    Ep. 103 Bush Babes and Bros. With Dawna Jodoin
    Jul 8 2024

    Dawna Jodoin of Bush Babes and Bros loves trail running. She coaches, she organizes clinics, and she’s a race director. Even though it involves a ton of computer time, she still loves being the one to get people onto trails and help them discover Vernon, BC and the surrounding area. This passion for the sport is what has kept her going for so long and why she’s excited for the future. She just loves the sport and supporting athletes so much, it’s part of who she is.

    Dawna was a pleasure to chat with and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Make sure to check out Bush Babes and Bros to see what they are all about and let us know what you thought of our chat!

  • Ep. 102 In between trail naps. With Aum Gandhi

    Ep. 102 In between trail naps. With Aum Gandhi
    Jul 1 2024
    “100 mile races definitely feel like a lifetime already, 200 miles at some point, you've just been there your whole life. Like, this is what you do, this is my job. I live in Tahoe and I hike these trails. I will preface by saying that I normally have very standard hallucinations, but this time I did see a moving stegosaurus.”Aum Gandhi recently completed the Jurassic Park version of the Tahoe 200. Aum is no stranger to the 200 mile distance, but he’s still learning and experiencing new things each time he’s out there. He’s working towards the Triple Crown of 200 milers, with Bigfoot 200 next on the docket. It was a blast chatting with him about what it’s like being out there for 200 miles. He’s humble and funny about the experience which I really love. When it comes to really loving something, Aum definitely feels that way about being out on the trails, but he also has as much passion for his role at Run Tri Bike. Aum is all about pushing the sport forward through the voices of everyday athletes, as Run Tri Bike believes there is a place at the start line for everybody and every body. “There's always the correction. People say, “I don't have a story” and I tell them wrong. Everybody has a story. And we just want to give that space to everybody and, you know, just have fun while we're doing it.” Aum was a treat to chat with, I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. I love that I get to work with Aum and Jason on Food Fight Friday because it’s fun and it means I get to stay in contact with these two. Let us know what you think of the show in the comments!Food Fight Friday with Jason BahamundiI’ve given Food Fight Friday its own section here on the website and it will publish as its own separate podcast now. You will still get notified when it goes up, but it should make everything more organized and clear from my end. I’m hoping this will make things more obvious for you the reader/listener and add to the experience. The show has been a ton of fun as Jason and I give each other 3 ridiculous aid station food choices and we have to decide which we’d eat, which we’d carry, and which we’d toss. Check out the latest and let us know what you think:#Naaksquad - Try it and get 15% offI enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me.

    Food Fight Friday: Weekend "Entertainment"
    Jun 28 2024

    Jason Bahamundi and I are officially doing “Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station” twice a month now, and I’m going to post these segments properly on my side as well. This episode I get to bring the food choices to Jason, and as I did last time, I’ve stayed north of the border for my inspiration

    For those who haven’t caught it yet, Jason and I have to decide whether we will carry, toss, or eat three food choices.

    Today, Adam presented three choices to Jason. The three options are all based out of Newfoundland and are:

    1- Fish and Brewis: this dish is made with salt cod and hard tack (bread) along with scrunchions (salted pork)2- Fries, Dressing and Gravy: a dish that is equivalent to leftover American Thanksgiving with French Fries instead of turkey.3- Newfoundland Snowballs: soft chocolate fudgeballs made with sugar, melted butter, milk, oats, coconut and coconut oil.What did Jason decide and which would you eat, carry or toss?

    You will be able to download these as podcasts as well, so you can take this in through video or audio, whatever your preference. Check out Run Tri Bike Mag through this link and let us know if you are enjoying it and any other comments you may have!

    Check out the previous episodes we’ve done so you’re all caught up:

  • Ep. 101 7 Summits Snacks. With Kristyn Carriere

    Ep. 101 7 Summits Snacks. With Kristyn Carriere
    Jun 24 2024
    “Our vision is that sports nutrition should taste amazing. Not that it should taste good. It should taste amazing. There's no reason why it shouldn't. And so we're on this quest to bring functional sports nutrition to folks and we're doing that in the realm of chocolate.”Kristyn Carriere has spent her life working in chocolate. So when 7 Summits Snacks was launched, she knew what she was doing when it came to creating the product but selling the product was a whole new endeavor. How hard can it be to sell chocolate right?Hard. Like most things actually, it turned out to be much harder than anticipated. 200 stores from coast to coast in Canada later, Kristyn and the team are finding their way, but it’s been tougher than she expected. She’s a runner as well so the challenge of finding their way has been a welcome one, even if it’s more than she expected. “The competition out there in both the chocolate and the nutrition space is huge so building a brand has been a lot harder than I thought and convincing folks that chocolate is actually a functional food or can be a functional food is also way harder than i expected it to be. So there's lessons every week when i'm just like “oh yeah I can't take it for granted that everyone's like me and just thinks that chocolate is the best thing on earth”. They'll eat chocolate flavored stuff. But the thought of having a chocolate bar is still a huge barrier for a lot of folks mentally. Just based on our programming as children and being told like, oh, this is only a treat. So we're trying to break down really deep belief systems for folks and just reeducate them that it can be a functional food as well.”Kristyn was so much fun to chat with as I loved how open she was about competing in the space, especially after having such an emotional launching of the business. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did and you will think about chocolate a little different now that 7 Summit Snacks is changing the game! #Naaksquad - Try it and get 15% offI enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me.

    Weekend "Entertainment"
    Jun 22 2024

    Jason Bahamundi and I are officially doing “Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station” twice a month now, and I’m going to post these segments properly on my side as well. The latest episode brings us together after Jason crewed 50 miles of Aum Gandhi’s Tahoe 200 and I just finished 9 laps of the Grouse Grind Challenge. So we were both a little punchy and probably in the perfect headspace for this conversation!

    For those who haven’t caught it yet, Jason and I have to decide whether we will carry, toss, or eat three food choices.In today’s show, Jason presented Adam with these options:• French Toast with maple 🍁 syrup and powdered sugar that has to be eaten without utensils.• Two-day-old gas station sushi that has been sitting in the sun because the volunteer forgot to put it on ice.• A sloppy Joe that has been ‘spiced’ with a ghost pepper and there are no napkins to wipe your hands or mouth after you’ve eaten it.What are you choosing to eat, toss, or carry? Does it match our choices?Next week I get to turn it around on Jason and I’ll present him with three choices. I’ll be searching “Coast to Coast” up here in the great white north for my food options, maybe you have some ideas of your own?!

    You will be able to download these as podcasts as well, so you can take this in through video or audio, whatever your preference. Check out Run Tri Bike Mag through this link and let us know if you are enjoying it and any other comments you may have!

  • Ep. 100 Ice Cream, donuts and film fest. With Jeannine Avelino

    Ep. 100 Ice Cream, donuts and film fest. With Jeannine Avelino
    Jun 17 2024
    “We go for the run and then I see them enjoying themselves and then they come back for another run and that's when I know like, okay, this was a good thing. And then I'm glad they stuck with us and I'm glad that we had this event to help draw new people. It's a great sport and everybody should give it a try sometime in a non-pressure situation.”Jeannine and I have been friends since we worked together at CTV and if you asked us both about trail running when we first met at the station many years ago, I’m not sure we would have had much to say! We both got into the sport around the same time and it made our friendship grow, which I’m so grateful for! Not only did our friendship grow, but I got to see Jeannine find and create community in the sport, which has been so inspiring. It’s awesome we’ve both found a home in the sport, and to be able to work together to bring the Trail Running Film Festival to 5 different locations was an honour for me. It’s also an honour for me anytime I can get out and join a group that Jeannine has organized, which I got to do over the weekend with the Ice Cream and Donut Run Club. It was so fun to join so many people and know that Jeannine plays such a big role in it all. She just wants to share the sport and I love that.“As a back-of-the-pack runner, mid-pack runner, I don't feel comfortable when people just go and never look back. It's like, why am I joining a club? So I like that that's a big part of our group runs so that everybody feels welcome and comfortable. We've had new people join us and thank us like, “oh wow, I've always hesitated joining clubs but I'm really glad I joined yours because like I feel welcomed and I'm still with you guys I'm still not I'm not lost in the woods.”Check out more about ICDRC and follow Jeannine or her media page along while you’re at it. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. I always love chatting with Jeannine and to be able to record episode 100 with her is something I’m really pumped for! Let us know what you think and if the ICDRC is something you’d like to try! #Naaksquad - Try it and get 15% offI enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me.

  • Ep. 98 Crowsnest Pass. With Susan and Ian Lowe-Wylde

    Ep. 98 Crowsnest Pass. With Susan and Ian Lowe-Wylde
    Jun 3 2024
    “It's going to be a challenge and yes, it's scary, but I know it's going to be a lot easier than being a race director. And I think it's important that runners know that and really appreciate race directors because it's a lot of hard work. And we're so lucky that there are so many races that we can now pick from.” - Susan Lowe-Wylde on running the Minotaur after directing it for many yearsSusan and Ian Lowe-Wylde own spry in Blairmore, Alberta, which is in the Crowsnest Pass region of Alberta. With Rocky Mountains on one side and prairie land on the other, the couple of 40 years love the variety of terrain in the region. They are always looking for adventure as they love being the ones that know the spots nobody else does. This passion and drive for the outdoors is a big reason why they love calling the Crowsnest Pass region home. They’ve witnessed a lot of change and growth over the years and their proud they’ve been part of that growth. The pass is becoming more and more popular with trail runners which has been good for their shop, and the fact they are so involved in the community means runners and outdoor enthusiasts get many opportunities to interact with them. Susan and Ian wanted to make a difference for runners and their downtown with spry, and they had to trust the process to get there. It wasn’t easy in the beginning.“Our mindset is that, yeah, you know what? (The store’s) probably not making money right now. We don't care. We're gonna make it great. So we just, we bought the right stuff and we did it the right way, even though there wasn't really a return on it for quite a few years. And I think now, now it is a really good, curated selection of stuff for running and, and hiking and climbing. And it's an interesting mix, it didn't just happen overnight.” - Ian Lowe-WlydeSusan and Ian were really fun to chat with. A couple that’s been together for 40 years knows each other so well and it was fun getting their history from both of them. They’re all about getting outdoors and sharing that love with others and we definitely benefit from having folks like this in our community! I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did and it gets you excited for all the film festival dates this week!
