Andre De Grasse
I had the privilege of sitting down with one of Canada's most decorated Olympians, Andre De Grasse, on the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Expo Speaker Stage, and honestly? He deserves the hype. Seven Olympic medals. Co-flag bearer for Team Canada at the 2024 Paris Games. Canadian record holder in the 200 metres and the 4x100 relay. He's won World Championship medals and Diamond League titles, and he's currently ranked fifth in the world in the men's 200. And it all started with a dare: a friend challenged him to step off the basketball court and onto the track. He's also the author of two books, one for adults and one for kids, and he's filming a new season of his CBC Kids show, On Track with Andre De Grasse. With LA 2028 on the horizon, he has big plans, and it'll be truly thrilling to watch him get there.

Wendy Alexis
At 19, Wendy Alexis was forced out of track by injury. Decades later, she came back and became a multiple Canadian and world record holder. Wendy always believed she'd live a big life, full of travel and people. She never imagined a second career as a sprinter would take her there. She's also one of the most humble champions you'll ever meet. She's quick to credit her family, her support team, and the people who first encouraged her on the track and became family along the way. She plays down being a role model, but she is one: to her kids and grandkids, to the athletes she races with, and to a younger generation of runners watching what she does. Wendy sees herself as part of a legacy built by the people around her. What she may not see yet is that she's building one of her own. And it all comes back to one idea: when we show up for each other, anything is possible.

TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Women's Training Group
As we get deeper into fall race season, I'm happy to share this recording from the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Women's Training Group. Three years ago, Canada Running Series saw a need for more support for women training for the marathon and created this program to help fill that gap. It's an online community led by a coach, with weekly content designed to connect runners from across the country and provide support, encouragement, and connection throughout the training journey. Two of those wonderful participants, Anjali Anadkat and Gabriella Bueno, were kind enough to share their experiences and join Heather and me for a conversation about the ups and downs of training.

Lisa Sweetman
Lisa Sweetman is the kind of person you connect with the moment you meet her. She's funny, upbeat, kind, and incredibly generous with her time and talent. You'd never guess what she's been through with her health to get where she is today. Lisa wants to say yes to as much as she can and make her life as full and exciting as possible. That commitment to going wherever the trail takes her has made her an ultra trail runner, a teacher, an entrepreneur, co-race director of 5 Peaks Ontario, and a married mom of two. Calling her life busy is an understatement, and yet she's always looking for new ways to give back to the community she loves. I hope you feel Lisa's joy and enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Suzie Boucher-Lemay
Suzie Boucher-Lemay is both very serious about her training and goals, and deeply committed to keeping running fun and enjoyable. This mother of two has to stay organized to find time to train and race ultramarathons while balancing work, home, and life's other priorities. She has a competitive spirit, but she's just as focused on being in the moment, having fun, and connecting with volunteers and other runners. That balance is the true gift of Suzie's personality: finding the fun in a tough race, taking a moment to turn off her headlamp and look at the stars during a challenging night segment, and knowing her limits when the bad outweighs the good on an insanely muddy course. Suzie talks all about her adventures and shares plenty of practical tips, both for trail newbies and for road runners who might fall in love with trails too. Follow Suzie @suzie.b.lemay ----- EPISODE SPONSOR: Événements Gaspesia Ultra Trail Forillon Désjardins returns this September for its 5th edition in the wild and breathtaking landscapes of Gaspésie, Quebec.

Confession time. I love chocolate. I love it with a real passion. Like Bridgerton and Outlander kind of love. So when I found out I could use it to fuel my runs, all my dreams came true.

Bonnie Zink
Bonnie Zink was in a bad place. After crippling back pain led to subsequent surgeries, she found herself overweight, out of shape and taking medication for type 2 diabetes. After her last surgery at the age of 50, she was done letting pain run her life. So she started running it herself. It began with walks around the block and small lifestyle changes. It ended with her medications behind her and a half marathon finish line ahead. Bonnie's story proves that no vision for your future is too big—that with commitment and heart, at any age, you can take control of your health and your story. She started out chasing the role models who got her onto the road. Now she's become one herself, for her own adult kids.

Thomas Fafard
Thomas Fafard lived out his Olympic track dream in Paris, running in the finals of the Men's 5000. He calls it one of his best achievements, but also the end of one chapter and the start of the next. Thomas already holds the Quebec men's title in the half marathon, a mark he set in Houston and then broke again in Boston. Then, in his very first marathon at The Marathon Project in 2025, he smashed the Quebec men's full marathon record too. And still, this Brooks athlete knows he's got more to give. Now he's chasing something bigger: more fun, more speed, and another shot at the Olympic stage on the roads in LA.
