and many more after that until stepping back to coach two decades later. This first lesson, however, has stayed with him.

Even today as Toney coaches up-and-coming boxers, he looks for the spirit someone brings into the ring.

“It’s the heart, really,” he says. “If they [can] take the punch or if they listen afterwards when you tell them this is what you need them to do.”

Sometimes the secret is that there is no secret at all Staying physically and mentally fit into middle age and beyond takes a combination of countless factors. Genetics and health play a huge role. Some people are simply predisposed to keep their strength as they get older. Luck matters too.

But according to Dr. Brian McKeon, a sports medicine specialist at New England Baptist Hospital, the athletes who carry on year after year tend to have two things in common: psychology and injury.

“You wonder how this guy can do this and that guy can do that,” McKeon says.

Part of it is staying healthy. “When you get older, you just can’t recover from injuries.”

But, he says, “some athletes as they get older, they really stabilize their emotions.

Their psychological skills are just tremendous.”

The people who stay fit day after day, the ones who never lose sight of their goals and who keep setting new ones, they’re the ones who will seem to somehow stay competitive year after year.

Because ultimately, there’s no “somehow” about it. “You bank those habits,” McKeon says, “you’re going to reap those rewards.”
