Summary
I’m so thrilled to introduce Carolyn Coffin to the SandyBoy Productions podcast network. Carolyn hosts the Inspired Soles podcast and has been telling incredible stories in the running world since 2020. She’s based in Canada, and we get into how much her show highlights Canadian athletes, why those stories matter, and the crossover between the U.S. and Canadian running scenes.
Carolyn shares her background as a physiotherapist, how she shifted into health coaching and eventually running coaching, and how she found her own love for the sport later in life. We talk through her long journey with the marathon — the near misses, the tough races, the canceled races, the heat DNFs — and the fire she still has at age 48 to run her fastest marathon yet. She also talks about family life, her husband’s running, raising teenagers, and what her coaching roster looks like today. This is a rich conversation about longevity, learning, curiosity, and chasing big goals no matter your age.
Topics discussed:
-
Welcoming Inspired Soles to the network
-
Why Canadian representation in running media matters
-
Carolyn’s shifts from physio to health coach to running coach
