  • Summary

  • “Recovery is a huge part of my life today. Without that, I would be completely fucked, for the lack of better words. Running is just an extension of my recovery. It keeps me mentally sane. It keeps me physically healthy. It keeps me goal-oriented and motivated. It's just another one of those tools that I use to stay healthy, stay fit, be a better person, and live a good life.”Lee Murphy may use running as a tool like many others do, but he may push it a little further than the average person. Lee is the Canadian Backyard Ultra champion after running an incredible 456 km (68 yards) at the event in October. He’s driven and able to push himself to great lengths, but at the root of it is simply a desire to live healthy and move his body. Staying healthy and staying social is also why he loves running, as running is often where he finds time to socialize outside of a busy work and family schedule. Through all of that, he just wants to see what his body can do in this crazy sport.We’re on the journey to 2000 subscribers! Help us get there“Years ago when I just finished my first 100 miles or first 100k and three years later be thinking about doing 400k and 500 kilometers and 600k. You know that's why I call it an illness, it's like a progressive illness because it gets worse and it never gets better.”Lee has a great sense of humour to go along with his incredible spirit to always push further. I really enjoyed our conversation and I think you will enjoy his insights as well. Let us know what you think and if you are considering a backyard-style race!The Long RunEpisode 3 with Matt Geofroy and Kortnee Borden of Crossing Lines went up last week and we are honoured to share a bit of their story. The downloads have piled up and Chantelle and I are excited to bring you three more episodes starting in January. In the meantime, make sure to check out the latest episode if you haven’t already:Food Fight FridayThe latest episode of Food Fight Friday with Jason Bahamundi went up over the weekend as well. This is always a lot of fun for me as Jason and I get to joke around and do the light-hearted segment together. It’s a nice break and just fun to have some laughs with him. The latest episode was Black Friday themed and we had as much fun as we always do:#Naaksquad - Try it and get 15% offI enjoy the Naak products, even if the sauces took a few tries to grow on me.
