You quit the team,

you bullshit your coach

and you lie to me?

I don't know what to do anymore.

It's been like this for 5 years.

How can I get through to you?

What's going on?

Listen...

You have a week left to think about it.

After that, it'll be too late for the

Nationals.

I know you can do it.

Now, it's up to you.

Keep me posted.

How are you?

What's up!

Happy to see you!

Us too, man!

Glad you came.

Time to run!

Scared to lose?

You're good!

I couldn't catch up.

How many seconds apart?

3 seconds.

- At least.

Congrats.

Despite Jen's lead.

I know! I gave you a head start!

I'd love to see you two race.

I gave you such a lead!

I just couldn't use it!

On your mark...

I won't pry, but you need to do as I say.

We have a month to get you ready.

We'll focus on only one thing: your guts.

We'll push your limits.

When you've gone all out, run even faster.

You're at 1:
56.

You need 1:
54 for the Nationals.

Those 2 seconds are crucial.

They'll be the hardest 2 seconds of your life.

Are you ready for that?

Go.

You're hurting?

I don't believe you. Again!

Go, go, go!

On your mark...

No time to rest.

On your mark...

1:
56.70. Recovery lap, then one more.

Going for a little run.

Ready?

You've got company today.

Hi!

Hi, Jen.

One lap at top speed.

Go for it.

Catch up to her.

On your mark...

get set...

You coming?

Push!

Good job!

Let's go, recovery lap.

You're champs!

Goal 800m 1:
54

At your age, I would've beaten you...

hands down!

I'm proud of you, son.

I know it's been rough since your mom passed.

I'm so proud of you.

Come on! Hungry?

Welcome to the Provincial Championships

at the Richard Garneau stadium.

Many different events today:

the hammer throw,

featuring the defending champion,

the high jump, the discus throw

and many running events...

And they're off!

Is Jeff here?

He's warming up.

He won't do anything.

You're gonna run,

beat him

and move on to the Nationals.

Trust me.

He won't do anything.

Back from the dead!

What are you doing here? Competing?

Nice, man!

You knew?

Yeah.

You really doing this?

Are you racing?

You ready?

Welcome!

Drop your bag.

Light jog to warm up.

Great day coming up. Have fun!
