Summary

Cam Levins joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast after winning the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon and breaking a four-decade-old Canadian record in 2:09:25. The previous record was held by Jerome Drayton in 2:10:09. Levins, 29, was a 2012 Olympian for Canada in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters. He was a standout star at Southern Utah and won the 2012 Bowerman Award. He was legendary for weeks that topped out at 180-191 miles per week. He spent time training with the Nike Oregon Project under Alberto Salazar. In recent years, he has been sidelined by injuries and was unable to race at the 2016 Summer Games in Rio. We discuss his comeback, the plan that went into his marathon debut and a return to high mileage. Levins plans to compete in the marathon at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo but what do his 2019 race plans entail? New York Times best selling author Malcolm Gladwell, also the host of the hit podcast 'Revisionist History', submitted his own questions for Levins so we get to those. Plus: We share your listener questions that were submitted on Instagram. ------- This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Kudos.

0:00.0	What's up, question, where do you keep your race metals?
0:04.0	If you're like most people, they're tangled up in a shoebox somewhere or buried in a closet.
0:09.0	Well, kudos encourages you to bring those keepsakes out into the open with a new race metal display case that doubles as a coaster.
0:16.0	And launching November 1st, the Kudos Coaster Plus allows you to preserve and display your race metals while you enjoy some coffee or a nice cold
0:23.8	beverage. So today's episode of the Citius mag podcast on the Citius mag
0:28.0	podcast network is brought to you by Kudos. We were able to get an early peak at the Kudos Coaster Plus when we were in Chicago for the
0:35.9	marathon and I got to say it's pretty cool. It comes with a removable top so you can switch
0:40.8	out the metals as you collect more and it has six different
0:44.0	colored foam inserts so you can match the background with the colors of your
0:47.3	metal. I've actually got my New York City one out on a coaster at home and I'm
0:52.3	going to be moving into a new apartment pretty soon and I'm
0:55.2	looking forward to using six of them to display the six marathon major coasters.
1:01.5	I'm at five right now but I'm getting there but I know that's how I'm going to show
1:04.8	him off. So they're more compact and less expensive than display cases or
1:09.6	wall-mounted frames. The Kudos Coaster Plus allows you to show your passion for running in a functional and simple way.
1:15.0	So to learn more about the Kudos Koster Plus, click the link in the show notes or on
1:20.5	the banner on Sidious mag.com and if you make purchase, part of the sales come back to Citius mag,
1:25.0	so we can continue to keep churning out the running focus content that you enjoy.
1:29.0	So check it out, and kudos to you.
1:34.5	My guess for today's show is a guest that I was really excited to lend an interview with after
1:40.1	his run at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon
1:42.8	Marathon Championships.
