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.

In this episode, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by an amazingly inspirational endurance athlete and coach by the name of Jeffrey Kline.

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!

Episode 81 – Bart Yasso - The Mayor of Running

“Never limit where running can take you.” Bart Yasso

In Episode 81, the Two Fit Crazies had the honor of speaking with the great Bart Yasso. Affectionately known as the “Mayor of Running”, Bart goes deep into his journey and life in running. Recently retired after 21 years at Runner’s World where he held the title of Chief Running Officer, Bart takes us from his first run in “cutoff jeans and a Budweiser t-shirt” to the “world’s toughest footrace” through Death Valley to a 5k in a nudist colony. And an interview with Bart would never be complete without getting the lowdown on the famous workout created by and named for him – the Yasso 800s, stating that “There isn’t a day that someone doesn’t mention Yasso 800’s.”

Bart is an incredibly genuine person with a passion for running and life. It felt like we were old friends catching up after some time apart. An inspiration to all that cross his path, we hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Yours in Fitness (and running),

Brian and Christine – The Two Fit Crazies

Marvin Towler - Trainer/Speaker/Instigator/Athlete - Episode 28

“Growing up, “instigator” always had a negative connotation…

…So I looked up what it means. And it’s someone who stirs the pot in a good way; and instigates change.” ~ Marvin Towler
