Foster Malleck is one of the fastest Canadian middle-distance runners ever. He’s also someone I’ve known for years as a teammate, roommate, and friend.

In this episode of The Kick, I sit down with Foster to talk about his journey from high school standout and Penn Relays champion, to setting program records at Boston University, and now competing on the world stage as a professional runner.

Before turning professional, Foster placed 3rd at the 2025 NCAA Indoor Championships in the mile. After graduating from BU, Foster signed a professional contract with Under Armour and has already proven he belongs among the very best in the world.

Foster wasted no time after signing his pro contact, running the fastest 1500m EVER on Canadian soil on August 6, 2025. His 3:32.38 became the second-fastest 1500m ever by a Canadian.

If you’re a runner, a fan of the sport, or someone chasing big goals in any area of life, this conversation is for you.
