Get ready for an episode that's all heart, hustle, and pavement! Host John Shep on the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast interviews the insightful Alejandro De La Cruz, co-founder of Running Waters in Durham Region. Alejandro shares his journey from a running novice in San Jose—learning the conversational pace—to becoming a community pillar. Hear how moving to Whitby, Ontario, in March 2020 turned the waterfront trail into his mental health lifeline and forged his runner identity. Dive into the Running Waters founding story and get an exclusive look at his gritty preparation for the New York City Marathon. He reveals the pain and sheer stubborn determination (and lessons learned) of training through a recent injury, fueled by co-organizer Marvin Mendoza's unwavering support. This is more than a running story; it's a testament to community, resilience, and finding your flow.
