“I just loved running on the trails in nature—it was a meditative experience for me,” is how Robyn describes her training process during her remarkable 17 years on the Canadian National Team. Her impressive accomplishments were the byproduct of her simple joy of running—2 time Olympian, World Cup and Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist, and dozens of other national, provincial and local championship titles.Jason was born into a rowing family.

He spent his high school years rowing at Ridley College before continuing his passion at university. Once on the Canadian National Team, he set his sights on the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul.

As defending Olympic Champions, the Canadian men’s eight was expected to defend that title or, at the very least, medal. They didn’t. Instead, they finished dead last in the final.Decades later, Jason defines that experience and the troubled years that followed as the greatest gift he ever received. “It changed everything for me. Up until that moment, I was all about the prize.

Now, I get it—how we travel our life’s journey is more important than where that journey leads us.”
