Stay ConnectedThis podcast allows runners to connect and envision what they could become. Everyone starts somewhere but it’s how you move forward that determines which path you’ll take. For some, running is just exercise, however we believe it is much more than that: it’s mental, physical and in some cases even spiritual. Our guests are inspiring in terms of their accomplishments but they put one foot in front of the other just like everyone else.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with my friend Lecia Mancini. She was active as a kid but got in with the wrong crowd in her late teens. Until one day she decided it was time to take her life back.
From her first triathlon to her first 100 k race, she breaks down her most challenging moments and her greatest triumphs in the sport. Over the last 6 years she’s carved her place in the run community. She’s a key leader of the run rite athletics club and she now has a run club of her own called Prefontaine. Join us as we talk about everything run and get ready to be inspired.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with Darren Weldrick fresh off his 660km relay race from Toronto to Montreal. An event he created just a few years ago.
Darren’s been running for a long time and as he teaches his athletes, has made it a part of his lifestyle. For him, running is a passion, a hobby and he’s also turned it into a career, coaching running all over Toronto.
We discuss how running culture has changed over the years, best training practices, and ways we can strengthen our bodies. You won't want to miss our talk, hope you enjoy!

In this episode of Le Run Down I made my way down to New York City for the marathon and had the opportunity to chat with elite marathoner, Allie Keiffer.
She went into her first marathon, thinking she was going to do the half the night before and ended up winning it with a time of 2:55:30. That was the 2016 Miami Marathon, and only a year later she managed to shave 25 minutes off her time, finishing 5th in New York.
Allie is resilient, dedicated, and focused on the Olympic trials in Atlanta next February.

#31: Laurent Caudrellier
In this episode of Le Run Down I discuss group running, the November Project and The Speed Project with Laurent Caudrellier.
After trying to make it in the big city of Toronto, it was apparent to him there was very little work-life balance. That’s why he moved back to Montreal and rediscovered himself just two years ago.
Now he’s a community leader. Joining different run groups on a weekly basis, supporting other people's goals, and co-leading the November Project every Wednesday morning in the old port @ 6:29 am. It sounds like that was a life-changer for Laurent, so hopefully, it could help you too.

On this episode of Le Run Down, I sat down with a good friend of mine and the most recent winner of the Ultra-Trail Harricana 65k, Olivier Collin.
Growing up he specialized in cross country racing and later on in the 1500m at the collegiate level. He was always a fast guy but when frustrating injuries came into play he was forced to change paths and pursue academics.
Now Olivier has found his passion for running again, this time through the trails. He's racing for fun, but with talent like his, it’s been tough to keep him off the leaderboard in his first season of ultras.

On this episode of Le Run Down, I had a nice chat with local Montreal artist, runner, and triathlete, Lysa Jordan.

Find out how she uses both passions to fuel one another and how it creates balance in her life.

On this episode of Le Run Down I talked with avid runner and co-Director of Take The Bridge race series, Darcy Budworth. She grew up in Portland, a running mecca coincidentally nicknamed "Bridgetown", but didn't fall in love with running until she moved to New York City. She adored the local community, and after participating in a few unsanctioned races decided to create her own. Today, they race in all major cities and even have a Take The Bridge Podcast to spread the word. Find out about her journey and how she's grown her series from a local event to an international success.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a chat with the national Canadian record holder in the half marathon and marathon, Rachel Cliff.
We spoke while she was in town for the Canadian Track and Field Championship, where she placed 3rd in the 10,000 meter. Two weeks later she took home the bronze for Canada at the Pan Am Games in Peru.
Rachel's a talented athlete with a powerful story of perseverance. She was denied a spot on the 2016 Olympic Team despite running the 5,000 meter standard. Now she's back stronger than ever with her sights set on 2020 in Tokyo.
