This week on the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, meet adaptive athlete Mike Greer! Mike shares his powerful journey in wheelchair racing, from his first 5K to conquering marathons like the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon.
He gives a candid look at the unique challenges adaptive athletes face, highlighting the need for truly accessible race configurations and the specialized gear—especially his racing chair.
Mike also discusses living with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and the rigorous training required to prevent injuries.
Ultimately, Mike's story is an advocacy for inclusion. He challenges the running community to embrace adaptive athletes and actively works to bring more to the starting line. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation.
