Interview with Taylor Milne of Speed River (0)
The men’s 1500m is arguably one of the toughest events to consistently medal and finish high. There are countless athletes across a plethora of countries competing at a high level in the 1500 meters. The margin for error is extremely narrow and one false move can sabotage a great effort. Canada’s Taylor Milne knows this all too well. This past weekend Taylor went after the Canadian A Standard of 3:35:50 at the Payton Jordan Invitational from Stanford University but fell short running 3:38.07 in an extremely competitive field. Runner’s Feed asked Taylor a few questions prior to the event. We wish Taylor the best of luck as he chases this standard over the next couple of months. Read More |

Live from the Middle of the Pack/Hometown Hero (0)
For me, running isn’t always about competing in races, running your hardest or even obtaining PBs. It is certainly part of it, but I think what attracts me most to the sport is its accessibility. Anyone with a pair of running shoes, a bit of energy, and a sense of adventure can get out the door and get going! Then I hear some pretty inspirational stories that stem from the simple act of running. My nomination for a hometown hero is actually shared between two people I’ve recently met, Mike and Braden Anderson. Read More |

Joey McIntyre: A Good Guy Running For A Good Cause (1)
Joey McIntyre could tell you hundreds of captivating stories about traveling the world as a member of New Kids On The Block. With over 80 million albums sold, one might find it difficult to speak about anything else. Not McIntyre. I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with this international superstar AND runner, and to be quite honest, it wasn’t because of who he was or what he has done as a musician. After interviewing countless professional runners, it was refreshing to speak with someone who appreciates what the sport can do for him but also what the sport can do for others. Read More |

Cam Levins Makes Canada Proud (0)
Canadians are known for being polite, and thus Cam Levins could be Canada’s spokesperson. He is incredibly humble, unassuming, and does not take his success for granted. He might also be one of the hardest working runners out there. Levins logs in excess of 600 miles in a month in his Saucony Shadow Genesis. That is upwards of 1000 kilometers for the Canucks out there, or from Windsor to Montreal, or Detroit to New York City. Read More |
