Sherab M. is a longtime Toronto runner, having run the New York City marathon ten times, competed in South Africa’s Comrades Ultramarathon numerous times, and run The Boston Marathon 17 times! With these impressive stats, it may be surprising to learn not too long ago, Sherab "threw everything out” in her training approach before starting anew. Sherab shares why she took that action and what her running experiences are like today. She recently competed in the London marathon and we were both in Toronto in mid October where she ran the half and my son ran his first marathon. It was a spectacular race day!

Sherab offers so many interesting insights into her race experiences as well as she helps us think differently about training. Please join us for an informative listen!

In today's episode, we hear from Laura H. as she shares some friendly and social aspects of the running community. After racing in a 5K, Laura joined local running clubs gradually increasing her mileage as she learned about racing opportunities.  Before long, Laura was racing in half marathons and marathons, competing in the Covered Bridges Half Marathon in Vemont before entering in the Disney marathon in Orlando, Florida six months later. In 2003, Laura qualified for Boston at Disney.

Having run The Boston Marathon seven times, Laura helps us see how she organizes her race schedule. Competing in many marathons before taking a break, Laura is returning to the sport this year having joined a 12-week training program. Lastly, Laura takes us along on some of her favorite international races including marathons in England and Australia.
