  • Ep. 121 Fit2Function. With Sarah Nurcombe
    Nov 4 2024
    “There's a lot of peace in the backcountry. So you find yourself completely by yourself. You may come across lots of animal tracks. Those are some of my favorite things. It's just peaceful and it's wild.”Sarah Nurcombe coaches trail running and Nordic skiing athletes in my new neck of the woods, Crowsnest Pass. The opportunity to interview someone in person was one I could not pass up and so it was an honour to chat with Sarah at our “Bushtown” kitchen table. She’s been in The Pass for 20 years and it was great to hear a bit about why she loves it so much. She also loves coaching athletes and she’s found it very rewarding to be a positive part of someone’s journey. That’s also been the case with her group runs where she gets to see so many people flourish.“Those aha moments. They suddenly either have a breakthrough, they suddenly understand something that they'd never understood before about running. And just to see confidence build in people, like the confidence, the camaraderie, right. They often meet people that they end up running trails with. I see them later on the trails running together. So those have been super rewarding for me.”I’m so glad Sarah was able to meet in person and I look forward to hosting more people at the kitchen table in the future! I’m sure you will enjoy learning about Sarah as much as I did. Be sure to let us know!It’s the debut of “The Miller Minutes”! Coach Andrew Miller and I are working together as I get ready for Moab Run the Rocks. It’s a segment I’m really excited about as we will chat for five minutes on the first Monday of each month and give you all a glimpse of what it’s like to work with a running coach. Andrew will break down what I’m doing and why I’m doing it so we understand his thought process of building my program. It’s informative and fun and make sure to let us know what you think as we work towards Moab! These episodes will get posted individually on the Wednesday after each release.Andrew was a guest on Community Trail Running in the past and you can listen to that episode and learn more about him:The Long RunEpisode 2 with Keeley Milne was another huge success.

  • Ep. 120 The Long Run. Featuring Keeley Milne
    Oct 28 2024

    “I knew that I was going to die and that was made very clear to me by people in the hospital and by a doctor that I had seen. And I knew I had very limited time. I was having a lot of seizures. Whenever alcohol got out of my system, I would have a seizure. So I was having to drink, even though I didn't want to.”

    Keeley Milne has faced difficult challenges in life. She’s persevered through dark times to lead the life she does today. She’s incredibly grateful for the support she’s had to get there and through that support she’s lived a sober life for the last 11 + years. She recognizes that everyone’s journey is different, but that everyone deserves another chance.

    “I guess that is, it's never ever too late and it's always worth it. There are people that care and will help even if you don't know them. It doesn't have to be AA, there's people out there, there's 24 hour hotlines that people will get you through until you can see somebody else. There are, there, there are people out there who care. And It's really never too late, no matter how many bridges you burn, no matter what you've done.”

    Keeley has done nothing but fall more in love with the sport of running during the last 11 years and is looking to attempt a 200 miler in Alberta. She’s always enjoyed challenging herself which is why she’s also working towards becoming a librarian, a childhood dream she’s getting closer to accomplishing. She’s also appreciated being an active mom to her son and having family in her life.

    All of it has given Keeley a unique perspective for her writing at Canadian Running Magazine. Chantelle and I were really grateful to have her on and share so openly about her struggles and triumphs. Her story is an inspiring one, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

  • Ep. 119 The Women’s Running Stories Podcast. With Cherie Louise Turner
    Oct 25 2024

    “I loved the medium of podcasting. I'd been a writer for my whole professional career. I loved radio and I loved this whole podcasting thing that was going on. I just didn't have an idea for a podcast.”

    Cherie Louise Turner has always enjoyed writing and telling stories, and she hosts a narrative-style podcast that perfectly suits her style. The Women’s Running Stories Podcast has evolved since she started it (including the name) and she’s enjoyed collaborating with others along the way. Collaboration is something that she’s embraced recently and is looking forward to doing more of that going forward. At the root of it though, she really just loves spotlighting amazing women.

    “I mean, lucky me and lucky anybody else who's covering women because there's so many great stories that just aren't even told yet. And I have learned so much just listening to these stories”

    Cherie was a joy to chat with. She’s thoughtful and passionate and it was fantastic listening to her share a bit of her story. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Make sure to let us know!
