Caitlin is an impressively fast runner who's just started to dabble in the trails. Without much experience she has already crushed the 50km distance and will be one to watch. 

In 2023 she  got third place at the Squamish 50k trail race in August, which was the Canadian trail racing championships. Three weeks later, she won the Queen City full marathon in Regina, 17 seconds off her course record and qualified for Boston marathon. In November she won a World Series trail race in Puerto Vallarta Mexico which was another 50k trail race, called PuertoVallarta UTMB. This upcoming year she's excited to run Boston marathon in April and the world championships of trail running in Chamonix, France at UTMB Mont Blanc.

I had the pleasure of chatting with John from the Trillium Running Podcast. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend his podcast to add to your playlist. 

Their goal is to reach those that we are not already reaching, to give voice to the underrepresented members of our community and bring these stories to the masses.

Buckle up as Cory takes us back to Western States 100, where he had to  pull his runner from the depths of a low, to finish feeling strong.

"I feel like after this I have some fresh perspective and tips that I could bring to an episode, especially from the perspective of pacing someone that has gone from chasing a sub 24 hour goal at the beginning of the day to almost fighting the cutoff with 60km of course ahead of them.

We started just after 10pm, and wouldn't be seeing our crew for almost 6 hours. Tyler and I had to totally redo his nutrition plan on the fly, and figure out how to keep him moving to stay far enough ahead of the cutoff. He had a glorious rally, and finished with just under 2 hours to the cutoff. " - Cory

Cory @runguides 

In 2015 May believed she wasn't an athlete, but started walk jogging short distances around a track to try something different. She quickly became obsessed and started the instagram account @i.heart.running to document her new hobby. Like many of us, May most certainly is an athlete and just needed to get over that mental block. She's now run distances up to 50km and is passionate about the sport and the community. She will leave you feeling excited to get out there!

Sarah Seads has been working and playing in the fields of running, rehabilitation and health and wellness since 1996 when she stumbled into her career as a Kinesiologist during her first year of University at UVic. Intending to complete her degree as a writer, Sarah suddenly found herself in the school of exercise sciences when a tree planting injury landed her in the university’s Physio clinic.  Sarah has been working as a professional Coach in the fields of Kinesiology and sport science for over 25 years and has helped thousands of inspiring humans overcome their limiting beliefs and reach towards their soul sized visions, dreams and goals all over the planet.  Thanks in part to the pandemic, Sarah closed her successful in person company on Vancouver Island to follow her lifelong dream of becoming a successful writer.  Although she has written 3 small books already, Sarah is currently writing her first experiential & highly adventurous memoir, which will be based around a central theme of pushing pause on her familiar life, closing her business, turning away from her mind-only living experiences and turning solely into heart based living by learning to listen to and trust her intuition.  Sarah has recently returned to her full-time business coaching groups and individuals both online & in-person, after spending the past 3 years navigating her inner and outer wilderness all around the world.

This episode was SO fun.. so it deserves a second play. First or second time through, you'll love this one.

This episode is all about why you run.  We share our reasons for running and we learn how sappy Tory really is. We will give you something to think about if you're not sure what race to run, or if you want to race at all. Thank you for everyone who sent in their "why"
