Podcasts about toronto waterfront marathon

Another classic meandering conversation from Jenna and Colin. Jenna opened up the episode with some great news. Jenna will race The Toronto Waterfront Marathon on 19 Oct and we're super excited to follow her training progress and watch her dominate this race. Go Jenna! Surprisingly, we found ourselves talking about sexism shortly after. Did you know that a company seeking venture capital investment is 81% less likely to be funded if there is a woman on the leadership team? We discuss many other barriers women face in the business world.All that and much more on this episode of We Made It!Don't forget to subscribe, like, and share!CONTACT INFORMATIONEMAIL US // thewmipodcast@gmail.comINSTA // @WEMADEIT.PODCASTSUBREDDIT // r/WeMadeItPodcastTIKTOK // @WEMADEITPODCAST__________________________________________________RECORDING EQUIPMENTColin & Jenna both use this recording equipment: MAONO Microphone and HeadsetTHEME MUSICOur offspring and background music by:DJ QUADS - Bouquet of roses__________________________________________________SUPPORT & SHAREShare with your family and friends Listen to us on Apple podcast, Spotify, Breaker, Google podcasts, Overcast, Pocketcast & Radiopublic!

42 year old Canadian marathon record holder Natasha Wodak is back! This is Natasha's 3rd time on Inspired Soles and since we last spoke just four months ago, she's competed in numerous road races across Canada and even went over to Australia for a half marathon. She recently announced that she will be running the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon on October 20th, which serves as the Canadian Marathon Championships. In addition to the many meaningful reasons she chose this as her goal fall race, it's a full circle moment since this is where Natasha's marathoning career began back in 2013. And as you'll hear in the episode, she is a completely different athlete and person than she was 11 years ago. We touch on the CBC Documentary, Running a Revolution, where Natasha's attempts at making the 2024 Paris Olympic team were featured prominently . Even though her Olympic dream did not become a reality this time around, it gave her the opportunity to be a special analyst on the CBC broadcast team.This was a fun and unique episode where I gathered several listener questions. We go all over the map talking about hair crimpers, enthusiast fans, and cats on the putting green! We hear about her approach to nutrition, her friendly rivalry with Malindi Elmore, and what she finds so inspiring about the everyday runner. She leaves us with a beautiful message for those who didn't get into the 2025 Boston Marathon.

The TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon wants more women to run the marathon. Last year, they spent some time identifying challenges women face and having honest conversations with female runners about what can hold us back. This year, they launched the Women's Training Program: a free group for women planning to take on the full or half marathon on race day, October 20th. This group has been sharing their journey together online, in person on supported runs, and accessing resources, including a training program.  This training group is half way to their goal, so I caught up with a couple of them for a chat. Mandy Mundell is tackling training for the full for the third time after being sidelined in the past by injury and illness. Joan Broto, a mother of two teenagers, is working to prioritize her training time, and show her kids how amazing it can be to work towards a big goal. Kardia founder Heather Gardner joins us to bring her veteran perspective and provide some insight. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll definitely relate. Thanks to the participants and to TWM for letting me share this piece of the journey with everyone.  The TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon AND Half Marathon are officially sold out, but you can still catch the vibes by registering for the 5K on Saturday, October 19 www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com  Follow TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon @torontowaterfront42k Follow Mandy @tri_ingfitnesslife Follow Heather @catchingheather @kardiaathletica   --- Theme by Joseph McDade

Toronto Waterfront Marathon adding another race day this year. WHY?! Why did we approve 2 days for what's previously done in 1?

In the third installment of recordings from the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon stage: Women in the Marathon. This event was the second live discussion held by Canada Running Series to examine women's challenges in getting to the start line, this time focusing on the marathon. Moderated by Michelle Kay with Sasha Gollish and Melanie Murzeau, the panel was a beautiful cross-section of female runners: Gaby Alcala, Cory Freedman, Allison Hill, Nattalyee Randall and Lauren Roberts. These amazing humans have both experienced their own challenges in getting to the start line AND helped others overcome their obstacles, so the discussion was honest and open. There is always more to talk about, but this was a great way to continue the conversation.  Follow our panelists on Instagram: Gaby Alcala @aztitlan Cory Freedman @towomens_runs Allison Hill @byallisonhill Michelle Kay @yo_mk Melanie Murzeau @blackrunnersofthegta Nattalyee Randall @nattalyee Lauren Roberts @the_running_physio Canada Running Series @runcrs @runcrswest   EPISODE SPONSOR: Oasis ZooRun Get ready to run on the wild side: registration for the Oasis ZooRun is now open!

Adidas professional runner Emily Durgin shares how it all went down at the 2024 USATF Olympic Trials Marathon, which took place February 3, 2024, in Orlando, FL. On the line at this race, in addition to a national championship title, cash awards and series points, racers were vying for a spot on Team USA going to the 2024 Paris Olympics. This was the most anticipated US marathon of the last four years, and the competition was deeper and faster than ever. Marathon racing in the US is on fire, and this event was a terrific demonstration of just that. There were many racers lining up who had a legitimate shot at making the Olympic team, and Emily Durgin was one of them. The goal was simple: finish in the top 3 because those runners are automatic selections for the team; 4th place is the alternate. While Durgin is relatively new to the marathon, she's already had some stellar performances: in the one and only marathon she'd completed before the trials, the 2023 Toronto Waterfront Marathon, she'd clocked a 2:26, which ranked her 16th going into the trials (to note: she had lined up to debut at the 2022 NYC Marathon, but the day did not go her way and she did not finish). Durgin also has a blazing half-marathon PR of 1:07. And, she has a lot of experience with championship racing. Durgin's raced against the US's top competition and put herself on the podium several times. And coming into race day, she was ready: mentally, emotionally, and physically. In fact, an area where Durgin shines is in being able to arrive to the line with rock solid belief herself, which she goes into in this story. Because self-belief, unshakable confidence, it isn't something that just happens. It's the result of years of work. And of course, Durgin shares all the exciting details about the marathon itself, including her final moments before the finish line, which were not at all what she expected. Durgin is a consummate professional and it's cool to hear from an athlete who is so on her game. Just like last year, you can expect a Race Report episode for each race of the USATF Road Circuit series of races. Each episode features one top 10 runner telling the story of how the race went down, from her perspective. And because a race is never just about what happens on race day, you will get to know a little bit more about each one of the runners featured and how this race figures into their larger running story. The USATF Olympic Trials Marathon is a part of the USATF Running Circuit championship series of races. These are races that happen throughout the United States all year long and each race serves as a national championship for the distance or the type of race that is being run. Also, at each one of these races, in addition to vying for a national title, runners earn cash prizes and they earn points. The points go toward the series overall, which is determined at the end of the year. The next race on the circuit is the 15k National Championships taking place in Jacksonville, Florida, on March 2nd. A WRS Race Report will publish shortly thereafter.

"The reason people want to run the marathon is because the challenge, physically, is you. The distance – how you get there – is all up to you and how hard you work. That's why people want to do it." - Meb Keflezighi, winner 2009 NYC Marathon and 2014 Boston Marathon Follow @LADS_Unfiltered on Twitter Follow @LADS_Unfiltered on Instagram

What do running partnerships look like, and how can they make us better runners? We dug deep into these questions live from the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Expo. Olympian Dayna Pidhoresky and her coach and husband Josh Seifarth discussed mixing business with home life and how they make it work. Twin sisters April and Melanie Boultbee talk about living and running together and how that choice has allowed them to support each other in so many ways. Single mom Melanie Murzeau talks about the village it takes to allow her to run and support her community while raising her three kids. We all need support to make our dreams come true and I hope this conversation helps you think about how others help you and how you can better ask for what you need.

Carrie chats with Emily Durgin! They talk about getting ready for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, what has changed since her first marathon build, working through injuries and other setbacks, dancing, reality TV, fashion, and so much more!

Last week, the Toronto Waterfront Marathon held a run and panel discussion to talk about the fact that  last year only 28% of their marathon registrants were women. These conversations, along with some survey data they had collected ahead of the event were the beginning of a fire lit in panellist Sasha Gollish: elite runner and community superhero. I chatted with Sasha about the panel discussion, the research she is continuing to do to look at races around the world, and how we collect more data to move to action.

Straight from the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Speaker Series to your ears, it's the live recording of This is a Runner's Body. Co-hosted by Olympian Kate Van Buskirk, this panel featured Kirsty Beck, Melissa Doldron, and Melanie Murzeau. We talked about our behaviours around self-image, the role of social media in the conversation, and creating inclusive spaces where people can find their joy on the run. 

Each week Canadian Running staff writer Maddy Kelly and Shakeout host Kate Van Buskirk update you on the exciting world of running. This week on The Rundown we recap an exciting weekend of racing in Toronto and Amsterdam. The TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, which doubled as the Canadian Marathon Championships, returned after a three year hiatus and made for a day of thrilling racing. The TCS Amsterdam Marathon was the setting for marathon debuts by track stars Almaz Ayana and Genzebe Dibaba, resulting in the fastest women's debut in history. And an unfortunate doping story gives host Maddy Kelly an opportunity to break down the Canadian anti-doping protocols based on her own humourous experience. Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

In this episode of The XC Podcast, Alex Cyr talks with Rory Linkletter, a Canadian-American sponsored by Hoka One One, a member of the NAZ Elite squad, and running's equivalent to the Dos Equis' Most Interesting Man in the World. When Rory Linkletter ran 61:44 at the Houston Half Marathon in January, we all thought he was a shoe-in for making his first Canadian Olympic team. The, of course, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and the Games in Tokyo were postponed. Instead of packing it in for the year, the 24-year-old undertook several projects and challenges to outrun boredom. He started a podcast, he attempted to break Canada's one-hour run record, he bought a truck, he raced several virtual and in-person relays across the United States, he ran 2,000 feet up a mountain as hard as he could, he became a U.S. citizen, and now, he trains for his second-ever marathon. In this episode, Alex and Rory touch on several of these topics and more. Follow us on social @TheXCorg and visit our new content home: thexc.org

This weekend would have been the 31st running of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. It also marks 1 year since Trevor Hofbauer and Dayna Pidhoresky won the Canadian Marathon Olympic Trials at this event, both running under their respective Olympic standards. With this year's STWM going virtual, and runners likely looking for some inspiration, we're rebroadcasting our interviews with Dayna and Trevor from last year following their massive performances. We open with a message from race director Alan Brookes, who takes us through some of his favourite memories of Toronto waterfront marathon history.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899

In recent weeks, there has been much more of a discussion in regards to having more female coaches in the sport. There are already many out there and deserve recognition for their tremendous work. I wanted to personally share the story of coach Kate Gustafson, who has been helping me with my own training but has been doing remarkable things with athletes of all levels for years. She is a coach with Mile2Marathon and helps with the Brooklyn Track Club in New York City. In addition to being a wonderful mentor and coach, she's a great runner as well. She owns a 2:40:10 marathon personal best. She competed in this year's elite field at the Boston Marathon and finished as the top Canadian woman and 34th overall. Most recently, she placed eighth in a hard-fought effort at the Canadian marathon trials held at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Since this summer, Kate has assisted me and my good friend Ryan Welsh in our marathon training. Ryan, who was featured on this podcast a few episodes ago, joins me to co-host this episode. Kate has got tons of awesome stories about growing up in a small town in Canada, playing Division 1 hockey in college, rediscovering an intense passion for running after college, heading to Kenya to run and train with some of the world’s best distance runners, and finding her calling as a fantastic coach for so many up and coming runners. She’s the ultimate champion for women’s sport and someone Ryan and I definitely trust and look up to.

This week on The Rundown [1:10] Maddy Kelly and Kate Van Buskirk take a deep dive into the 2019 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM) [1:21]. We also bring you results from the Amsterdam Marathon [20:43], the Cape to Cabot 20K [23:01] and Big's Backyard Ultra [24:36]. Our guests this week are newly named Olympians and Canadian Marathon Champions Trevor Hofbauer and Dayna Pidhoresky [31:36] Dayna and Trevor had remarkably similar storylines at this year's STWM. Neither were favourites for the win, and they each ran nearly 7 minute PB's to take the Canadian title and hit their Olympic qualifying marks. Both made big moves in the last 18 months, changing their training locations, coaches and lifestyles. And both came into this race as a last ditch attempt to prove to themselves and the nation that they belong on the world stage.

Calgary's Trevor Hofbauer joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast just days after locking up his automatic berth for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo by finishing as the top Canadian man at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. It marked the second Canadian marathon title in three years for Hofbauer as he upset Canadian record holder Cam Levins (3rd place, 2:15:01). Last year, Levins broke the Canadian record in Toronto in 2:09:25 and two years ago, Hofbauer celebrated into the finish line chute when he won in 2:18:05. This time around, he didn't celebrate until he made the final turn and saw the clock before the finish. He managed to lower his personal best from 2:16:48 in April's Hamburg Marathon to 2:09:51. After his race, he tweeted: "There’s a guy that lives in Calgary, trains solo except on LR Sunday’s with the guys, trains based off of feel, isn’t dictated by numbers, doesn’t care about likes and follows, and he’s a 2:09 guy. KEEP SHOWING UP" On Tuesday, he published a blog titled "Keep Showing Up" where he detailed the six-year journey to get to this point. We run through the blog post, which you can read here: https://trevorhofbauer.com/2019/10/22/keep-showing-up/ All of that and more in this episode of the show.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a chat with Ottawa City Run Club member, triathlete and coach, Kelsey Hunter. She grew up as a swimmer and competed through university until it just wasn’t fun anymore.  She retired from the sport she loved, until a few friends encouraged her to sign up for her first triathlon just 6 years ago. Since then she hasn’t looked back. We discussed Ottawa Race Weekend, her journey to becoming a triathlete, the stresses work can put on training. Growing up with professional athlete as a parent has taught Kelsey hard work. And with the Toronto Waterfront Marathon coming up this fall. She’ll use that mentality to try and get a Boston Qualifier. Can’t wait to see how she does!

Robert MacDonald's life changed in an instant, during a trip to Mexico, he fell 31 feet from his hotel balcony, landed on his back and had two immediate thoughts. "What have I done", and "I can't feel my legs"... What followed was a journey of resilience and an attitude of "I will" that has motivated a community of incredible people to make a positive impact on the world around them. Following Robert's accident, with nine broken vertebrae, a dislocated spine, 11 broken ribs, a fractured scapula, a punctured lung, a lacerated kidney, and no sensation below his waist, doctors gave Robert MacDonald a 5% chance of ever walking again. Two years later, he completed a half marathon and three years later he completed his first full marathon. Team "I Will" started with one man, a tragedy and is now one of Toronto’s fastest growing charities. The Toronto Rahab Foundation helped give MacDonald a second chance and three years later, he set out to complete a marathon and give back. Soon a dynamic community had rallied around his mantra and hundreds would challenge themselves to do the same, joining MacDonald in crossing the finish line at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 2015. ---------------------- The InnerVoice Audio experience wouldn't be possible without the support of Ikor Labs, who have sponsored this episode. iKOR is a natural hemp source of CBD that protects your body from stress, improves athletic recovery and helps you maintain a positive mental state.

A look back at Ed Whitlock's final marathon, at 85, in Toronto before he passed away in March 2017 at the age of 86.

We speak with his son, Neil Whitlock, elite runners, Rachel Hannah and Reid Coolsaet, Alan Brookes, Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon race director, and sports scientist, Paul Vanderburgh, to reflect on the story of his 3:56:38 marathon as one of the greatest races in running history.

Alan Brookes joins us to talk about the STWM history and how it brings over $30million dollars in economic development to Toronto every year and how the City and Community supports this iconic event.

Jean-Paul Bédard is an author, advocate, elite endurance athlete, and  was named one of the "50 Most Influential Canadians" by Huffington Post. In 2013, Jean-Paul disclosed to family and friends that he is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and rape. As a result, he turned to long-distance running to help him battle his addiction and mental health issues. Since that time, he has become an international advocate for other survivors of sexual violence.  In 2014, Jean-Paul ran the iconic Boston Marathon twice in the same day in a highly publicized campaign. In 2015 he was awarded the "Golden Shoe Award" for being named "Canadian Runner of the Year".  As a Brooks sponsored athlete and veteran of over 130 marathons and ultra marathons, Jean-Paul represented Canada in the prestigious Comrades Marathon in South Africa, a grueling 90km race through mountainous terrain. In the fall of 2015, Jean-Paul ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon three times in the same day to demonstrate the resiliency of survivors of trauma.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/donationsWant to advertise on this podcast?
