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…..
