Going short to get faster: Fitspeek 79 with Winston Guo

In Fitspeek 79 we hear the second part of our interview with Winston Guo. He tells us about his progression as an athlete through stages he likes to call Winston 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. We also get to find out about his favourite post-workout foods!

Also in the podcast we have another edition of Fit Flops. We tell you about a piece of exercise equipment that would likely get thrown out of your local coffee shop! What could it be?

Zen & The Art of Tri: Winston Guo – Fitspeek 78

Triathlon Magazine Canada voted this guy “most likely to be seen smiling during a triathlon.”

Ok, ok, maybe that part is a bit of an exaggeration but if you have ever been to a race of any distance out here in Western Canada, you are likely to have seen this guy. And of course he was probably smiling.

Like many of us, Vancouver’s Winston Guo wasn’t too sure how to approach his first triathlon. He did however, as he puts it earn “major style points” for his baggy shorts and crosstrainers.

Since that day at UBC, many many years ago, he’s been steadily improving. Unlike many athletes though, Winston, after having great success at longer distance events, had decided to concentrate on the sprint in order to continue his evolution as an athlete.

In Fitspeek 78, you will hear part one of our interview with Winston. You’ll hear him recount his early days as a runner and his development into Winston 2.0.

Also in the program, Zack Neufeld will help you push through the pain and achieve new levels of physical awesomeness in his latest edition of Between the Ears.

And after being away from each other for the summer Kevin Watt, Zack, & myself catch up with each other and the events happening in the Fraser Valley with the roundtable.

45 minutes of grinning goodness all begins by pressing play on the little button below.

If you want to experience the joy of crossing the finish line for the first time, or fastest time, Tri*Joy can help. We offer a low client to coach ratio ensuring that you get the attention you deserve to achieve your potential.

An Audience with the (Steve) King: Fitspeek 77

There’s few people in Canadian Triathlon that are as well known as Penticton’s Steve King. He’s right up there with Lori Bowden, Simon Whitfield, Lisa Bentley, and Peter Reid.

Of course most people will recognize Steve King’s voice from the finish line of the Granfondo Axel Merckx, Vancouver Marathon, and Ironman Canada from the 1980s to the 2000s but there is a whole lot more to this man than just the voice!

At age 70, Steve King keeps a schedule that would tax most folks half his age. In addition to keeping up his ambitious announcing duties, he holds a day job as an addictions counselor and a night job as an aspiring rock star. In Fitspeek’s feature interview, we speak with Steve King about how he fell into the role as a race announcer, his views on Canada’s “Golden Age of Triathlon” and of course what the return of the Ironman to Penticton means to him. Hear that interview, plus our Fit Tip of the Week on how to improve your short-term memory by pressing play below:
