Cam Levins After Running 2:05:36 At The Tokyo Marathon, Breaking The Canadian And North American Record + What's Next - a podcast by CITIUS MAG Podcast With Chris Chavez

"You don't just take fourth at the World Championships randomly. I think I can be one of the best in the world if we continue to improve here. That's what the goal has basically become. It was a dream. Now it's a goal."

Cam Levins just smashed the Canadian record in the marathon for the second year in a row, clocking in at an astounding 2:05:36 at the Tokyo Marathon. And get this - that time also breaks the North American record that has stood since 2002. But it's not just the numbers that are impressive. Cam's journey to get here is equally inspiring.

At 33 years old, Cam is still pushing himself to new limits, now under the guidance of Jim Finlayson. We explore that relationship and how they connected.

We also talk about his training regimen going back to triples and double-threshold training. We dive into his mindset, self-belief and what drives him to keep pushing himself to be the best he can be.

Also, if Cam can get into that 2:05 range, what’s it gonna take to get an American at that level? Plus, Cam shares what race he’s got coming up next.
