Fitspeek Christmas Edition (#87) Featuring Dean Scherbey, Jen Burns, & the rest of the Fitspeek gang.

What better way to segue into the festive season than with some stories of motivation & gratitude. Fitspeek 87 is here and our main course is a heaping helping of the Ironman roundtable. Over the past year, Abbotsford’s Jen Burns has been in training for the Whistler Ironman triathlon. On the program we hear about how Jen’s big day went.

In addition to Jen, we also have another first time Ironman finisher on the show. After suffering a heart attack at a much-too-young age, Chilliwack’s Dean Scherbey decided to make a few changes in his life. You can hear Dean’s inspirational story, as he tells it to our panel of Ironman veterans including Zack Neufeld, Kevin Watt, Brent Ziefflie, and Leigh Ann Parker.

Hip Trimmer

Our Christmas edition of Fitspeek also has our three regular features. If you are wondering what that bizarre device in the above picture you’ll have to listen to my Fit Flops feature, as I investigate that antiquated yet ineffective piece of fitness equipment called the waist trimmer belt.

In his Top Five List Fitspeek’s Mikey Ross tells you about a truly effective training device – the venerable treadmill. Mikey has a few tricks up his sleeve to freshen up your winter running routine. And to end off the program, Zack is back with Between the Ears. He examines how becoming a father has propelled American triathlete Ben Hoffman to some impressive performances this year. Hear the whole show by pressing play below.

Coming soon to Fitspeek: Ironvegins Roundtable

All smiles here, now that it’s all over

What better way to get into the New Year’s spirit by reminiscing about some of our big athletic accomplishments of the year. For the past year, we have been tracking the progress of Abbotsford’s Jen Burns. Her main goal for the year was to finish her very first Ironman triathlon. Well, she succeeded in a big way. We’ve invited Jen back to Fitspeek to chat about her voyage to the start line, her journey to the finish line, and the lessons that she has learned along the way.

The pre-Iron Jen

Joining Jen on the podcast will be fellow Iron-Virgin Dean Scherby, along with our cast of veterans including Mikey Ross, Kevin Watt, Leigh-Ann Parker, and Zack Neufeld. They will be all doing their best to extract pearls of wisdom from Jen’s (and Dean’s) first ever Ironman.

One year later, one lifetime wiser, doing an Ironman will do that to ya!

Also in our mega podcast, Zack will be back and telling us how to up our game with another edition of Between the Ears and Mikey Ross has another top five list. Be listening next week for the big show!
