Charles Philibert-Thiboutot’s Instagram Takeover

In case you missed Charles Philibert-Thiboutot’s takeover on our Instagram account last week, we’ve added the content to our YouTube channel!

Charles is a former Laval Rouge et Or middle-distance runner who represented Canada at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Supported by Asics and RBC, Charles is recovering from an injury that kept him out for the 2019 track season with his sights set on a return to the Olympic stage in 2020.

His fastest marks include 3:34.23 over 1500 metres, 7:45.03 over 3000 metres, and 13:33.25 for 5000 metres.

During the takeover, Charles discusses sleep, nutrition, his support network, recovering from injury, favourite workouts, and shows us behind the scenes at his alma mater, Université Laval, before jumping into a 6x1500m training session.

Check out the video below for a peek at what life is like as a professional runner.

We hope you enjoyed the takeover!
