This week I am joined by Canadian Olympian and 2:08 Marathoner Ben Preisner. Ben is a highly accomplished runner and I really enjoyed chatting to home about his running journey and the lessons and insights he has learned along the way. We chat about training through Covid, Solo 2:15's, His Tokyo Olympic experience and his chase for Paris. Ben is a smart guy with a lot of valuable take aways. I hope you enjoy the chat!
Oh, and then Shan and I chat about our training weeks.

This week, I’m joined by my friend Matt James, a guy with a lot on his plate! (pun intended) We dive into his journey from collegiate football to his ongoing quest to break the 3:00 mark at the New York City Marathon. Along the way, we chat about his love for cookies, the rookie mistakes he’s made as a marathoner, and how his passion for the sport has grown not only through his successes but through his setbacks as well. I really enjoyed this chat and I hope you do to.
Oh, and after my chat with Matt stick around for training talks w/ Shanimal.

This week we catch up with Justin Kent to break down his fantastic performance at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon where he ran a PB of 2:12:17 and won the Canadian Marathon Championship. We cover the last few weeks of hit training before digging into race day specifics. After chatting with Justin Shannon jumps on the Mic and we go over our training weeks. Thanks for listening!

This week, I sit down with Rowan Minnion, founder of Vancouver-based sports nutrition company Blonyx, for an in-depth look at all things sports nutrition. We dive into the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the importance of science-backed supplementation, and specific products designed to support endurance athletes. Later, Shan joins me to recap a challenging day at the Great Trek and to break down some key training insights. Don’t miss it!

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Briana Scott. Bri’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—she started running in 2017, completed her first 5K in 2018, and fast forward six years, found herself representing Canada on the start line of the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 5000m. It’s an incredible story of perseverance and dedication.

We also have a training update with Shan and a preview of the Great Trek course.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

This week we recap Shannon's experience at the Chicago Marathon. Things did not exactly go as planned, and she had a really tough day on Sunday. But in true Shanimal style she bounced back and made things right on Monday morning. These Major Marathons may just not be for everyone.

This week on the podcast I start by reflecting on my go at Chicago back in 2015, then we bring in Shanimal to chat about our training weeks- and her taper. We touch upon my new side hustle, the importance or Iron supplementation, running clubs as dating apps and the general shenanigans of tapering. Enjoy!

This week we chat with Athlete, Coach, Physio, Mom and all around badass Steph McGregor. We talk about all sorts of good stuff from running to coaching and everything in between. Then we hop right into a training update w/ Shannon as she is 2 weeks out from Chicago and it's getting real folks! Alrighty, let's go.
