AF 102: Former Competitive Hockey Player turned Running Coach Alpha Female Hilary Spires

Hilary Spires is a former corporate sales manger turned
entrepreneur. She’s combined her passion for business and fitness
and jumped into her own venture full time. She is currently
splitting her time between her online running coach business
Rugged Conditioning and as a personal trainer in a local studio
in Western Canada.


She strives to spread her love of movement to as many people
as possible. Her specialty lies in helping people achieve bucket
list goals they didn’t they could. She loves every aspect of
coaching people to conquer their first race, but specifically the
physical and mental toughness needed to get through the big
endurance events. Her athletic career includes playing hockey for
for the NWHL and the NCAA. Since leaving the competitive hockey
world she discovered running and racing and has participated in
countless road and trail races including a 100 mile run and the
Ironman triathlon. In 2017 she also created a charity event
and raised over $11 000 for Kidsport in a few months by
committing to run 160km over a mountain in under 24
hours. She’s also regained the childlike wonder of trying
new sports and has competed in a few kickboxing fights and jiu
jitsu tournaments.
