Rob talks Running
Welcome to the podcast. I’m Rob Watson, an ex-pro marathoner with a 2:13:29 personal best (pre-super shoes), 11th place finisher at the 2013 Boston Marathon, and 20th at the World Championships in Moscow that same year. Nowadays, I’m a coach with Mile2Marathon and generally just a big running nerd.
On this show, we dive into all things running, with the occasional detour into cycling and triathlons. It’s a lighthearted, fun take on the sport we love, so sit back, relax, and let’s talk running.

Let's Go Again, Dylan Wykes & Grandma's Marathon: Ep 1. How we got to here
episode 1: Let's Go Again', Dylan Wykes & Grandma's Marathon
In this episode, Dylan Wykes, an Olympic Marathon runner and Canadian Champion with a 2:10:47 PB discusses his journey from professional runner competing at the highest level of the sport to transitioning into life as a father, husband, business owner and aging athlete to his decision to dust off the racing shoes and lean into a hard training block as he prepares for Grandma's Marathon 2025.
He discusses the challenges of managing expectations, setting new goals, and adapting to changes in training and nutrition over the years.
The conversation also touches on the evolution of running footwear and the importance of maintaining a love for the sport amidst life's responsibilities.
