“What I didn’t realize was…I was the problem.”

“Running transformed my treatment…the best medicine never prescribed…it helped me emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually…” -Shawn Livingston

 

It’s time for a little redemption! In today’s episode, the Two Fit Crazies welcomed an amazing guest to the show by the name of Shawn Livingston! Zooming in from Texas, Shawn is here to share his remarkable story of resilience and redemption while traveling down the road from addiction to recovery through the power of running! Get ready to be inspired by this former member of the AirForce who barely escaped a possible twenty-year prison sentence before coming to grips with the reality that “he was the problem.” Today, Shawn Livingston not only celebrates 7-years of sobriety, but also his popular podcast, his budding speaking career, and a Netflix documentary called “100 Miles to Redemption,” a tale of both the mental and physical redemption that took place during his first 100-mile running race. According to Shawn, running will transform you, and the Two Fit Crazies couldn’t agree more! So, get moving!

Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast - Episode 275

Episode 275 - Chrissy Horan - Freelance Writer and Running Enthusiast 

“For me, running became a kind of game…I ran to the next bridge….then the next…” “My favorite part of the Boston Marathon…it sends the tingle up your spine.” 

“...I first started writing a blog…but I love writing human interest stories…” Chrissy Horan  

 

In today’s episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, let’s welcome running enthusiast and freelance writer, Chrissy Horan. Chrissy, a Long Island native, who also happens to be Christine’s childhood volleyball teammate, is here to share how her unexpected love for running led her to become an experienced marathon runner, volunteer, fundraiser and freelance writer. Chrissy, a former obesity researcher, claims to have always “dreaded running” until she moved to Boston in 2000 and began running along the historic Charles River. For Chrissy, her competitive nature enabled her to turn her running into “a kind of game,” running just a little farther each run. Fast forward, Chrissy Horan has established herself as a runner who not only takes pride in raising funds and awareness for charities such as the Alzheimer’s Association, but also writing about current research and human interest stories related to the sport. Chrissy’s articles have been featured in Runner’s World, the Boston Globe, Women’s Running and Boston.com. In fact, she even wrote an amazing evidence-based article shedding light on the benefits of running to fight Rheumatoid Arthritis that featured a cameo by one of the “Fit

Crazies.” Learn more about Chrissy Horan and read her latest blogs and articles at www.ChrissyHoran.com.

Christine Runs 100 Miles! - Episode 231

Episode 231 - Christine Runs 100 Miles!

“To finish a 100 mile race, it’s not about physical toughness…it’s about mental toughness and

mindset.”

“There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not finish…the key was to find a wolfpack and stick together…we promised each other we would all finish.” - Christine

 

What must it be like to run 100 miles? In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies bring you the long-awaited recap of the C and O Canal 100 Mile Race! Sit back and take in all the craziness as Brian asks Christine how she got her hands on one of the most coveted prizes in the ultra-endurance world, a finishers belt buckle. Listen up as Christine dishes out the wild details of what goes into completing an ultra-endurance race. From gathering a loyal crew, eating a pound of bacon, climbing muddy cliffs in pitch black pouring rain, to spotting black bear cubs and dealing with hallucinations, you will want to run out and sign up for the next ultra-event near you. That may be a bit of a lie after you hear about the toenail casualties and the fact that over half of the athletes that showed up at the starting line never finished. Also, hear a huge shout out to Angel Bob, Dr. Mindy, Shannon, and Marley the Puppy for being the best crew in the world, and of course Mike Conti! Wait until you hear about how Christine’s husband stepped up in the middle of a cold rainy night to pace her in for the last 30 miles. That goodness for old school rap music!

 

If you forgot why this podcast is called the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone, prepare to be reminded! Now go out and do something fit crazie!

Joining the show from Lindsborg, Kansas, where he current serves as the head track coach for Bethany College, Aaron is moving forward in life by going backwards. Aaron shares his story of what it was like to be a decorated runner in high school and college, only to be sidelined in his early twenties by what should have been a career-ending injury. Saying that Aaron made lemonade, or as I say, Lemon Martinis, out of lemons, is an understatement. After experimenting with backwards running on his home treadmill as a teenager, Aaron realized that this was “his calling” and HE WAS GOOD! In fact, Aaron reveals his secrets to “retro” running and what inspired him to set Guinness World Records and compete at 7 World Championships. You are bound to be impressed with Aaron not only for his incredible work ethic and ability to run 5-minute miles in reverse, but also for his desire to serve and inspire others as a collegiate coach. In fact, on Sunday, you can even find Aaron delivering sermons at his local church. Does this sound too good to be true? If, so, do yourself a favor and Google Aaron Yoder and watch him in action! He will not disappoint!

In Episode 186, the Two Fit Crazies welcome THE Peter Twist, who is joining the show from his home in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. If you have yet to hear of the amazing Peter Twist, you are in for a HUGE treat! Peter, or Coach Twist, shares his story of growing up in Canada, falling in love with team sports at an early age, and becoming the very first strength and conditioning coach for the NHL. From hockey, to baseball, to tennis, to football, to mountain biking, to skiing, to ocean kayaking, to trail running, Peter was always fascinated with movement. However, after attaining a master’s degree in coaching science, he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a head coach of a sports team, but that he wanted to be a strength and conditioning coach to mold athletes through developing their speed, agility, strength, balance, flexibility and more. Peter was a visionary when it came to understanding the importance of plyometrics and functional exercise to improve the “whole” athlete. Peter discusses the process of turning his dreams into a reality through his determination and mindset practices that not only landed him the job as the first NHL strength and conditioning coach, but also a “cancer crusher.” It is no wonder that Peter Twist is a highly coveted world-renowned speaker whose resilience and passion for changing lives is unparalleled. Be on the lookout for Peter Twist’s upcoming books and continuing education courses! He may just convince you to “get out of your own mind and into your heart….and that the best form of wealth is being enriched.”

Enjoy! -Two Fit Crazies

“I don’t believe in falling into the negative in anything I do.”

“It’s all about attitude...you can’t have a positive life with a negative attitude.” - Jeff Kline

In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by an amazingly inspirational endurance athlete and coach by the name of Jeffrey Kline. Joining the show from Montauk Point, New York, Jeff is able to squeeze in a quick interview with the Fit Crazies between training athletes both in person, at a safe distance, and from around the US and beyond. Originally from the Philadelphia area, Jeff spent many years in Boulder, Colorado before heading to Portland, Oregon. Jeff’s change of scenery and change of career eventually led him to find his calling as an endurance coach. He turned his passion into a career developing his running and tri programs around the teachings of the great Arthur Lydiard and working with The Training Bible, now known as Training Peaks, for Joe Friel.

As the founder of Team PRS Fit, Jeff finds immense joy in developing specialized training plans to help athletes of all levels reach their full potential. In addition, Jeff’s positive outlook and zest for life is apparent as you will hear when he shares his personal story with battling cancer. Jeff Kline is a true inspiration! He has run across the USA, he has completed 12-hour treadmill challenges, and he has only just begun! Listen as Jeff drops details of his next excursion, a (virtual) treadmill run across the United States!

Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner - Episode 176

Episode 176 - Logan Muller - 2020 Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast Scholarship Award Winner

“I was only 14-years-old, and I was not like other kids...I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis...I had to rely on medicine…I was not going to give up.”

“...exercise and eating better makes me feel good.” - Logan Muller (18-years-old & Rheumatoid arthritis WARRIOR!)

This episode of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast is very special. Today, you will hear from Logan Muller, who is joined by her mother Linda Muller, for an in-studio interview that will pull at your heartstrings. Logan, the recipient of the 2020 Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Scholarship, presented through the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce, shares her powerful story of perseverance and determination to overcome and triumph over her juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis as a young teenager. Logan, a super sweet, intelligent, “old-soul,” as her mother lovingly refers to her, endured years of physical and emotional obstacles and many times of uncertainty. From long trips to and from her specialists, to undergoing various chemo treatments in an attempt to put her disease into remission, Logan was able to remain focused on her schoolwork and even managed to make it to the Cheerleading World Championships three times where she earned an 11th place ranking! Logan is wise beyond her years as she proves while discussing the impact that eating a healthy diet, exercise and a positive mindset has had on her ability to reduce flare-ups and feel good. Everyone needs to take notes on this one!

Finally, the Two Fit Crazies fill in Logan on their 40-mile run for Christine’s 40th birthday to benefit her scholarship and how Logan must now continue her journey to inspire others through her story! Logan will be attending Seton Hall University this fall where she has already been accepted to a 6-year occupational therapy program.

Thank you to the Brick Township Chamber of Commerce and the Muller Family for making this episode so special.

Episode 175 - The Two Fit Crazies Reunite for a Rant

“Everyone is angry. Everyone has taken a side. Mask. No mask. Blue Lines. Equality. It’s a mess.” -Brian

“Cats and dogs, living together, it’s mass hysteria.” - Christine & Bill Murray

Every so often, the Two Fit Crazies reunite for an extra crazy show to bring all of you up to

speed on their latest acts of craziness. This episode will not disappoint as Brian attempts to

“talk Christine off the ledge” after her most recent “failure forward” and Brian goes on a rant

about the state of humanity.

First, congratulations to Logan, our second annual Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone

Podcast Scholarship winner. She is a Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior who is headed to college

to continue to inspire the world. Stay tuned for her debut on the show next month!

In addition, as the pandemic draws on, Brian and Christine get fired up over various topics such

as: mask-wearing (like why is this an option?), equality (like why doesn’t everyone want

this?), humanity (like why are people so angry?), the ocean (like why does it have to be a war

zone?) and much much more! Also, find out why Brian is talking like Andrew Dice Clay, why

Christine’s hair smells like bug repellent and where you can get a “facial down there!” Yes.
