Episode 319 - Hilary Topper - Author - From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete “I really changed my life a lot…I was doing all the bad things…drinking, smoking cigarettes…I felt if I could do it, anyone could do it! You are never too old, too overweight…” -Hilary Topper, Author of From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. What does it mean to be an athlete? For author Hilary Topper who never considered herself an athlete, turning 48 was the beginning of an adventure she never could have predicted. Today we welcome Hilary to the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast from her home in Long Island to share her journey from “couch potato” to endurance athlete. After realizing she had to make a change in her unhealthy lifestyle, Hilary is here to discuss how she went about hiring a trainer, finding some accountability partners, joining some training groups, and embracing her new life. Hilary also dispels the myths surrounding the ability to be an “endurance athlete,” even if you have never competed in sports before. Now, she is using her experiences to inspire others that “anyone can do it” through her book, From Couch Potato to Endurance Athlete: A Portrait of a Non-Athletic Triathlete. Learn more about Hilary, grab the book, or read her very witty and inspiring blogs by heading to her Instagram page and Linktree @hilarytopper. This may just be the motivation you need to unleash your inner athlete and make huge changes in your life! Stay Fit! Stay Crazie!
