The Usual Place, the Usual Suspects. Ironman Returns to Penticton.

What better way to welcome back the Ironman Canada Triathlon to Penticton than a fun-filled interview with local legend Jeff Symonds.

In his 2 decades-long career in the sport, Jeff has enjoyed success at both the national and international levels and has motivated and inspired a new generation of Canadian endurance sports athletes.

In the podcast, our 1st as a partner with A Squared Bikes, we chat about his race week preparation, his motivation to do this race, as well as some unfinished business that he has in the sport. 45 minutes of non-stop smiles begin with the press of that button below.

Tinley Talks 2022

Once upon a time, there was a kid from California who didn’t really fit in well with the “stick and ball” sports that seemed to dominate the high school sports scene.

Like many of you, he found running to be more of his thing. And like many of you who tune in to these podcasts, he got pretty good at it. And just like you, he also started cycling and swimming. Maybe unlike you though, he was able to avoid having a real job for decades as he lived off the avails of a new sport called triathlon. Not only did he win some prize money, he also became one of our sport’s first “personalities” with a regular magazine column and his own line of sportswear.

This week on the show we spend a half hour with triathlon pioneer and legend, Scott Tinley. We Fitspeek about his transition from jock to egghead and from competitor to grandfather. And yes, we also have drinking stories!

And if that’s not enough, we also serve up a hot dish of training advice on Mikey’s Top Five. With more weeks of 30 degree plus temperatures in the forecast, Mikey has a way (5 of them!) of coping with training in the heat. Dive into the latest Fitspeek by pressing play below.

And the size of those early heart rate monitors, I swear… like toasters.

Coming soon to Fitspeek

The phrase, “win on Sunday, sell on Monday” originally came from the car industry but these guys gave it a triathlon connection. Back in the 1980s and 1990s both of them were not only battling each other for the top of the podium but having their own lines of performance clothing meant the sales race was also on during the week.

And although these 2 were never rivals (as Dave Scott was with Mark Allen) they were competitors. Nowadays their relationship is much more sociable. Tune in now to a snippet of the upcoming interview with Dr. ST.
