Fitspeek 97: Joanna Brown Looks at Tokyo 2021

As we continue our Fitspeek series called The Olympians, we are in conversation with Joanna Brown. Tokyo 2021 will be her first ever Olympic Games. In the meantime, she is in self-quarantine in her parent’s basement (sound familiar) in Carp, Ontario.

Joanna had an amazing start to her season this year, with a win at a non-drafting triathlon in Australia. In our half hour chat we find out how she is investing her time while at home. Fellow Zwifters, look out!

We also talk about the role of sponsors for her and other elite athletes.

To wrap up the program we have another Between The Ears segment. This week, Dr. Elise Reeh offers some advice on how to deal with our current reality from a psychological perspective by preventing Hamster Brain.

Fitspeek 95: Stefan Daniel

With the postponement of the Summer Olympics, we decided to check in with what the members of our Olympic Triathlon team were up to and how they were dealing with the news.

First up on our series that I’m calling “The Olympians,” is Calgary’s Stefan Daniel. In addition to being a star runner on the University of Calgary’s cross country team, he is also a business major at the U of C. Oh yeah, he’s also a 4 – time World Paratriathlon gold medalist.

At 23 years of age, Stefan was poised to take on the world at the 2020 Summer Games. I asked him how he felt about the setback. His response will impress you. Hear the whole interview now by pressing that play button below.
