How It All Started
Look, I'll be real with you - this place wasn't born from some grand business plan. It started after my third failed marathon attempt back in 2018. Yeah, I was that runner who'd train like crazy but completely ignored what I was putting in my body.
After hitting the wall at km 32 for the third time, I finally got it. You can't outrun a terrible diet, and you can't fuel properly without understanding your body's actual needs. That's when everything changed for me.
Spent the next two years diving deep into sports nutrition, got certified, worked with some amazing coaches, and actually finished that marathon. Not just finished - crushed my old PR by 40 minutes. That's when folks started asking what I'd changed.
So in 2021, I opened Run Eat Odyssey right here in Vancouver. The idea was simple - create a space where runners get both sides of the equation: smart training AND proper fueling. No BS, no magic pills, just good science mixed with real-world experience.
Today, we've got a crew of runners who actually enjoy their training because they're not constantly bonking or injured. That's what keeps me going every single day.
