We caught up with Bangor High School legend, Gordon Doore. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, right after the Chicago Marathon, so of course we have to touch on that! Gordon was a standout runner in high school and continues to set the bar high as he enters another year running for Colby College. He talks about the importance of goal setting, his personal goal of breaking the 4 minute mile barrier, the evolution of his training and how he believes that every high school runner should leave their ego behind. Another great shakeout with a wonderful human.

Today, we shakeout with record breaking University of Maine runner, Luke Marsanskis. Born in Cumberland and a standout runner at Greely High School, Luke was SO much fun to talk to. He just finished his first year of grad school at the University of Maine as a mechanical engineer focusing on oceanic renewable energy. 2023-2024 was Luke's breakout year, shattering both the 5000 and 10,000 meter school records and earning a spot at the NCAA Championships.
