Fitspeek 223: Queen of the Mountains (and More) — Deb Parker.

Like many of us in the endurance sports world, Deb didn’t grow up as a typical high school jock.

In fact, back in Creston, her parents didn’t encourage sports at all — but they were big on yardwork. Weeding the garden? Absolutely. Signing up for track and field? Not so much.

After high school, Deb explored running and cycling — more for fun than competition. But where she truly stood out was in powerlifting, setting nothing less than a Canadian record.

Tune in to hear about Deb’s journey: from reluctant runner, to triathlete, to one of the top age-group cyclists on the international stage. Hit play below to hear her inspiring story.

Fitspeek 172 Susie + Mikey

This week we have 30 minutes of information + inspiration to keep you motivated through our Canadian winter. First off on the show is Susie Ernsting. After a few years of cancelled races due to Covid, Susie finally got to experience what it was like to be the race director of Ironmman Canada.

Being any race director is not for the feint of heart and being the race director of the most anticipated race in years is even moreso. Susie has some interesting behind the scenes stories from the event. She also lets us know about next year’s bike course as well as what other things are brewing in the M1 Sports Management camp.

Also on the show is ATC Coach Mikey Ross. We are excited about his new series the 3 Rs. As endurance athletes, we are pretty addicted to going hard. In this week’s segment, Mikey explains not only the physical but the psychological benefits of interval training. The Susie + Mikey show starts with the press of the button below.
