I was first introduced to triathlon in 1993 when I volunteered at the Ironman Canada finish line. \u00a0 <\/span>Going into that day I would have no idea how triathlon would become weaved into my fabric.\u00a0 <\/span>I went on to set Age Group records and then on to a professional career where I won Three IM titles and achieved a personal best 4th<\/sup><\/span> placing at the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. \u00a0However the biggest influence on me has been when I transitioned from racer to coach and was given the privilege to work with an array of individuals on their triathlon journey. \u00a0<\/p>\n For over 15years I was a facilator for Traithlon BC and Triathlon Canada for their community coaching course for over 15 years.\u00a0 Community is where my passion lies. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I am a certified Yoga Instructor as well as I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. For over 25+ years I have used both to provide athletes a balanced approach to Racing and Training.<\/span><\/p>\n I have currently moved back to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island after spending the past 20years in the Okanagan <\/span>where \u00a0Endurance Health and Fitness started back in 2006.<\/span> I grew up in the Comox Valley and I am looking forward to seeing where and how EHF coaching grows into this community. \u00a0Currently Mel is working at Cumberland Frontrunners Saturdays and Sundays so if you are in the area come by and say HI!<\/p>\n <\/span>I look forward to share my knowledge, the beauty of British Columbia and other areas with you as you pursue your endurance goals.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”mailto:melspooner@shaw.ca?subject=I%20am%20interested%20in%20Getting%20Started” button_text=”Get Started” module_id=”Pay” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”#B3B3B3″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”2px” button_font=”Montserrat|700||on|||||” button_icon=”$||divi||400″ background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”|||60px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”15px|40px|15px|40px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_7333-e1665519844381.jpeg” title_text=”IMG_7333″ show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_margin_tablet=”50px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" About Mel I was first introduced to triathlon in 1993 when I volunteered at the Ironman Canada finish line. \u00a0 Going into that day I would have no idea how triathlon would become weaved into my fabric.\u00a0 I went on to set Age Group records and then on to a professional career where I won […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-399","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1101,"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/399\/revisions\/1101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehfcoaching.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
