This season that team may very well be Olympian track stars Sarah Wells and Sam Effah. The Team Canada teammates are one of the 10 teams taking part in this year’s Second Chances edition of the race, and the Torontonians say that even though they’ve been watching the show for years (Effah is a big fan), they never thought about applying until they saw this year’s theme.

My training regimen is pretty intense,” Sam says. “Nutrition is huge. With USANA, I usually take the HealthPak™ in the morning, and then I’ll have an hour and a half to two hours on the track, and then I’ll have another hour and a half in the weight room. After that, I’ll usually take my shake.
