The Shakeout Podcast: 20 Days, 885K, 8% Vision

The Shakeout Podcast: The Audible Energy of the Race Announcer
Could you imagine being at a race –in complete silence? A big part of the race experience is the sound of the race: motivational music, the countdown to the start, and hearing the finisher’s names as they cross the line. It is a spectacle, and it should be. In most cases runners arrive at a race in the mindset that this is not just an every day training run, and all of the sights and sounds on race day feed into that feeling that this is special.
The Shakeout Podcast: Why Toronto is a Great Running City

Or, ready access to water fountains and public washrooms for regular and irregular pit-stops? #365daysofrunning, day 365. 1876 km, 4 pairs of shoes, -30 to 34 degrees, 0 days off. Nap time.
The Shakeout Podcast: The High Risks of Running
On August 30, 2016, elite ultrarunner Adam Campbell was alpine running in the Selkirk Mountains, and fell. He fell over 200 feet and found himself lying face down in a pile of rocks and surrounded by blood. Incredibly, he survived, but had to battle back from a broken pelvis and spine. On this week’s episode of The Shakeout, we take you back to our conversation with Campbell, who talks about the harrowing accident and the dramatic journey of his recovery and return to racing.

The Shakeout Podcast: The Dirty Race
On this week’s episode, we go back to the 2012 London Olympics, to what has been called the dirtiest race in track and field history: the women’s 1,500m final. At last count, six out of the nine top finishers have tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, and most recently, the then 2012-Olympic 1,500m champion, Asli Cakir Alptekin from Turkey, has committed a third doping infraction and is banned for life.
The Shakeout Podcast: Why do women still run shorter distances than men in cross-country?
On this week’s episode, Canadian Running editor Michael Doyle and podcast producer Joan Chung revisit the lingering question of gender equity in cross-country races in Canada. One year ago, this issue came to the foreground, particularly in the Canadian university scene, and currently there are still differences in distances between boys and girls, men and women, varying across provinces and federations.
