In part one Chris Ward goes deep on the truth about firefighter fitness, long term health, and the realities of staying operational into your sixties. From the early days of joining the service to the shock of pension changes, chronic illness, fear of capability tests and the uncomfortable slide from “fit at twenty eight” to “struggling at forty five”, Chris lays out why fitness for firefighters is no longer about passing a yearly treadmill minimum. It is about health span, resilience, and building a fitness pension that carries you through a forty year career and out the other side with a life still worth living. Raw, honest and full of lived experience, this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what the job now demands.
