Teal Gove is a Canadian runner and Lululemon ambassador, she works for Hockey Canada and is one of my favourite people to follow online. Her journey to running a Boston Qualifier has been incredibly inspiring for me, and I hope that by sharing her story, you will be motivated and inspired too.

Teal ran her first marathon in 2016, and not long after, the BQ dream was born. After 3 further attempts, she finally earned her first BQ, 3.31.25... except that it wasn't quite the unicorn she hoped. She missed the Boston time cut off by 77 seconds. Rather than letting that stop her, she pinned the rejection letter up on her mirror and used it to fuel her fire. She stepped up her training, and ran a 3.26.52 last summer. She was so excited to be finally running the Boston Marathon in 2020.,.. but we all know how that worked out. She ran a virtual Boston this summer but is all in to get to that Boston start line!

'Being open with the fact that I'm really struggling, any post that I've said I'm struggling or having difficulty with motivation, when I've been brutally honest...you get so many DMs, so many comments from people saying I'm in the same boat. It's going to be alright. Lets motivate each other...you are not alone' - Rich Solomon 

Kicking off Season 2 of the Cook Eat Run podcast talking about mental health and running, why running right now is just...different, and what Run Happy means to Rich Solomon (radiographer and runner) and Claire Butters (Brooks Marketing Manager EMEA Region North).
