Today I’m joined by my favourite repeat guest — and husband — Johnny Coffin, who just smashed through the 35-minute barrier with a 34:49 at the Canadian 10K Championships in Ottawa! 🇨🇦🔥

We recap our whirlwind weekend at the Ottawa Race Weekend, which came together very last-minute after a chaotic week of travel, a blown tire, and minimal sleep. Despite it all, we both rallied — Johnny with his biggest 10K breakthrough to date, and me with a 42:49 finish I’m genuinely proud of.

We dive into:

🟢 Johnny’s Project Sub-35 journey
🟢 Why 10Ks are deceptively tough
🟢 How we trained and what we felt going into the race
🟢 How it all played out on race day
🟢 And of course… the people, the energy, and the magic of Ottawa Race Weekend 💫

Headphones may be recommended if little ears are around… Johnny’s getting very comfortable behind the mic. 😂
