Fitspeek 157: A well-designed debut.

If you were a TV geek back in the 1980s, the quote, “I love it when a plan comes together” is probably quite familiar. And although Danielle Fauteux is not part of the A-Team, she is an A-level triathlete.

Danielle is fairly new to triathlon but she is solid proof that surrounding yourself with the right people, having a solid plan, and sticking to that plan can produce some amazing results.

In her 1st triathlon, Danielle was able to check off a bunch of things from every triathlete’s “must-do” list. Finish a triathlon – check. Finish an Ironman – check. Qualify for Kona – check. Survive a crash with a turkey vulture? Well, maybe that wasn’t on your list… Hear our conversation with this successful business owner and up-and-coming triathlete by pressing that play button below.

Fitspeek 156: BC Backyard Ultra

This week on the program we take another dive into the world of ultra-running and if you’ve never heard of a Backyard Ultra you are not alone. It turns out that it involves a lot of running. How much running depends on your mind and body. It sort of is a “last person standing sort of affair.”

Our feature guest this week is Agassiz Ultra Runner Marina Striker. She is going to give us a 1st-hand account of what a Backyard Ultra is. She was the top female! Marina is also going to let us in on some of her training and motovational secrets. Giving us the perspective of what it is like to be a crew member for one of these around-the-clock events is Fitspeek and Tri*Joy regular contributor Jamie Imal.

Ending off the show & fresh off his win at the Oliver Sprint Triathlon, Abbotsford Triathlon coach, Mikey Ross returns for another Top 5 List. If you are like most athletes, you’ve suffered a running injury, Mikey will go through a self-checklist to ensure that your return to running & racing isn’t too early.
