Hey Reader, I hope you are enjoying some nicer weather wherever you are! I have officially kicked off my training for a bucket-list cycling trip to France this September. I'll be cycling through Provence for 5 days with a couple of close friends, including a ride up the legendary Mt. Ventoux! I am also very excited about the None to Run group run + run/walk on Sunday, June 22nd. If you're in the Toronto area, I'd love to see you there! Here are the event details: 📅 Date: Sunday, June 22, 2025 ⌚ Time: 10:00 AM 📍 Location: High Park - see the map below! We'll meet just inside the Bloor St / High Park Ave entrance to the park. 🏃♂️ Help Us Make Running History (Plus Get Free Gear!)We're partnering with Edge Hill University on groundbreaking research to study the effectiveness of None to Run for beginner runners – and we need your help! If you're starting Week 1 of the None to Run plan, you can join this important study that could help thousands of future runners succeed. The time commitment is minimal (less than 2 hours total over 6+ months), but you'll get a free None to Run T-shirt just for participating and a chance to win running shoes if you complete it. 🌟
