This week we chat about our recent trip to Victoria BC where we took a little tour of the Victoria Marathon course in prep for Shan's Marathon in 2 weeks (It's my marathon now too, apparently).

We discuss goals, course strategy and cats...lots of cat talk this week!

Shan also reflects on running w/ gratitude and her overall relationship with racing.

I hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by!

This week we recap Shannon's experience at the Chicago Marathon. Things did not exactly go as planned, and she had a really tough day on Sunday. But in true Shanimal style she bounced back and made things right on Monday morning. These Major Marathons may just not be for everyone.

This week Shanimal joins as co-host as we discuss her Training heading into the Victoria Marathon- She's getting fit!

We also recap some recent Triathlon endeavours including a Win at the Vancouver Sprint and a decent hit at Santa Cruz 70.3 Success - I'm starting to like these Triathlons, it's time to lean in proper.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it!

Rate and review if you're keen.

It's been a while, but this week Shan and I sit down for a training chat. We cover our epic bike packing trip to Quadra island, our Battle on mt. Baker and Shannon's training for the Victoria Marathon.

We also introduce our new run club for Neurodivergent youth and teens.

Thanks so much for tuning in!

Hello! This week we continue to follow along w/ Ellis Gray on his quest to PB and go sub 2:40 in the marathon. We touch upon how his 2025 has gone thus far and unfortunately we have to address a bit of a bump in the road in the form of a knee injury.

Thanks for tuning in!

After having so much fun chatting w/ Dylan about his path to Grandma's I figured why not do the same thing w/ an M2M athlete, and here we are.

Pt 1 of Ellis Gray vs. the 2:39 marathon. We'll follow along w/ long time M2M athlete Ellis Gray. Ellis is a hardworking, focused and very committed athlete (He's also simply a great guy)

From his first Marathon- a modest 3:36, Ellis has had quite the journey- he's run many of the majors, honed his craft and worked down to 2:41, the next goal is to break the 2:40 barrier at the Victoria Marathon. Follow along as we track his progress of the build and do a deep dive into what it takes to put it out there and strive for excellence.

Thanks for listening!

This week I am super stoked to have my buddy Mau join us for a chat. Mau is a runner, adventurer, explorer and entrepreneur.

Mau is the founder of Aire Libre running and a fellow lululemon ambassador. We chat about why we run, how we experience the sport in our own way and how his sense of adventure led to him founding his company Aire Libre.

It is a great chat and I hope you enjoy it.

Afterwards Shannon and I take some time to chat training and bike races - we participated in the Oakanagan Gran Fondo - an event marred by tragedy. It was a sad day and we briefly talk about our experience there.

Thank you for tuning in, have a lovely day.

My brother Pete and I headed to Vermont this past weekend to take on the Vermont GranFondo-X. 240km w/ 4300m of elevation, including the steepest paved Mile in North America - The Lincoln Gap...it was gnarly, but we lived to tell the tale. Take a listen as we break down the highlights (Pacelines, big climbs and peanut butter sandwiches) and lowlights (crashes, travel shenanigans, terrifying gravel descents)...all in all it was a super fun weekend and we'll certainly be looking to do more events like this in the future.
