Welcome back to the proverbial couch! This episode is done in collaboration with Driftwood Athletics. ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE This week, I am joined by Alnoor Mawji, also known as Flash. We have formerly trained together out of Studeo55 in Vancouver, BC and besides my coach, he was the first person I met when I started going there. A fellow fitness nerd like myself, we've bonded over our shared love of coffee, funky socks and lifting heavy things and overall functional fitness. Join us in Part 1 of a 3 part series as we discuss the increase in women visibly within strength based sport (CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting with the explosion of social media), the disparity between the various tools given to competing athletes and how his perspective has changed since becoming a father. Thanks Al for joining me on this enlightening conversation! Stay tuned for Part 2 where we will dive deeper into that change of perspective as well as explore how cultural diversity and race can play a role in both inclusion and visibility within strength sports. To learn more about Alnoor and see what he gets up to, you can follow him on: Instagram: @flashmawji @driftwoodathletics When it's pandemic safe enough for me to come back, we will WOD and coffee and podcast!
