Injuries:

Illness meant he missed the 2018 Prague Marathon in the Czech Republic. (impactmagazine.ca, 01 Mar 2020)

He sustained a grade two ankle sprain in early 2018 while training in Kenya. (trevorhofbauer.com, 22 Oct 2019)

Start:

He began athletics while at high school in Calgary, AB, Canada. (impactmagazine.ca, 01 Mar 2020)

Reason:

He started running as a form of cross-training. "I'd place in the top three at the city meets without even really training or trying hard so I knew I had some potential." (impactmagazine.ca, 01 Mar 2020)

Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (trevorhofbauer.com, 22 Oct 2019)

Training:

"I don't really train like most marathoners, getting in a lot of distance. I go moderately hard for three days a week, then very hard for two days a week. I alternate these workouts week to week. I don't have a lot of easy runs during a training block and my volume isn't that high." (impactmagazine.ca, 01 Mar 2020)

Memorable:

Winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships in Toronto, ON, Canada. (trevorhofbauer.com, 22 Oct 2019)

Philosophy:

"Running is like meditating. It's like having a break from a busy day. There's often a lot going on and I have a big social network that I'm involved with. So when someone asks to run with me, I usually politely turn them down. I really like my alone time." (impactmagazine.ca, 01 Mar 2020)

TRAINING METHOD
After moving to Calgary, AB, Canada, and starting to self-coach in 2018, he began training without using the pace function on a watch. "I've found training with a pace [function] immediately dictates how your workout is going to go. I trained with pace and Strava for years. One day I was running with Eric Gillis in Guelph and he didn't use pace on his watch so I took it off of mine as well. Removing pace was something that stuck. When I went back to Calgary I started using pace again as an indication of how I was doing. But I didn't like it at all, it really got into my head. I started comparing previous training blocks to this training block. So I took it off again. I don't use pace now, I just go off time and effort."
