Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/06/24

Last week, I was working to help put on the Manitoba Marathon. As the week went, I put a few videos on social to give you a bit of a peek behind the curtain. I wanted to extend that with a bit of a week's recap with our staff team: Executive Director Rachel Munday and Programs Manager Sarah Carroll. I hope you get a little bit of an understanding of what goes into race week, and I hope that what you take away is how passionate people who put on races are. We genuinely love the sport, and we

EP 161. Anna Lewis

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/06/10

I want you to imagine a race so steeped in history in time it is the oldest road race in North America. A race so epic it runs at the tail end of the winter and challenges runners to 30 kilometres of roads, hills and water. A race so supported by its community that nothing stops them from celebrating the runners and the traditions of its beautiful city every year. Who could possibly manage all of that time, tradition and epicness? It’s the incredible Anna Lewis, race director for Hamilton’s Around

Jenny Tough is the ultimate adventurer. Originally from Calgary, but now living in the UK, Jenny is a writer, filmmaker, and ultra bike racer.

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/05/13

It's always a fantastic day when I get to catch up with the incredible Natasha Wodak. It’s been a hot minute since we last spoke, so we had a lot to talk about: her Olympic experience running with Malindi Elmore, the Boston Marathon, and oh just a couple more Canadian national championships under her belt. No big deal. Natasha also now trains with Trent Stellingwerff, and she talks about what it’s been like to make that transition. We also chatted about what her race season might look like after

EP 157. Kate Ayers

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/05/06

Kate Ayers originally had a different sport in mind when she started at the University of Guelph, but the running community brought her in, and she has never looked back.

After a tough string of injuries, she’s now training on the west coast with the awesome Hillary Stellingwerff and has had a fiery start to 2023.

2023/04/29

Emelyn Jade is a runner living in British Columbia who I instantly knew I wanted to get to know better. After her fiancé encouraged her to jump on the running train in 2019, she ran her first half marathon and hasn’t looked back. Emelyn agreed to be my test subject to see if I could stay on track to get through 76 rapid-fire questions... But is it 76 questions if I accidentally asked a few twice differently? You be the judge. It was 76 questions about running, life, PRPs, chips, and many reasons to

Natalia Allen may have just officially announced her retirement from professional sport, but this brilliant lady has been planning her steps forward for much longer. After going all in and quitting her full-time job to put everything she had into running, Natalia made her dreams come true by lining up in the 1500 at the Tokyo Olympics. After that, she took a trip to Eugene for Worlds and a trip down under to run at the World Cross-Country Championships. We also chat a bit about her wedding and what

EP 154. Rach McBride

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/04/15

There is a reason that they call Rach McBride the most interesting person in triathlon. Because they just are. Rach is a five-time 70.3 Ironman champion and a highly accomplished runner, cyclist and gravel racer. Rach is one of a very small number of nonbinary elite professional athletes, and we talk a bit about the weight that comes with that. I loved learning about Rach’s early starts in sport, their parents, their racing style and what makes them proud. Find Rach on Instagram @rachelmcb

2023/03/25

Come hang out with me and everyone’s favourite third-grade teacher Lyndsay Tessier. I haven’t had the chance to chat with this Team Canada athlete since the pandemic, so we get caught up on what life was like remote teaching and her choice to focus on her students over running. We talk about how she worked through plantar fasciitis and the lesson learned with a nagging injury that only patience will heal. Lyndsay has had the chance to get back to racing for the joy of competition again, and we

EP 148. Anne Chang

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/02/25

Anne Chang may appear like everyone else, but don’t let her modesty fool you. This mother of four is a determined, goal-oriented runner and run coach. Anne uses running to reclaim a bit of who she is outside of being a mom and a full-time employee and to see what might be possible. She wants to see how far she can stretch and where she can go if she moves out of her comfort zone and lets things get hard. Anne and I chat about the first leg of her journey to achieving the six stars of the World

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/01/28

Two-time Olympian Andrea Seccafien and I last chatted at the beginning of 2020, so it’s needless to say, we had a lot to catch up on. We talk about the road to the Olympics, which was challenging for everyone, but slightly more challenging for her, and her experience doubling in Tokyo in the 5,000 and the 10,000. She also talks candidly about the significant injury that has had her sidelined from her profession for six months (trigger warning for dealing with anxiety and injury recovery). Andrea is

EP 144. Jenn Messina

Run Canada Podcast ·

2023/01/21

This week’s guest is a little off the beaten path of running, but I hope it starts our amazing community off on the right foot for January. Jenn Messina has been a registered dietician living in British Columbia for 15 years. She started her own journey from a place of trying to “crack the diet code” so that she could live a life of thinness, and discovered that what she was really looking for was just the opposite. Jenn and I talk about intuitive eating, rejecting diet culture, and questioning
