For Better or for Worse: the show where a beginner and an elite runner, engaged to be married, try to survive training, racing, and each other. Meet the Hosts: Alexis D’Souza: Beginning runner, Gilmore Girls fanatic, real estate agent. 5k PB: TBD. “Alex catfished me into this whole running thing - 100 mile weeks was never part of the deal. But my siblings are into it, and my friends are racing marathons; so I’ve finally decided to see what this fuss is all about. It can’t be that hard, right?” Alex Cyr: Running nerd, writer and journalist, 63-minute half-marathoner.Marathon Handbook ランニング・ジョギング

  • We Ranked All 7 World Marathon Majors (Alex Is Back From Sydney)

    We Ranked All 7 World Marathon Majors (Alex Is Back From Sydney)
    2026/09/02

    Alex just landed back in Toronto after covering the Sydney Marathon, and Alexis has news of her own: she signed herself up for her very first race ever, without telling Alex first. They break down what actually makes a marathon a "major," the six-star (now seven-star) finisher medal, Boston's brutal qualifying standards, and then go head-to-head ranking every major from worst to best, with some surprising results. Plus: a stunt-eating segment with duty-free crocodile jerky, training updates (including a brand new 5K PB), and an audience Q&A on how many days a week you actually need to run.

  • We Play "Kiss, Marry, Kill" (Long Runs vs Workouts vs Easy Runs)

    We Play "Kiss, Marry, Kill" (Long Runs vs Workouts vs Easy Runs)
    2026/08/25

    Today, we're playing Kiss, Marry, Kill... running edition. Alex and Alexis each pick which type of run (long run, workout, or easy run) they'd keep forever, marry for life, and never do again. Along the way: Alexis completes her first full week of real training for her October 5K, the two debate whether ultra running is more impressive than a fast 5K, and things get surprisingly sweet when the game turns into a conversation about what actually makes a marriage work.

    Plus, in this week's His & Hers: is Wiz Khalifa really a runner now, is Harry Styles secretly running marathons dressed as Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig, and are costumed race records (handcuffs, blue jeans, sleeping bags) a fun goal or a weird gimmick? We close out with a tough audience question about whether Alex is truly committed enough to chase a spot on Canada's national team.

  • I DNF'd My World Championships Qualifier... Here's What I Learned

    I DNF'd My World Championships Qualifier... Here's What I Learned
    2026/08/18

    Alex heads to Edmonton for the Canadian Half Marathon Championships with one goal: run fast enough to punch his ticket to the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen. What actually happens is a start-line scare over recording gear, a rough patch at 5K, and a DNF at 6K after throwing up twice on the course.

    In this episode, Alex gives Alexis (and you) the full, unfiltered "word vomit" recap recorded just 24 hours after the race: the good, the bad, and the humbling. Along the way there's a chance airport run-in with Canadian Olympian Cam Levins that completely resets Alex's perspective on what it actually takes to be mentally tough at the top of the sport.
