Erin Poirier on Running Across The Gambia
This is a conversation about determination. Erin is a badass runner, fellow coach, mother, and nurse. She has won races outright, but she works hard to keep performing at this level, and it shows through in everything that she does. One morning she casually dropped that she ran across an entire African country, and I’ve always wanted to know more about that, so here we are.
Laura Power on Conquering the 298 km Cabot Trail
This past summer Laura and 6 of her friends ran all 17 legs of the Cabot Trail Relay Race. If your looking to find out the difference between why some everyday runners are able to follow through on there goals while others are not, then this conversation is for you.
Robyn Manning on Having a Breakthough Season During a Pandemic
This is a conversation about understanding your “why" and making your training, races and adventures about more than just the run. Robyn is someone that I’ve wanted to meet for a while and this new Podcast project of mine gave me the perfect excuse to reach out to her and have a conversation.
Mark MacMurty Family Man and Ultra Endurace Athlete
This is a conversation about taking charge of your health. I’ve been coaching Mark for a few years now and but it was great to sit down and have a conversation with him without my coach hat on. I throughly enjoyed catching up with him and talking all things ultra running.
Liam McVarnock On Embracing the Suffering to Find What You're Made Of
This past summer after Liam's dream 100 mile race at the Zion national park was cancelled he created his own adventure running 100 miles from Peggy's Cove to Portapique in Nova Scotia in honour of all of the victim's of the mass shooting which recently happened there. In this conversation we get into all the juicy details from the logistics of planning the route, his nutrition, and the highs and lows of the run.
Sarah Riley on The Power of The Running Community
This is a conversation about having the courage to take action on your ideas and not being afraid to chase after your dreams. I've know Riley for many years, but I throughly enjoyed having this opportunity to sit down with her and I got to hear a lot about her that I didn't know before.
