Théo Dow

Théo Dow is a super interesting and well studied runner who is achieving big things in the running scene. After starting trail running in 2021 he has quickly ascended to the top of the running food chain in Saskatchewan. In this episode we talk training, the reasons he enjoys running and we talk about his big performances at Sinister 7 in 2025 and his big podium finish at the Reesor 50 in 2026. We also have a fun conversation about how we first met and how both of us were new to ultra running and perhaps didn’t understand the spirit of ultra running like we do today.  Use this code for 10 percent off any distance in the GMS QCM for 2026.  26QCMSASKATCHEWRUN http://www.runqcm.ca/ [http://www.runqcm.ca/] https://raceroster.com/events/2026/109828/gms-queen-city-marathon-2026 [https://raceroster.com/events/2026/109828/gms-queen-city-marathon-2026] To get in touch with the podcast feel free to email Jason at jasontburns40@gmail.com Instagram @SaskatchewRun  Thanks for listening and remember to like and subscribe!
