Olympian, Pan-Am and NACAC bronze medalist, 3:34 1,500m and 3:54 miler...take your pick, those all sound like descriptors that we'd all like. And though he check all of those boxes, when I think of Charles Philibert-Thiboutot, those things aren't even the first to come to mind, I think more of a gutsy racer, not afraid to take control of a race, an adventurous runner constantly pushing to be the best, not just in his home of Quebec, in Canada, but the world. Charles is not only a top tier racer, but a Canadian track and field advocate...it's my belief that competitive running in this country is better off because of him. Whether it's gathering together friends to build top level fields in local events, or keeping in contact and cheering on some of our most promising athletes. This week, I'm happy to say we have C.P.T back with us...we chat about everything from building a better domestic race scene, patience in recovery, strength building, altitude, everything you could possibly want to know about him….oh yeah, we also hear about a planned race debut as well!
