Fitspeek 83: Ryan ShephArd – Ultra Runner

Fitness comes in all shapes and forms & Fitspeek 83 with Ryan Shepherd is proof of that. After gaining a bunch of weight in his early adult years, Ryan decided to try running to improve the quality of his life. . It worked! Although his first few races were very pedestrian, through consistent training and pushing his limits Ryan developed into one of the Fraser Valley’s most accomplished trail runners. Hear about his journey from the couch to the start line and to the medical tent on this week’s podcast.

As well, are you one of those folks who just – can’t – take – a compliment? In this week’s Between the Ears, Zack Neufeld tells you about why you need to get your mind right & accept them.

Also on Fitspeek 83 we have our second edition of our brand new feature on the podcast, Mikey Ross shares his top five motivators while he is racing. Hear it all by pressing play below.

This Saturday Martin has his sights set on the Ironman World Championship age group title for the 40-44 division.

Ain’T No Mountain High Enough: Fitspeek 80 with Benoit Gignac

Fitspeek is brought to you by Tri*Joy your local multisport coaches.

With the Valley Vertikiller on the way we thought we’d turn our thoughts upward and into the sky. Fortunately, we have elite mountain runner Benoit Gignac to keep us from getting oxygen-deprived. Benoit is originally from La Belle Province, but like his friend Martin Caron, moved Westward in search of adventure and good times .

In Fitspeek 80 we speak with Benoit about his transition from being a goalie in hockey to being one of Canada’s finest mountain runners. He’s been to the world championships a couple of times and has some great race stories and training advice for those of us brave enough to take on the wildness of that sport.

Which one hasn’t been on Fitspeek yet? Hmmm just maybe!

Also on this week’s show, we have a new segment called Mikey’s Top Five. Mikey Ross is a local triathlon coach and a provincial triathlon legend, dominating age group podiums around the province for over a decade. We’ve harnessed a portion of this indefatigable dude and are happy to be sharing him with you. Listen for his segment near the 30 minute mark of the podcast.

To round out the podcast, Zack Neufeld is back with Between the Ears. Zack has a lesson for us, courtesy of world time trial champion Rohan Dennis. When you put away the unimportant stuff & focus on what is truly important, a good result can follow. Follow your hand to push that play button to get in on 45 minutes of Fraser Valley sunshine…..
