Our coverage of Sunday's Marathon Project in Arizona continues with... the man, the myth, the Canadian marathon running legend: Cameron Levins.

Levins says he will be racing for the win on Sunday, but also plans on breaking his own Canadian national marathon record of 2:09:25 in the process. Oh, and that will no doubt confirm his return to the Olympics after a nine year absence.

In this podcast, host Michael Doyle speaks with Levins, who is already in Arizona waiting for race day. They discuss his surreal and tough experience running the London Marathon in October, his quest to be a world-beating marathoner, and the jaw-dropping workouts he's done in prep for The Marathon Project.

It's Marathon Project week at The XC, where we are going deep on the event, including daily podcasts and a live pod on race day, Dec. 20, starting at 9:30 a.m. ET. on our YouTube channel, Facebook page and on Twitter.
