About Briana

Bri Scott has quickly burst into the Canadian running scene after starting her athletic career as a volleyball player, competing collegiately for McGill. A Vancouver native, Bri joined M2M years after volleyball ended, to pick up running for the first time. Soon after, Bri found herself quickly improving, and falling in love with the sport. Bri has continued her running training with the BC Endurance Project where she won the National Championships in the 5000m and represented Canada at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.

Interview

  • Favourite race type and why?

    The mile. Growing up, my grandpa always marveled at how the sub-4-minute mile was an incredible human feat. He’d shared stories of the spectacle and his friendship with Roger Bannister, the first sub-4-minute miler. Weirdly enough, I’ve gone on to marry a sub-4-minute miler and grown to realize how crazy fast it is. The mile is the magic blend of speed and endurance.

  • Favourite post-workout treat or go-to place?

    Freshly baked Shalane Flanagan superhero muffins, but there’s nothing quite like some salty chips on the drive home.
