Jeffrey Weiss

Jeff Weiss is the author of Racing Against Time, a fitness and personal transformation memoir. It tells of his mid-life adventures in extreme sports, including finishes at Ironman Arizona (twice) and the 72-mile ultramarathon Midnight Express between the ages of 57 and 61. These were the culmination of a fitness journey that began with a first 10K at the age of 48. Jeff’s story demonstrates the possibility of radical, life-altering change even during late middle age.

Racing Against Time is Jeff’s third book. He is also the co-author of Fighting Back: Stan Andrews and the Birth of the Israeli Air Force (Post Hill Press/Wicked Son 2022, 2025) and I Am My Brother’s Keeper (Schiffer Military History 1998). Jeff is featured in the 2014 Nancy Spielberg documentary “Above and Beyond” (available on Amazon Prime) about American members of the Israel Air Force in 1948, which received 22 film festival awards.
