When did you first fall in love with running?

After more than 250 episodes and one question asked over and over again—When did you first fall in love with running?—This special clip show brings together some of my favourite answers from the archives. From Olympians and Team Canada athletes who seemed destined to run, to everyday runners whose journeys began with friendship, community, adventure, or self-discovery, these stories highlight the many ways people find their way into the sport. Along the way, you'll hear funny memories, unexpected moments, inspiring reflections, and reminders that running is about so much more than miles and finish lines. Featuring Lanni Marchant, Sarah Wells, Natasha Wodak, Leslie Sexton, Malindi Elmore, Angela Whyte, Jess O'Connell, Shanda Hill, Melanie Murzeau, Nadya Stewart, Gen Lalonde, and many more, this episode is a celebration of the people, places, and experiences that make us fall in love with running—and keep us coming back. ---- EPISODE SPONSOR: ALTITUDE SPORTS [This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign led by the Podpass agency for Altitude Sports] Shop now at Altitude Sports and enjoy up to 20% off your first order with the promo code "RUNCANADA2026"  Click here to order 👉https://bit.ly/altitude-runcanada2026 You need to create an account or sign in to access the discount.
