Rob talks Running

This week we catch up with Justin Kent to break down his fantastic performance at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon where he ran a PB of 2:12:17 and won the Canadian Marathon Championship. We cover the last few weeks of hit training before digging into race day specifics. After chatting with Justin Shannon jumps on the Mic and we go over our training weeks. Thanks for listening!

This week, I sit down with Rowan Minnion, founder of Vancouver-based sports nutrition company Blonyx, for an in-depth look at all things sports nutrition. We dive into the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the importance of science-backed supplementation, and specific products designed to support endurance athletes. Later, Shan joins me to recap a challenging day at the Great Trek and to break down some key training insights. Don’t miss it!

This week on the podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Briana Scott. Bri’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—she started running in 2017, completed her first 5K in 2018, and fast forward six years, found herself representing Canada on the start line of the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 5000m. It’s an incredible story of perseverance and dedication.

We also have a training update with Shan and a preview of the Great Trek course.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

This week on the podcast I start by reflecting on my go at Chicago back in 2015, then we bring in Shanimal to chat about our training weeks- and her taper. We touch upon my new side hustle, the importance or Iron supplementation, running clubs as dating apps and the general shenanigans of tapering. Enjoy!

This week we chat with Athlete, Coach, Physio, Mom and all around badass Steph McGregor. We talk about all sorts of good stuff from running to coaching and everything in between. Then we hop right into a training update w/ Shannon as she is 2 weeks out from Chicago and it's getting real folks! Alrighty, let's go. 

This week we start with a little Berlin preview and then we recap Rob's 70.3 experience down in Richland WA. Shannon takes us through her training as she keeps working away towards Chicago and her struggles with that annoying hip. We also have a hater:( 
Enjoy!

This week we get a little deeper with Shannon with an interview getting to know her and how she got to here with here running journey. 
We then catch up on the weekly training which involves track beef, bike KOMS, pic long runs and sloppy Sundays morning. It's a good one check it out!

This week Rob and Shan sit down and chat running. We touch upon Mile Repeats, Long runs and the general grind as she gets ever closer to the Chicago Marathon. We also recap Rob's Whistler Granfondo bike race as he thrashed himself to keep up with the younger guys in a literal and metaphoric sense. 

This week we have Justin Kent on the pod to chat all sorts of good stuff. Justin is a 2:13 marathoner, 62min 1/2 marathoner and all around great dude. We talk about the Olympic qualifying grind, dealing with injury, fatherhood and coaching. Lots of good stuff in there. 
Then Shannon jumps on in and we talk about our training weeks and try to keep things civilized while we do it. 
Thanks so much for tuning in and have a great week. 

Rob and Shan sat down for their weekly training recap and basically ended up talking about all sorts of running things for an hour or so and thus it became the entire show for this week. 
We chat Rob's marathon plan, our 5000m race experience, Shan talks about her shoes and training gear and we also cover our training weeks. 
I hope you enjoy it, thanks!
