Runner 3 2 1 - With Amanda Mills Sirois #172
19 JUL. 2024 · Amanda Mills Sirois is our special guest this week and it is exciting to have her on our show. Amanda started running indirectly because of a 5km wine run, and things took off from that point. With her running partner Allison, they ran the Ottawa marathon and came close to qualifying for Boston. Hired a coach to help with qualifying, job done. Raised money in support of Down Syndrome and ran the legendary Boston Marathon. Amanda was not done yet, not even close. Managed to run all 6 of the major marathons in 4 years, how does one top that? Well Marathon Pour Tous in France, that's how. Recreational or non-elite athletes have been invited to participate in an Olympic event for the first time. Running the same course as the marathon athletes and with an Olympic medal in 2024, amazing.

Joyce the Catcher King - With Joyce King #171
11 JUL. 2024 · Diane lined up a fantastic guest for our episode this week, Joyce King from Lower Hainesville N.B. Many of you don't know that Joyce was a champion arm wrestler. Even crazier is the fact Joyce started at the late age of 30. Skip ahead 10 years and Joyce defeated a Russian rival super heavyweight to become the best female arm wrestler in the world. I was unaware of this, but Joyce competed with her right and left arm over her career. Joyce earned 18 national championships and 18 World Arm Wrestling Federation medals, she won 12 gold, four silver, and two bronze medals. Inducted into the Canadian Arm Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2011. Inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, on October 15, 2021. Joyce the Catcher King was her nickname and for good reason. I don't want to spoil it here but you should listen to the episode and find out why the Catcher King is so appropriate. A wonderful episode and I am sure our audience will enjoy this one a ton.

You can run, walk jog, and volunteer and it is a free event. This happens every Saturday at 9 AM all over the world. Very interesting to hear Bob tell us about everything Parkrun.

Gran Fondo PEI - With Amir Zuccolo #167
12 JUN. 2024 · Our guest this evening was a heavy smoker and in 2006 started cycling. Amir had no idea how much this would change her life. Amir has done a famous ride called the Golden Triangle twice. Riding from Banff to Golden in one day, Golden to Radium the next day, and from Radium back to Banff the third day. works out to roughly 100 km daily and has incredible elevations and scenery. Now Amir focuses more on trail running and includes strength training and yoga to keep on trucking. Amir has a goal of running a 50 km trail run in every Province, awesome. Coaching kids to help them ride confidently, Amir is a busy lady with her hands on many different things. Now she is in charge of this awesome ride in PEI called the Gran Fondo, the 11th year for the big ride across PEI. This ride has been designed to show the best parts of PEI and because it is a recreational ride you can stop along the way and visit local shops and experience some of the local cuisine. Friday, August 23rd to the 25th, register through Race Roster and hurry because there are only 300 spots total and it is filling fast. Amir and her group have thought of everything for the Gran Fondo and we are sure the event will go off without a hitch, I can't wait to hear about it after the fact. At the end of this episode, Amir shares a shocking story with us and I was left speechless. Luckily, Amir overcame all this adversity and has been killing it ever since.

An in-depth look at the speeding Cheetahs - With Ryan O'Shea and Nathaniel Couture # 166
6 JUN. 2024 · Tonight we welcome two very special guests back to our show. Nathaniel Couture and Ryan O'Shea are on our podcast again and we were very excited to welcome them and they have brought three very special guests with them. With Nathaniel is his son Sam who is 14 and with Ryan is his son Liam who is 13 and his daughter Amelia who is 9. Tonight's episode will focus on the Speeding Cheetahs and what young ones think about the group. What it is like to lead some of the younger children. With 233 registered kids for the Spring, it is easy to say kids want to run, and Ryan and Nathaniel are filling this vital role. This episode is packed with great stories by the children and some jokes. Diane and I do a lot of laughing, the kids are wonderful and we now know kids just want to run. Having 13-14-year-olds helping to coach younger kids to run is an amazing idea. And the puddle jumping sounds like such fun I want to give it a go. We hope other groups will start up after hearing this episode. Sit back and munch on some popcorn with your family, get out with everyone, and go for a run.

30 MAY. 2024 · In this episode, Diane and I chat about some real-life issues we have run into recently. How we struggle to stay motivated and what we are doing now to keep on moving. Life can be a tricky balance of family, work, and even the weather. Just because we are on the other side of the mic doesn't mean things are always rosy. We wanted to share some of the issues we face in hopes others who struggle will keep up the good fight to stay motivated. There are ups and downs for all of us and I hope people who listen will realize they are not alone.

A stress purge - with Sebastien Godin # 164
23 MAY. 2024 · We welcome Sebastien Godin Back to our podcast this evening, Sebastien was with us way back on episode 16, over 3 years ago. Sebastien quit drinking and smoking lost 100 pounds, got into shape, and started running all sorts of distances including marathons. Bucket list in hand Sebastien set out to break some personal goals. He qualified for Boston but had some issues on the course and wanted to redeem himself. After only 4 weeks Sebastien ran the Fredericton marathon to qualify for Boston next year. Beat the qualifying time for Boston by 5:45, it's close but we here at Motivate to Move believe Sebastien has it all under control. Working on track workouts and interval training has made Sebastien a faster runner, training and a coach made all the difference. Sebastien shares a wonderful story where he found a full pack of cigarettes while on a trail and you should hear how he handled the situation. Sebastien won the Sylvio Bourque Memorial Award (Inspirational Person of the Year) at the RunNB Awards in 2023. Sebastien has recently become a RunNB member willing to help the organization in any way he can, awesome. If you need some inspiration or maybe a little nudge to get motivated again, listen to this episode, it is worth your time.

This water feels so good - With Julie Stokes #163
17 MAY. 2024 · Tonight's very special guest comes to us from Riverview NB and is part of the Riverview Running Idiots like myself and Diane, it was a pleasure to welcome Julie Stokes to our show. Julie Stokes is the Supervisor of Water & Wastewater for the City of Moncton, NB where she assists in the supervision of the Municipality’s Water & Wastewater Operations. Julie has lived in Riverview for 4 years even though the plan was to stay only 2. Started running in the Fall of 2012 on a dare and a few pops. Proved to herself that she could run and went to Ottawa in May 2013 for her first 10km race, had an amazing experience in Ottawa, and was hooked. Joined the running room clinics, first came the 10km clinic and somewhere along the way, she was told she would never finish a half-marathon race, Oh yeah, watch me now. "Gremlins in my head" is a great story you need to hear from Julie as she learns to shut down her negative thoughts. Thanks to a Covid Garmin watch gift to her daughter, Julie had a run partner through Covid. Don't forget Julie shares silly sewer stories while running and she has some good ones. Enjoys camping and now runs on the trails in Fundy Park.
