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 204 of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, the Two Fit Crazies are joined by a 7x World Champion and 6x World Record holder by the name of Aaron Yoder. Joining the show from Lindsborg, Kansas, where he current serves as the head track coach for Bethany College, Aaron is moving forward in life by going backwards. Aaron shares his story of what it was like to be a decorated runner in high school and college, only to be sidelined in his early twenties by what should have been a career-ending injury. Saying that Aaron made lemonade, or as I say, Lemon Martinis, out of lemons, is an understatement. After experimenting with backwards running on his home treadmill as a teenager, Aaron realized that this was “his calling” and HE WAS GOOD! In fact, Aaron reveals his secrets to “retro” running and what inspired him to set Guinness World Records and compete at 7 World Championships. You are bound to be impressed with Aaron not only for his incredible work ethic and ability to run 5-minute miles in reverse, but also for his desire to serve and inspire others as a collegiate coach. In fact, on Sunday, you can even find Aaron delivering sermons at his local church. Does this sound too good to be true? If, so, do yourself a favor and Google Aaron Yoder and watch him in action! He will not disappoint!

 

Stay Crazie!
