More about Jonathan: He is connected to the Centre for Imaginative Research and Cultural Education (CIRCE_SFU) at Simon Fraser University with Kieran Egan and Gillian Judson (@perfinker). In his words:

“Something that changed for me in the last year was reading a book “Run Like a Pirate” by author and speaker Adam Welcome (@mradamwelcome). This created a shift in my mindset about putting my health first and also that we are capable of much more that we think, and it’s not just about running.
