On this episode of RunThrough presents Gone Running, Ben Sheppard talks to Canaan Solomon, who shares his journey from being an elite runner to his decision to step away from competition due to injuries and a loss of passion, something he now realises he needed to find his love for the sport again.

Canaan discusses the challenges of finding that joy, the impact of ego on running, and the evolution of running culture in recent years. 

He emphasises the importance of consistency, enjoyment, and running’s accessibility as a sport. Ben and Canaan also reflect on the disconnect between elite and recreational runners and the potential future of running in the age of social media.
