Tonight's special guest is Alvin Richard and Alvin gets us started by talking about how he had a resurgence in running back in 2019. He ended up breaking 50 minutes for a 10km run, something he hadn't done in 10 years. Alvin tells about how he discovered someone that decided to run every street in Toronto as a pandemic project, all 10,000. Alvin starts planning on running all the streets in Moncton. The app that was being used was called City Strides and Alvin started using it. Now running all the streets in the city was manageable, way easier than printing out every street and colour codding them. After that, we get into Alvin's injuries and there is a great deal to talk about. It's amazing how Alvin never gave up and he kept ongoing. Yes, some years were lean on running but Alvin always came back somehow, simply amazing. We talk about how long Alvin has been running and what got him started down this path. At 15 years old Alvin knew someday he would run the Boston marathon, we talk about how Alvin came to this conclusion and the journey he took to get to his very first marathon. Alvin is such a wealth of knowledge and his stories are simply the best. This is just the first part of the interview so make sure you tune in next week for the second part of this episode.
