10 LUG 2025 · This is #4 in our traveling podcaster series. I enjoy this type of format, and we hope to create more content like this. This time, I'm with my mic at the Tartan 5k Race in Moncton, speaking with some local runners who have just completed a Couch to 5k run. This is the end of the program, and we chat with Julie Stokes about the Couch to 5k program and some of the runners with her, as well as a few who joined in the fun.

1 LUG 2025 · We love welcoming guests back, and this one is special. Nicholas Richards returns to the podcast after his first appearance in Episode 150 – No Fear (if you missed that one, hit play—it’s worth it!). This time, Nick is back with even more incredible stories of pushing his limits for a powerful cause. On June 8th, he took on the Keji Backyard Ultra, running for 32 hours to raise awareness for mental health. As Nick puts it, "this is personal." And yes—the beard came off after this one. But that’s not all. Last year in October 2024, Nick had set his sights on an epic challenge: three laps of Cape Chignecto, covering over 153 km with a brutal 6,400 meters of vertical gain. It’s tough. It’s raw. And it’s exactly the kind of thing that shows what happens when you stare down suffering and conquer it. Get ready for another dose of inspiration, determination, and real talk about the connection between endurance and mental health.

19 GIU 2025 · In this episode of Motivate to Move, we sit down with ultra-trail runner Allison MacFadden — a woman who’s not just chasing big goals, she’s running straight through them, literally. Allison shares what it’s like to run across entire provinces — first PEI, then Nova Scotia — and why taking on these massive challenges helps her stay grounded, motivated, and in love with movement. But that’s not all. She’s also setting sail (literally) with her husband and two kids on a 7-month adventure aboard a 42-foot sailboat. Yup, you read that right. We talk about the power of jumping into something before you feel ready, how to stay fit in the open water, and why doing hard things with the people you love can change your life. Tune in for a healthy dose of inspiration, a few laughs, and proof that the best way to move forward is to just... jump in.

11 GIU 2025 · Ever wonder what it takes to run 100 miles through rain-soaked trails, deep into the night (and the next day)? Meet Nick Landry. In this episode, we chat with Nick about his incredible experience at the Riverlands 100, where he battled the elements for 30+ hours on a soggy, rugged course. With his wife, kids, and mom supporting him as crew, Nick powered through four 25-mile laps, staying strong and well ahead of the 32-hour cutoff. He came prepared with a list of only three reasons he’d allow himself to quit: a broken leg, failure to keep down calories/fluids, or hypothermia. Spoiler alert: he needed none of them. Alongside his good friend Greg Myth, who also crushed his first 100-miler, Nick proves that grit, support, and a good sense of humor can get you through even the muddiest miles. Tune in for an inspiring look at what’s possible when you keep moving—no matter what the trail (or weather) throws at you.
Nick writes the best race reports after a big event, and I would suggest checking them out with the link below.

22 MAG 2025 · What drives someone to push their limits and give back to the community at the same time? In this episode, we chat with Claudianne Robichaud, who’s gearing up to bike her longest ride of the year at an upcoming Gran Fondo. On top of that, she played a key role in organizing the 2025 Run for Women in Moncton and many years helping with Legs for Literacy. Claudianne shares what keeps her motivated, the joy of being involved in local events, and why staying active is more than just fitness—it’s about connection, purpose, and having fun along the way.

15 MAG 2025 · In this episode, I take my mic on the road again for the second time to Centennial Park for the 2025 Run for Women. My first interview is with Laura Harris, who finished first overall with a time just over 21 minutes. The speakers make it hard to hear Laura, but after that, we got into a more optimal sound area where you can listen to the interviews more clearly. Hopefully, I will get better at this. We also chat with Sebastien Godin, Michaela Forgeron, Andre Boulard, and Diane Trites. Hopefully, you enjoy our Travelling Podcast Series and tune in next time for another awesome interview.

9 MAG 2025 · Tonight we welcome a very special guest, BACK to our show, Jos Eijkelestam from Dutch Viking Events. Jos spends many hours coming up with events that he and his volunteer crew put on for anyone who enjoys trail running. We talk about the events that Jos has planned this year, we discuss some events he is going to drop and why. Out of bad news comes silver linings, and we talk with Jos about one of those good news stories. After competing in the Dark 50 two years ago, I see firsthand how Passionate Jos is about creating events that everyone loves. At the end of the day, people were still smiling. We know Dutch Viking Events is going to have a stellar year, and I can't wait to register ASAP.

27 APR 2025 · I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and interview some fine runners before and after a race. What better time to start than to head out to Grande-Digue for the annual 5-15 km runs and do some interviews? It is a well-run event, and it is a shame to hear this could be the last year for the run. In this episode, I take my new mic and chat with several different people to get their take on several things about the race. A different way of doing content, but I really enjoyed myself, and so did these runners. Windy and cool with some rain early, but a typical day for this time of year. Let us know what you think, folks, later.

17 APR 2025 · Sometimes, in life, you meet people with a positive outlook who inspire everyone around them. This week's guests, Mike Hanson and Dave Morin, do exactly that. Mike and Dave are setting out to raise $1 million by running 10 marathons in 10 days in 10 provinces, 10in10in10. Raising awareness and money for Autism Aspergers Friendship Society, KidSport, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Starting in St. John's, Newfoundland, on May 16th and finishing up in Calgary, Alberta Sunday, May 25. We discuss where the idea of 10in10in10 came from, how it started, and how it was planned. The training and planning for this run are challenging, and the mileage can be tough. We are going to link the contact email below and the 10in10in10 website. We hope our listeners consider donating any amount they can afford for this amazing challenge. A great discussion with some great people for a great cause, how can you say no? Be safe out there.
