In this episode, we get together to reminisce and reflect on that journey. We touch upon the amazing running, the powerful cultural experience the retreat offered and more.

This week Shan and Rob discuss the Victoria Marathon.
It was a tough day as Shan went 3:58, her 2nd fastest time ever, but she shy of her ultimate goal of a sub 3:50.
Shannon absolutely left it all out there and I could not be more proud of the effort she put forth on race day. They aren't all great, but it is through struggle where character is revealed - our girl never quit and can walk away proud with how she showed up.
Tune in as we talk it all out.
Thanks for all the kind words and support.
Thanks for stopping by.

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.

This week I’m thrilled to welcome gait specialist Paul Mackinnon for a deep dive into the art and science of movement.
Paul shares his expertise on gait, biomechanics, and how thoughtful movement patterns help runners stay healthy, move efficiently, and ultimately run faster. We explore the importance of individual mechanics and physics in both boosting performance and preventing injury.
In this episode, we unpack:
Why the “180 strides per minute” rule just doesn’t fit everyoneHow footwear technology has evolved—and what that means for your running formTips on using a power meter to maximize your training
…and so much more.I walked away with fresh insights and I hope you will too. Thanks for tuning in.

Ok folks, things are looking up! The countdown to race day is on and Dylan is cross-training like an animal to get on that start line healthy and ready to jam. DW lets us in on the "innovative" cross-training methods he's using to stay fit. He reflects on the motivation he draws from fellow athletes and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset during recovery.
We discuss our preferred cross training modalities, drawing inspiration from our boy Jakob and feathering the line of how hard to send it while toeing the line of injury.
Thanks so much for tuning in, I hope you enjoy the episode.
