Today is Saturday, July 26, 2025 and on this day in 1913, legendary Canadian marathoner Gerard Cote was born in a small town outside of Montreal, Quebec.





In this episode, we will hear about Cote's humble beginnings, discuss some of the 264 races he ran during his 20-year career - including 4 Boston Marathon wins - and learn about the one course record he purposely refused to beat.


It's #SaltySaturday, which means that today's episode is sponsored by SaltStick. Their Fast Chews are, hands down, my favorite way to consume electrolytes mid-run.





At the time when this airs, I'll be about 8 miles into my Saturday long run and on my 2nd or 3rd packet of FastChews! Listeners of the pod can also save 20% off of your entire SaltStick purchase by using ⁠⁠this link⁠⁠.
