Triathletes in Basements, Riding Rollers!

Fitspeek had to change the name of our Covid-19 interview series because of this guy. He’s a guy who has been to the Olympics twice, has won numerous 70.3 and Ironman distances races, and yes rode on his rollers (in the aerobars) for more than three hours.

Not only is he one of Canada’s most successful triathletes across all distances, he is also an inspirational guy and a heck of a story teller.

In Fitspeek 104, we feature our interview with Brent McMahon. Brent tells us about his long-term coaching relationship with Triathlon Hall of Famer, coach Lance Watson of Lifesport. Wow – 20 years!

Also in the podcast, we find out about how a guy who earns his living in triathlon can still keep things going, now that there are no more races (for a while anyway). And if you are looking for some motivation while you Rouvey or Zwift away, Brent’s ideas on how to keep things fresh and interesting in these most unusual times will quench your brain’s thirst.

Fitspeek 102: Russ Esau Moving at the Speed of Life

Being the owner of a successful construction company has got to put limits on a person’s training time but that hasn’t slowed down Abbotsford’s Russ Esau a bit. Not only is he a virtual shoo-in for the podium at any triathlon or running event in the 50-54 age group, he also can capture the overall.

In Fitspeek 102, we introduce you to the Abbotsford fast-man who speaks softly and carries lethal foot-speed. At the very competitive Pacific First Half-Marathon he won his age group with an other worldly 1:14:03

In the program we delve into his background in sports before running and try to find out his secrets for being such a fast runner and cyclist (not so much a swimmer). Listening hint: Due to the producer’s poor microphone placement, you may have to turn up the treble on this one. My apologies.
