    Ben Rosario is back! The Co-Founder & CEO of The Marathon Project returns to Inspired Soles just four months after his first appearance to share exciting updates about the race’s 2025 edition—and so much more.

    Since our last conversation, TMP has announced partnerships with Blanks Sports Nutrition (yes, everyone gets bottle service!) and FloTrack, revealed a new start time, detailed the prize purse, and continued registration for the Gold Wave—the competitive amateur field for runners chasing their best performances.

    In this episode, Ben and I also dive into recent industry headlines, including the doping suspension of marathon world record holder Ruth Chepng'etich, as well as Faith Kipyegon’s Breaking4 attempt.

    Plus, Ben opens up about his surprising new chapter—becoming a middle school teacher—and the introspection that led to this next step. We talk about what fuels recreational runners, how we’re all more competitive than we let on, and how running is a lot like golf (which might explain a few things about my family!).

    Whether you’re a serious amateur, a fan of the sport, or just curious about what’s next for The Marathon Project, this episode delivers.

    If you're just tuning in for the first time and wondering, what exactly is the Mic Check Relay? — allow us to catch you up!

    On July 16th, Inspired Soles went head-to-head against our friends Rob & Charlie Tétrault at The Running Journey podcast in a 2-person, 5K-per-runner track relay at Victor Mager track in Winnipeg. The stakes? $5000 donated by the losing team to the charity of the winner’s choice — and, of course, serious podcast bragging rights.

    In this recap episode, Johnny and I relive the magic of that evening — from the electric atmosphere and perfect summer weather to the 100+ amazing people who showed up to cheer and race in our open 1500m heats.

    We share how the race unfolded compared to our predictions, the key strategy Reid Coolsaet gave me the day before, and shout out the incredible people who helped make the night a true community celebration — including the cake (yes, thatcake), the volunteers, and our dynamo of a photographer, Jin-Lee.

    Final results:
    🏆 Inspired Soles – 37:37 (Carolyn 20:34 | Johnny 17:03)
    💥 The Running Journey – 38:12 (Charlie 20:24 | Rob 17:48 – a 1:21 PB!)

    And most importantly, FortWhyte Alive received a $5000 donation as our chosen charity.

    We left the track with full hearts and immense gratitude. Tune in to hear our full recap of a truly unforgettable night.

    • CMV Canada (Rob & Charlie's charity): https://cmvcanada.com/

    🎙️ With just days to go until the Mic Check Relay, my husband Johnny and I sat down for a quick and candid preview of what’s shaping up to be the ultimate podcast showdown between Inspired Soles and The Running Journey.

    On Wednesday, July 16th — also Johnny’s 44th birthday — we’ll go head-to-head against Rob & Charlie Tetrault in a 2-person 5K relay, where the losing team donates $5000 to the winning team’s charity of choice. But this event is about more than just bragging rights…

    We’re inviting local runners to join us for 1500m time trials, stay for pizza and birthday cake, and cheer on the main event at Victor Mager track. In this episode, we cover how the event came to be, how training has gone (bear encounters and all), and what times we hope to run on race day.
