to become the 4th fastest Canadian all-time! Even more impressivehe ran the last 35k completely solo. Thomas actually ran at University of Washington for a bit before finishing up at University of British Columbia. He now resides in Ottawa - meaning he had to train for this race almost entirely on the treadmill! We talked about his training and nutrition on this pod and also walked through his pre-race routines.Of course, we got the full recap of race weekend and also what might be next for Thomas. We hope to see him with a shoe contract and in a major marathon this fall!FOLLOW THOMASIG: https://www.instagram.com/nobbs.not.knobs/LOVE LIKE DEANA 5K ENTRY: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://raceroster.com/events/2026/115080/love-like-deana-5k-2026⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW US ON STRAVA Chris https://www.strava.com/athletes/29985667Scottyhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/98633526Dannyhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/23504210CHECK OUT OUR INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/lifeinstridepodcast/QALO QRNT SMART RING 10% OFF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠qalo.com/lifeinstride⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SWIFTWICK SOCKShttps://swiftwick.com/15% off code: LIFEINSTRIDEKEN COMBS RUNNING STOREhttps://www.kencombsrunningstore.com/10% off code: LIFEINSTRIDEMASON CONSTRUCTIONhttps://www.masonconstructionanddev.com/CARBS FUELcarbsfuel.com15% off: LIFEINSTRIDESWITCHBACK ELECTROLYTEShttps://goswitchback.co?sca_ref=6278891.uVBEGmtjbbUlcGPZ 15% Off Code: OTQBOYZCHECK OUT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://youtube.com/@LifeInStridePodcast?si=icd7XfQ4HMmuBRyX
