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!

In Episode 197 of the Two Fit Crazies & A Microphone Podcast, Kerry Sullivan and Chan Gannaway light up the microphones with their infectious energy and love for all thing’s fitness! Joining the show from Melbourne, Florida, this powerful (and newly engaged) fitness duo shares some amazing insights from a combined 50 years of experience in the industry. After a run-down of the “state of the state” in Florida, Kerry and Chan discuss how they were able to remain steadfast and creative in the midst of a fitness professionals’ worst nightmare. Chan, who left the insurance business to follow his passion for fitness, shares his story of working at some of the top gyms around the country to receiving a phone call from Ellan Latham, the founder of Orangetheory Fitness, and accepting the role as founding fitness director. Not to be outshined, Kerry, an accomplished program coordinator, fitness professional, educator and Master PILOXING trainer, discusses how she and Chan were able to use the pandemic to hone in on “passion projects” and channel their creativity to prepare for the future. As the founders of Masters Fitness, intelligent fitness and fitness programming for the 40+ client, they have no intention of slowing down. With an impending wedding, the launch of the Masters Fitness Podcast, the Masters Fitness Company, and more, it is no wonder that these two work with Pitbull and Tony Robbins.
The energy is real and the Masters Fitness is “where it’s at!”
