This week Shan and I review our years in running from 2024. We both had our ups and downs, but overall it was a fantastic year. We chat Highlights, lowlights, favourite races, memorable runs and future goals amongst other things. Check it out! Oh, and happy new years!

This week I chat with Colleen Quigley: Olympian, lululemon ambassador, mentor, advocate and so much more.
Colleen shares the story of her rise in the sport, from her collegiate days to becoming one of the top steeplechasers in the world. We talk about the tough lessons learned from injury setbacks, and how those challenges have shaped her approach to training, competition and leadership.

We also discuss the evolving role of social media in connecting with fans, her foray into cycling and triathlon, and ultimately how she is getting back into her running groove.

This was a fun chat, I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and there is also a quick training update w/ Shan at the end :)

Rob and Shan drove down to Sacramento for the California International Marathon and Rob dropped and absolute stinker, but it was still pretty fun. Listen as we breakdown the trip and our theories on what might have gone wrong.
