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!

“I am thrilled that education has grown…I love being able to be super inclusive and body positive.”

“The pandemic has allowed us more freedom and opportunities for collaboration.” -Elizabeth Lenart

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Two Fit Crazies and Microphone Podcast where Brian and Christine are hosting this amazing show from separate locations. While the two crazies are temporarily quarantined from one another, it will not stop them from conducting an amazing interview with a super talented, smart, and beautiful international fitness educator by the name of Elizabeth Lenart. Joining the show from Massachusetts, Elizabeth talks about what “fires her up” and how she was able to thrive in the fitness industry despite a world-wide pandemic. Listen carefully as Elizabeth reveals how she was able to overcome a massive spinal fusion at the age of 13 that left her with two metal rods in her spine. What would appear to be an extreme obstacle for so many, Elizabeth realized that this was a great experience that would help ignite her passion for movement and turn it into a successful career. With a degree in guidance and counselling, along with decades of experience educating, writing programs, presenting, and speaking at fitness conferences around-the-globe, Elizabeth Lenart is changing lives with her messages of inclusivity and body positivity. If you have yet to experience this rock star instructor live via ZOOM or in person, you are missing out! If you want more of Elizabeth, check out one of her Balletone® classes, trainings, workshops, or follow her on social media!
