Episode 319 - Hilary Topper - Author - From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete

“I really changed my life a lot…I was doing all the bad things…drinking, smoking cigarettes…I felt if I could do it, anyone could do it! You are never too old, too overweight…” 

-Hilary Topper, Author of From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete.

What does it mean to be an athlete? For author Hilary Topper who never considered herself an athlete, turning 48 was the beginning of an adventure she never could have predicted. Today we welcome Hilary to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast from her home in Long Island to share her journey from “couch potato” to endurance athlete. After realizing she had to make a change in her unhealthy lifestyle, Hilary is here to discuss how she went about hiring a trainer, finding some accountability partners, joining some training groups, and embracing her new life. Hilary also dispels the myths surrounding the ability to be an “endurance athlete,” even if you have never competed in sports before. Now, she is using her experiences to inspire others that “anyone can do it” through her book, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. Learn more about Hilary, grab the book, or read her very witty and inspiring blogs by heading to her Instagram page and Linktree @hilarytopper. This may just be the motivation you need to unleash your inner athlete and make huge changes in your life! 

Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!

Episode 177 - Jeff Kline - Owner/Founder -Team PRS Fit, Endurance Athlete, Running and Triathlete Coach, Author and Cancer Survivor

“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!
