Podcast Overview

Sorry, we're not feeding killer tarantulas and trying to find King Tut here. Just a trail runner, named Gillian (pronouns: she/her). I have a dream of setting a new Women's Supported FKT (Fastest Known Time) on the Bruce Trail --Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath that stretches approximately 900K from Niagara to Tobermory, Ontario. You're welcome to join me, as I have conversations with fellow runners, learn from adventure seekers, and ultimately recruit people to help me on my attempt. No matter what, let's have a Fun, Kick-ass Time doing it!

Fangirling over Steve and Jade

Yup. I admit to being a "fangirl". In this episode, I fangirled over watching Western States and then fangirl even harder over Steve and Jade's recent attempt to do their own FKT on the Bruce Trail. :D Steve and Jade are 2 outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers who did their own "Fear Know Trail" (FKT) run on the Bruce from June 11 to June 23, running from Niagara to Tobermory in 12 days and 13 hours. I joined them for part of their run when they ran through Owen Sound (check out my previous episode from June) and you can jump to about 26 minutes in to hear our chat about their experience. I gush about my fascination with their decision to go Northbound, ask how the idea for this adventure came to be and how they made it all work, while also sharing some of my own anxieties and musings about tackling the Bruce. If you start from the top of this (long, yes, very long) episode, you'll hear me check in with myself about training set backs and how I haven't been believing in what I say. I have, however, always believed that you when meet certain people and encounter certain stories, it all happens for a reason. We all have the power to make choices to seek out what we need. And whether I knew it or not, I Needed to see Steve and Jade's Fear Know Trail run in June and I'm so glad I did! I can't stress enough how following along with, meeting, and chatting with Steve and Jade has inspired me to believe in myself and mindfully developing my own approach to the Big Dance with the Bruce, no matter what it may look like. Thank you, Steve and Jade. *HUGS* Connect with Steve and Jade's Fear Know Trail story as it continues: https://www.instagram.com/fearknowtrail https://www.fearknowtrail.com/ Their recent podcast interview with Shawn Sobon on Trail Tales ARP that digs into more details about their adventure: https://open.spotify.com/episode/06pb1XklWL8t0EQXT8jDEZ?si=xVSZpzmFS-uiQLl225T5kQ&dl_branch=1&nd=1 Video version of that podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fZTLJv101Q&t=11s About Eat Local Grey Bruce: http://eatlocalgreybruce.ca/ Give to Donate to Eat Local Grey Bruce's Zero Waste Project: https://ca.gofundme.com/f/eat-local-grey-bruce-zero-waste-support Where to find Billy Yang's interview with Katie Asmuth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0XTNoSTF0U https://open.spotify.com/episode/4qJCt6kK2pVtDsfnJsA6CN?si=_8AwiX4ORueX_YtaiuSITQ&dl_branch=1&nd=1 Scott and Jenny Jurek's book, North: http://www.scottjurek.com/north

Morning Adventure to Find Steve Kenny

It's been 2 months since I last recorded and yes, I am still alive. More on the aliveness later. :)  I went out to meet Steve Kenny who is currently running a supported FKT Northbound attempt on the Bruce Trail today!! The morning adventure prompted me to sit my butt down to remember this moment with a podcast episode. I was so excited to meet him and his crew which consisted of his wife Jade and his sister, whom I forgot the name of but shares my love for Endurance Tap (Jenny? Sorry!). Also very happy to be able to dust off my cowbell, run with him as a sign of support for his ambitious goal, and check out more of the Bruce! I said he was on Day 8 in my recording, but he was actually on Day 9, and looking steady and strong!! Please see below for relevant links such as the live tracker and how to donate and find out more info to support Eat Local Grey Bruce, a non-profit co-operative and online farmer's market, that Steve Kenny is running to raise funds for!

Adventure as Adults and Pursuing a Pandemic Pivot with Stephanie Hurtado

Stephanie Hurtado is a trail and ultrarunner who wears many hats. She's a mom, a wife, an ER nurse, host of the Running Divine podcast, all around adventure seeker, and proponent of the pandemic pivot. I have her to thank for many things, one of which is meeting Bruce!  It's only my second time recording in April, so I review what's been up since late March and the changes to my training so far in April. I'm feeling better since my last episode and guess who's doing long runs now?! :D Check out Stephanie's Running Divine Podcast, where she shares many inspiring adventure stories! https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/running-divine-podcast/id1417290907
