Welcome back to the Faceplants to Finish Lines Podcast. Today Chad welcomes his first guest, musician, drum circle facilitator, yoga teacher and marathon runner Lyle Povah. Join Chad and Lyle as they chat about Lyle's history with running, his journey as a musician and how he’s stayed motivated throughout his long career.

Lyle has utilized drumming, rhythm, the voice, and movement to promote all aspects of wellness all around the world. Today he speaks about the inspiration behind the Drum Run, an adventure tour that promoted health and well-being by combining community drum circle workshops in cities throughout British Columbia with distance running events between each community. He dives deep into his experience during the 2 month, 1500 km run across BC including his spiritual moments along the Highway of Tears.

Lyle opens up about one of his personal faceplants, as well as his diet and lifestyle, including his sleep and nighttime ritual, and how that changes during long runs. He shares his upcoming projects and plans, including his first Ironman taking place shortly after his 70th birthday.
