2:10:09. It's a number that has seemed to get bigger with each of the 43 passing years, and every talented, hardworking runner to taking aim at it. Every year there would be renewed buzz...maybe this is the year it happens. Well, here we are, that 2:10:09 has been knocked down to 2:09:25, Fukuoka turned to Toronto Waterfront and where we used to see the name Jerome Drayton, we now see one Cameron Levins. While for many years, this just seemed like an inevitability, Cam's story is not just made up of a British Columbian who ran big mileage and did well in college, it's a tale of setbacks and comebacks, falling down and the persistence needed to get back up. On this week's show, we chat with Cam Levin's the new Canadian Marathon record holder. We also chat with Alan Brookes, the race director of the Scotia Toronto Waterfront Marathon, and he'll offer his perspective on the day's events.
