In this episode we bring on Nico, a longtime friend of John and an ultra-distance runner who casually covers more than 100 kilometres at a time—basically the length of a small road trip. Nico now lives on Vancouver Island, arguably one of the best places in Canada to be a long-distance runner. He and his partner also host a podcast called PEP Talk, where they dive into all things endurance running.

Nico shares stories of resilience, the dedication behind his craft, and what it truly takes—physically and mentally—to run distances most of us can’t even imagine. His grit and mindset leave Linnea in awe, while John (in classic John fashion) urges listeners to go for a run… or at least enjoy a nice outdoor walk if that’s more your pace.
