On Episode 3, we check in with Ryan’s new-to-running buddy Dan (dan_smithson11) and see if Ryan lived up to his promise of a new running hat. We then chat about the intense world of Strava segment hunting & the Edmonton run scene with Patrick Sperling (@dumpster_diver). We then get to hear the audio of Ryan running a beer mile featuring a pre-race interview where he discovers what his daughters really think about his beer mile attempt. We close out the show with a recap of the Vancouver Virtual Beer Mile including chats with the champions, Ian Thomson (@brewforthought) and Maddie Wiseman (@maddie_wiseman_).
First, Ryan catches up with Mel Ofner (@MelSays) from Run Distrikt in North Vancouver. With a due date set for next week, they talk about the importance that running played throughout her pregnancy.
Then, Steph McGregor (@anygivenrunday) walks us through how she trained during her pregnancy, what it was like returning to the sport after giving birth and setting goals as a new mom, including the Mother's Day goal of her first half marathon since having her baby!
Lecia Mancini (@Loopin_Lecia) is a motherlike figure in the Montreal Running Community. Ryan chats with her about a unique fundraiser done by her community in an effort to raise money for COVID-related charities.
We close the show with a spontaneous chat with Ryan’s favourite Mum, his wife Charlotte (@chasteele). She talks about living with a runner and how she handles sharing the spotlight with his obsession.
On Episode 1, Ryan is joined by Heather Gardner (@catchingheather) from TRIBE FITNESS. They talk about how she was able to switch her fitness studio to an online forum seemingly overnight and how she has maintained such a strong connection to her community during these socially distant times.
Then, Richard Kuchinsky (@rkuchinsky) walks us through his own virtual race day with a personally branded Bostoronto Marathon following the disappointment of his debut Boston Marathon postponement.
With gyms closed, Dan Smithson (@dan_smithson11) is newish to the world of running. We check in to see how the re-introduction to the sport is treating him and Ryan entices him with free stuff so that he stays in the sport even when the gyms reopen.
Cory Jennermann (@runguides) also stops by to promote his upcoming race, the Virtual Vancouver Beer Mile, in case you needed a legitimate training excuse for your post-run beer(s).
