About Me

Hi, I’m Scott—51, from Brighton, UK, dad to two amazing daughters, and on a mission to get stronger in midlife.

I used to be a marathon runner, but after a rough patch with my mental health, I let fitness slip and found myself out of shape. Now, I’m lifting weights for the first time, rebuilding my strength, and proving that it’s never too late to start.

Fifty and Lifting is my space to document this journey—the highs, the struggles, and all the hilarious gym fails in between. If you’re also looking to get stronger (without taking yourself too seriously), you’re in the right place. Let’s lift!
