July 18: 'Road to London: Reid Coolsaet' Debuts on July 21

Olympic athlete Reid Coolsaet doesn't exercise like you or me.

“I only ran 14 k this morning,” Coolsaet says, deadpan. “I'll do 16 this afternoon. It's a light day.”

But Coolsaet will be competing in the 42.2 kilometre Olympic marathon, and gunning to do it in less than two hours, 10 minutes — a world-class time.

“I'm just really excited for it,” he said. “I'm ready to break out on a new level, and to do it on a big stage, with all the best runners in the world.”
