EP 102. Marissa Papaconstantinou

Run Canada Podcast ·

2022/01/15

Marissa Papaconstantinou is a two time Paralympian: her first games were in Rio before she turned 17. This past year in Tokyo we watched her bring home the bronze medal in the Women’s T64 100 metre and hit double PRs in the 200m. In our interview Marissa used the phrase “learning through challenges” which I think perfectly summarizes her years in the sport.

EP 99. Alycia Butterworth

Run Canada Podcast ·

2021/12/18

Alycia Butterworth is quite humble about the amount of work, effort and mental fortitude she puts into her steeplechase career. This girl is awesome, and I feel like she should shout her own name a little more. If you saw her race in the Olympics, you know that she has mental and physical fortitude that not a lot of other athletes can match. She is always assessing and analyzing, like the data scientist that she is, and making small adjustments to create big gains.

Run Canada Podcast ·

2021/11/27

Leslie Sexton took the break in races this past year and a half to focus on the fundamentals - shorter distances and challenging workouts.

Run Canada Podcast ·

2021/10/22

Not only is Malindi Elmore the Canadian Women’s record holder in the marathon, she finished 9th in the 2021 women's Olympic marathon. Malindi's race day motto “patience is power” took her through the grueling race, but also holds an even larger significance: 17 years may have passed since her last Olympic appearance, but she sure made up for lost time. We talk all about her experience from start to finish, including what a post race celebration looked like at this year's Olympics. Spoiler alert: it

Run Canada Podcast ·

2021/10/01

Gabriela DeBues Stafford and I like to talk and we hadn’t caught up since she returned to Canada from Scotland at the start of the pandemic so we had a lot of ground to cover. But we managed to focus and we dug in hard to the Olympics. Gabriela talks about what it was like to attend the Olympics with her sister Lucia Stafford, how her races went out tactically, and how she is a wholly different human than she was in Rio.

If you need a daily dose of happiness, here it is. Rae Sunshine is so full of light and joy, it’s right in her name. Rae is a fantastic storyteller so I won't ruin it, but her journey to triathlon started with her dragging herself on crutches to the bike shop to purchase a bike that she couldn’t even ride yet. Now Rae proudly proclaims herself an athlete: she is a dedicated triathlete who is deeply involved in her community in her hometown of Calgary. Her mission is to pass on the love and support

Run Canada Podcast ·

2021/08/19

For episode three of our August how it started how it's going, we talk about a subject very close to my own heart: being a race volunteer. Amy Li was just a girl who started out hating running but grew to love it. In fact, she grew to love it so much, she wanted to play a role in everyone’s race day, so she got involved as a volunteer. Today Amy holds multiple volunteer roles and she and I chat about why being a volunteer is so special and how YOU can make the decision to get started too.
