002 – Peter Park: Elite Trainer & Endurance Athlete

By Greg Finch

podcast

This week’s conversation is with Peter Park, owner of Platinum Fitness in Santa Barbara, California and an elite trainer for over 2 decades.

Peter has trained the best of the best — Lance Armstrong, pro surfers Kelly Slater, Lakey Peterson, and Major League Baseball stars Giancarlo Stanton and Justin Verlander to name just a few.

His personal ultra endurance achievements include 3 time winner of the “World’s Toughest Triathlon”, current record holder for the Catalina 50 Mile Ultra Marathon, and numerous Hawaii Ironman Triathlons.

We discuss his work ethic, how it helped make him successful and why it’s also what makes a balanced life difficult.

  • How working with Lance Armstrong was like a PHD in aerobic endurance training.
  • Peter lays out a plan to get you ready to get everything out of your next surf trip.
  • Here’s our conversation with Peter Park
