Eldridge 'Gus' Eatman is not a well-known name in Canada, but it should be. A century ago, Eatman was regarded as one of the fastest men on the planet: he was a world record-holder and world champion. He was also a soldier, all at a time when Black Canadians were not allowed to compete in amateur athletics or enlist in the army. His legacy is finally being recognized, thanks to a distant relative who unearthed his story and launched a mission to share it with the world.

Camille Herron is one of the most accomplished ultra runners of all time. Famously fuelled by tacos and beer, Camille crushes world records and demolishes her competition. Two weeks ago she broke the 48-hour women’s world record at the Sri Chinmoy 48-hour Festival and in doing so became the first woman to set an outright American record at any distance.  In this episode we chat about this most recent accomplishment, the narrowing gap between women and men in the ultra running world, and getting better with age.

Eilish McColgan is one of the best distance runners in the world. The 32-year-old is a 3-time Olympian, a European and Commonwealth Games champion, and holds numerous British records. Last weekend, she added another record to that list, running the 10,000m in 30:00.86 as she prepares for her marathon debut in London next month. 

But despite her impressive athletic resume, Eilish frequently finds herself fending off social media trolls who are more focused on her appearance than her results. Coached by her mom, Olympic medalist Liz McColgan, Eilish knows the impact of strong female role models. In honour of International Women’s Day, this week we chat about Eilish’s phenomenal career, and how she’s using it to create a better future for girls in sport.
