Tonight's guest John Collicott was a lifeguard at one point and a swim coach later on, he loved coaching. Then one day he went out 2.5km and made a paint mark on the road and decided to use that as his 5 km training. He couldn't believe how long the 2.5km was taking and was positive that he must have passed his mark. There it was a short while later right where he had made it. That got John started, and he was running 10ks, half marathons and then one day John decided it was time to run more distance. His first marathon was in Halifax and his first real trail run was the Wascally Wabbit in Nova Scotia. Once John started he knew that trail running was what he really wanted to do. We also go over some of the challenges that John has faced and how he is dealing with them now. Plus John tells us how he created his own 100-mile run and how badly he wanted to finish it. John is a great storyteller so come on in and listen to the 20-year Paramedic talk about how he stays motivated.
