Fitspeek 98: Report From Barcelona with Ramon Lopez Mendizabal

Ramon Lopez-Mendizabal is a civil engineer and an elite ultra-endurance triathlete from Barcelona, Spain. As you know that iconic Spanish city is one of the places hardest hit by the Covid-19 virus.

In Fitspeek 98, we speak with Ramon about how he & his wife are leading their day to day lives while living under the restrictions placed on them in that European country. One of the answers for Ramon is buying a treadmill and then running a marathon on it for three consecutive days . He’s also putting in some very impressive hours on the trainer. (old school style, no Rouvey, no Zwift).

In addition to our interview with Ramon, we get an update all the way from Port Coquitlam. Kevin Watt tells us about his experiences on the trails there and how his day job is largely unaffected by this health crisis.

Hanging out with the usual suspects by the Big Peach. Last Sunday in August, 2018.

To round off the program Zack Neufeld is back with another Between the Ears segment. Zack gives us some advice on how to set realistic goals and maintain our motivation during these challenging days. Hear it all now by pressing that button below.
