Today's guest is varsity athlete and co-host of the Keep It Running Podcast Courtney Hufsmith. She's an accomplished track and field athlete who has represented Canada internationally, but today Alex Cyr talks with her about an entirely different challenge Hufsmith faced during the Pandemic: a social media detox. Last spring, the University of Saskatchewan runner was injured and found herself way too invested in what her peers were up to with training on Instagram. She began to realize that her relationship to social media wasn't healthy, so she decided to do something drastic.

On Jan. 1, Hufsmith had gone 100 days without using any of her social media platforms. Here, she shares what she's learned, how she now feels about these platforms and their effect upon an athlete.
