Picture this: Colin, diagnosed with MS, decides that running is his new jam. Half marathons? Pfft, child’s play. He goes full ultra mode because, well, why not? Who needs logic when you’ve got determination, stubbornness, and a dash of insanity?
So, there he is, slogging through ultras like it’s a Netflix series he can’t quit. Shoes? He’s gone through more pairs than a centipede at a sneaker sale. He’s tried every running nutrition product on the market—gels, bars, gummies, mystery powders with labels in seven languages. If it says “boost performance” on the label, you can bet Colin’s given it a shot. Spoiler alert: none of them tasted like actual food.
And the best part? He never. Stops. Talking. Colin could turn a two-mile jog into a TED Talk. From gear reviews to MS pep talks to “how to stay motivated when your feet hate you,” he’s got a story for everything.
If laughter is the best medicine, then Colin’s antics are the ultimate prescription—and not a bad start for a podcast either.

Meet Andrew, the runner who’s more inspired by the sight of a pan chocolat than by any training plan.
Andrew’s approach is the complete opposite. Why train when you can take rest days like a champ? Andrew’s philosophy is simple: if there’s no coffee or pastry involved, why bother? His training regimen could be described as “carbo-load first, maybe jog later.”
Andrew’s the type of guy who shows up at the starting line of an event just because it sounds like a fun adventure—no preparation, no problem!
With a belly full of jelly (and we’re not talking muscles), he’s ready to take on the world, one unplanned race at a time. Who needs a structured workout when you’ve got excitement and a sweet tooth fueling you?
After all, as any good running idiot will tell you, it’s not about the destination or the journey—it’s about the snacks along the way!
