Sometimes you need a way to focus that takes you outside, mentally and physically. Last February I knew I needed running, and with it a training goal that would see me through to a fall marathon. Fortunately my training partner also wanted a goal to keep him motivated. And with his deferred 2020 Detroit Marathon race entry in hand, we set our training on 42K in the Motor City together.

Craft beer, pizza and coffee: Montreal’s Mile End is a food-lover’s destination for all of this and much more.

Mile End spans about 40 blocks bordered by Mount Royal and Saint-Laurent Boulevard, and after arriving in Montreal on Friday, the margarita pizza at Pizzeria Magpie hits the spot.

Now’s the time to put your training to real test by adding a fall race (or three) to your calendar.
