  • The best running podcast out there

    I could listen to Kate all day. She is an incredibly talented commentator / sports journalist - she has endless knowledge about all of her interviewees and their sport and she strikes the perfect balance between offering her own experiences while maintaining focus on the athlete she’s interviewing.

    I would love to hear Brianna Scott be interviewed.... she's worked her way up from a recreational runner to a top middle distance runner in Canada!

Madelyn Eybergen & Hilary Stellingwerff | Recapping UVIC’s Historic USports Double Gold
Q: Hilary, how do you navigate the relationship with an athlete who is very eager and motivated, ensuring they stay in one piece to achieve their goals?
You want athletes to be self-motivated, which Maddie is incredibly driven, making it easier to pull back when necessary.
Madelyn Eybergen & Hilary Stellingwerff | Recapping UVIC’s Historic USports Double Gold
Q: Maddie, talk us through your strategy going in to try and rest the crown away from your rival Lauren McNeil.
I learned from last year's race to hold back longer and make my move when I felt confident.
Madelyn Eybergen & Hilary Stellingwerff | Recapping UVIC’s Historic USports Double Gold
Q: Was there a specific team strategy going into these U Sports championships?
We needed to approach it differently because of the larger field size, focusing on getting off the line quickly and staying calm once settled in.
Madelyn Eybergen & Hilary Stellingwerff | Recapping UVIC’s Historic USports Double Gold
Q: Hilary, what was the advice to the women heading into this season, particularly into this race this past weekend, in terms of how to execute?
Take one race at a time, build each other up, stay calm, and believe in each other.
Madelyn Eybergen & Hilary Stellingwerff | Recapping UVIC’s Historic USports Double Gold
Q: Madelyn, what was the mood like for the team approaching U Sports this year, knowing that you were going in with the target on your back as the number one ranked team?
The mood was good; we were aware that we had a great opportunity and chance to shoot for gold from the beginning of the season.
