We sit down with ultra runner Dave Proctor to unpack how he ran across Canada, what attention and meditation did for his performance, and why the finish line mattered less than the steps that got him there. The talk moves from ego and validation to stillness, doubt, and the craft of stacking habits.

• Canadian pride and sport as pure attention
• Doing vs being and running across Canada
• Outrunning ego and the Second Mountain idea
• Meditation as training for focus and composure
• Pain vs discomfort and practical reframing
• COVID, a broken foot, and choosing acceptance
• Doubters as mirrors and compassionate resolve
• Post-record stillness, writing, and new identities
• Baselines for runners and habit stacking
• Influences from Terry Fox to Al Howie
