Alex Cyr is a runner, writer, and content creator from Toronto, Canada, who blends his love for running with his work at Marathon Handbook, a digital hub for running enthusiasts. Based in Toronto, he’s found a way to pursue his passion for the sport while keeping it a meaningful part of his life, alongside a career that’s evolved from freelance writing to creating content that resonates with a growing audience.

In this episode, I chat with Alex about his journey—how he’s grown as a runner, navigated the balance between passion and profession, and figured out what drives him. We touch on the quirks of running culture, the challenges of staying motivated, and the broader search for purpose in a world full of options. It’s a laid-back, real conversation that’s less about the specifics and more about the vibes—perfect for anyone who’s into running, chasing goals, or just trying to make sense of life’s twists and turns.
