On this edition of DSO we meet best selling author, founder and CEO of the Running Room, John Stanton. He’s written four books on running, run more than 60 marathons, hundreds of road races and numerous triathlons. Stanton was introduced to running as an overweight, out of shape, smoker who then went on to start a chain of running and walking specialty retail stores across Canada and in the U.S. His goal is to encourage others to get active and he’s helped thousands of people to lose weight, improve their health and fitness level and truly change their lives. In just a few minutes he diagnosed and fixed a running problem that had plagued Gary for a long time. John Stanton is our feature interview today on Doing Stuff Outdoors.
Also on the show, a great podsafe tune from a band called Sunspot and more of your comments. Gord writes about a race to the top of Whiteface Mountain, Lloyd tells us about a blog that focuses on relevant events and issues that impact wildlife and their habitat and Warren says goodbye, at least for a while.
Next time on DSO a feature interview with the author of a book about an Adventure Race that went terribly wrong. A young participant died of exposure while kayaking in the race. David Leach covered the tragedy for an outdoor magazine and has written a book about it called, “Fatal Tide: When the Race of a Lifetime Goes Wrong”. He says the accident has had a major impact on adventure racing ever since.
Also on the show we’ll have more stories of your longest paddle ever. Call in your comments to 206.600.4557 or email doingstuffoutdoors@yahoo.ca or leave a comment at doingstuffoutdoors.com
