The marathon is a gruelling 42.2km race that catches the imaginations of nearly everyone who comes in contact with the event. The runners who choose to take it on are usually a tough breed, and true workhorses. On this week's show we take a look at the Speed River marathon group, a collection of athletes who fit the description above and have also done impressive things with the distance. We'll chat with 2x Olympian and fastest active marathoner, Reid Coolsaet about being with the club since the beginning, the camaraderie that exists within the group, and the elusive national record. Also, we meet up with Krista Duchene, also an Olympian and the second fastest female Canadian marathoner of all time. Finally, we'll hear some stories from Rob Winslow, a 2:19 marathoner who will certainly be making a name for himself in the near future!
