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!

 

Stay Healthy! Stay Crazie!

“At an early age in my fitness career, I was ingrained with the importance of customer service...put people first and the profits will come.” - Hank Ebeling IV

From the Venetian to Equinox Sports Clubs, Hank recalls how a simple handshake, a welcoming remark, remembering someone’s favorite sports team, or what they prefer in their coffee can make the difference between a fleeting client and a life-long membership. In the last decade, Hank continued to educate himself about the power of growing a business with a focus on stellar customer experience alongside fitness legends such as Rick Mayo, Todd Durkin, Allan Cosgrove, Mike Boyle and more. In 2013, Hank founded and opened the doors to H4 Training, a small group training facility just west of Chicago.
