Episode 299 – Fit Crazie 2023 BOSTON MARATHON Rundown!

There is nothing better than being in the city of Boston on Patriot’s Day!

If you are tuning in today, Christine and Brian recount their experiences racing one of the greatest yet most grueling courses in the world. Find out Brian’s secrets to crushing this iconic marathon and run a sub three-hour race. Then, listen up as Christine talks about why you need to run on behalf of a charity (like the Alzheimer’s Association that she runs with each year), how you don’t need to complete long training runs, how you can take bathroom breaks, and most importantly, you can run fast times and feel good! If you want to hear the ins and outs of the Boston Marathon course from those who know and love it best, this episode is for you! Expect to laugh and learn a thing or two from the “fit crazies!”

Keep Chasing Unicorns!

Episode 292 - Debbie Bellenger - Consultant/Educator/Presenter/Wellness Advocate/Program Developer

“I ground myself in my desire to help people…My greatest attribute is my heart.”

“…redefine the role of a fitness professional to a wellness professional…we are the solution…”

Welcome to yet another EPIC episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast with special guest and fitness icon, Debbie Bellenger! This Ontario native relocated to the United States in the 90’s and spent the last few decades working in various cities researching and collaborating with medical professionals while serving as a health and wellness director for health clubs, gyms, hospitals, medical fitness facilities and corporations. Today, Debbie is here to open the dialogue about the importance of shifting the role of the “fitness professional to a wellness professional.” After decades of experience in the fitness industry developing wellness programs alongside physicians, orthopedics, and dieticians, Debbie believes the fitness industry is “missing the mark.” Listen closely as she explains why there is a dire need for qualified and passionate wellness professionals, and how it is up to us to rise to the occasion. This episode might just be the “call to action” that you have been waiting for!
