Matt Sissman talks about his training for the Leadville 100, and the experience

January 17, 2010 by Shelli

Typically I use this “fitness” space to share my progress, challenges and goals.
This time I have a special treat, though: A video blog of a conversation I just had with Elemental Training athlete Matt Sissman, of Lander, WY, who last August completed the Leadville 100, a 100-mile, high altitude trail race. He was kind enough to share his thoughts with me about the experience – not only the event, but the training that led to it, and the instrumental and meaningful role his family and friends played in it. The video is 42 minutes long. I find Matt’s experience is inspiring, and hope you enjoy listening in on the conversation.

Elemental Gym has a fantastic gym, some terrific programs and classes that will help you achieve better fitness. And, I might add, some great personal trainers: Steve Bechtel, Ellen Bechtel, Jagoe Reid, and Sophie Mosemann.

About Shelli

Hi. My name is Shelli Johnson. I live on the frontier in Lander, Wyoming. I’m a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, certified life/leadership coach, wellness coach, keynote presenter and inspired speaker, leadership development facilitator, personal development strategist, writer and adventure guide. This blog mostly includes stories about adventures and travel, but other passions are reading/books, technology, fitness, nutrition, and national parks, so you’ll find a wide range of articles here. I am founder of Yellowstone Journal and YellowstonePark.com, and NationalParkTrips.com, which was my first business. My current company, Epic Life Inc., is in its 7th year, and going gangbusters. If you’re interested in learning more about my current work, I hope you’ll jump over there and learn more about that. I have a more personal blog, more directly related to life and living and leadership, at YourEpicLife.com/blog. I’d love it if you’d also check out that collection of my writings. Thank you for stopping by! Finally, if you’d like to connect with me directly, please email me if you’d like to connect.
