Loosen your collar
Shake off the wires
Run like a river
Glow like a beacon fire
Words written by Bry Webb on the banks of the Speed River in Guelph, Ontario immortalized by his band the Constantines in their song Young Lions. Without realizing it, Webb seems to have summed up the spirit of the running community, specifically the Speed River Track And field club in that city, running like the river its named after, swift and almost unstoppable and glowing in the pride of their hard work.
On this weeks show, Guelph also happens to be the binding tie between our two topics...first we talk with current Guelph resident and recently crowned Canadian 10km champion Eric Gillis about his race in Ottawa last weekend, trying to qualifying for Rio and fatherhood. Then we talk to Chris Moulton and preview the Speed River Inferno, a meet attracting talent world wide happening this Saturday, that you will not want to miss.
