Fitspeek 72 is here for your Canada Day Long Weekend listening. The theme of this podcast is perseverance. In his feature Between the Ears co-host Zack Neufeld explains how the power of NOW can power you to the finish line of your next event.

Guest Jen Burns is doing Ironman Canada in Whistler on July 28. She is confident about finishing because her training is going well and she is well-equipped to overcome adversity. Listen here to how she persevered in her Victoria 70.3 race when her nutrition plan suffered a setback.

The “meat” of this week’s podcast is that speedy ex-Chilliwackian now turned Vancouver Islander, Robert Johnson. Robert was our guest a few months back and has returned to tell us how his tri-season has been going so far. With a win at Westwood Lake, I’d have to say, pretty darn good!

Coming up this Saturday (June 22) is the 3rd annual Positive Spin Cycle promoting mental health. Our Fitspeek Team will be out there with Kevin Watt serving as organizer, shepherd, cheerleader, and photographer. Kevin Heinze will serve as some sort of comedy relief on the 200 K ride.

Even though on-line registration has closed, you can still be part of the event. KW just told me that registration will be available at the event site (Old Yale Brewing, in Chilliwack). Two words of advice BRING CASH! It’ll cost you $60.00 if you have a Cycling BC License & an extra $10.00 if you don’t. Of course you’ll want to have a few twenties in your wallet to enjoy some of the post-ride food and beverages. By riding in the event, you’ll also be entered to win a free entry into the upcoming Prospera Fraser Valley Granfondo.

Coming this week to Fitspeek, your chance to win our final free entry to the Prospera Fraser Valley Granfondo on Saturday July 20th.

DC Cycling’s first year pro from Chilliwack, Thomas Schellenberg is on the road and learning about life as a pro. Earlier this year he was racing in Arkansas, most recently in North Carolina, but our feature interview focuses on the time he spent at a high altitude training camp, as he puts it “somewhere in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico.”

Thomas tells us about his adventures on the road including his encounters with the wildlife of the American Southwest. You can hear all about that plus his reflections on the race he did down there, called the Tour of the Gila.

In addition to Thomas, we have the return of Zack Neufeld, in this week’s Between The Ears we hear more about the powerful effects that music can have on your training & racing. 20 minutes of inspirational Fitspeek floods your ears by pressing play below.

If you are new to endurance sports you may have never heard of intervals but I’ll bet you have. Maybe, however, you think that all there is to intervals is burying yourself for a minute or two, recovering, and then doing it over and over and over, until you pass out or the police are called… well those are intervals but there is more to interval training than just that high-end V02 max stuff. For example there are cognition intervals. If you’ve never heard of them, you may be in for a pleasant surprise.

The Obst family from Vancouver have no doubt done their intervals, as well as eaten their Wheaties, and done everything else right. That’s because this husband & wife team out of Vancouver both won the overall male and female titles at this weekend’s gravel fondo in Port Coquitlam. We have your other winners from the event as well.

Also in Fitspeek 69 we have our second part of the interview with our local titans of triathlon, Derek Duval and Will Rogers. These guys have been around the multisport scene for decades and today you can hear about their advancements in race-day nutrition as well as their most challenging moments in the sport. Here it all by pressing play below.

When you are ready to toe the line of your first big event, whether that’s a 110 KM gravel fondo, a 10 KM ultra swim, or a half-ironman distance triathlon, Tri*Joy is here to help you out.
