This week Marathon Dave and Cam Ultra Twa discuss the many layers behind Thea Campbell who is a Mother, Teacher, Bag Piper and Runner. Thea is a goal orientated planner who has her eyes set on an upcoming 6hr running challenge. Cam and Dave chat with Thea about her training, motivations and what she hopes to achieve with this daunting objective.  

What keeps you motivated on a run? Who inspires you? How do I fix a leaky gasket in my toilet? This week Cam "Ultra" Twa and Marathon Dave take and answer questions from the audience. Be prepared for some for off the cuff answers and plenty of unsolicited advice.   

Are you a Runner, Jogger, Hiker or Walker? When it comes down to it, does it matter? In my books, if you have completed 21.1km on foot you are officially a half-marathoner. This week, Cam "Ultra" Twa and I sit down and chat with Anne Tyrrell. After completing a local 5km event two years ago Anne has caught the racing bug and has taken part in almost every event Yellowknife has had to offer and has her eyes set on some impressive goals.      

Depending on the day of the week you may see Gonzalo running, biking, swimming, paddling or out for a dog walk. Cam and I sit down to chat with a true Multi Sport Athlete, Gonzalo Espinosa, and discuss some of events he has conquered over the past few years. 

In Episode 9, Cam "Ultra" Twa and I share a beer, a few laughs and some running tales with Hash House Harrier, Len MacDonald. Our conversation with Len brings us from West Coast to East Coast and even further North. Len fills us in on what makes running in Yellowknife such a unique experience. 

In Episode 8, local legend Doug Townson, walks and runs us through what it was like to run some of the most prestigious races in the world, including The Boston Marathon and The NYC Marathon.

In Episode 7, Cam “Ultra” Twa and I chat with friend and neighbor, Greg Tink. In a year where many have struggled to remain active, Greg has flourished by adding a track workout multiple times a week into his routine. Greg tells us how he started his running journey with the help of his wife and running partner, Melanie, a can-do attitude and some sophisticated Apple tech.
