This time on the show we meet an extraordinary group of folks who are part of a group that they like to call “The Club.”
Pictured above from left to right are Luis Alvarez, Jeff Jonas, Kevin Heinze (host), Elizabeth Model, and John Wragg.
Membership into this international club is simple, complete 50 Ironman-distance races and you are in! At the very top of the list, the guy they call the Chairman (John Wragg), has completed a mind-bending and record-setting 265 Ironman Triathlons.
Yes, an Ironman is an almost 4 K swim, a 180 K bike, then you get to do a full marathon after that, but you knew that, as a Fitspeek listener!
After I asked them all if they were crazy (and they all said “yes”) – I delved deeper into their motivations for doing so many of these races. Also, as I saw no evidence of wheelchairs or walkers, I had to also ask how they take care of their bodies in order to survive the demands of club membership. Fountain of youth secrets are revealed!
And speaking of clubs… Abbotsford Triathlon Club head coach, Mikey Ross stops by for another Top 5 List.
Every time you hit the finish line of a race, it is also a start line – for recovery. Coach Mikey explains the best practices for enhancing your post-race recovery. 45 minutes of awe-inspiring athletes begins with the click of the play button.
