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'm excited to share a conversation with Ultra Triathlon couple, Katherine and Kevin Becker. Their journey in fitness began a little later than most, but it’s been incredibly eventful.They started with team sprint triathlon, but now they've completed multiple Ironmans, 4 marathon world majors, crossed the grand canyon, and hold the Guinness World Record for most completed Ultraman races by a married couple.Their goal has always been to race for fun and fitness, and they've shown that anything is possible, if you set an objective and put your mind to it.News Links:Rachel Cliff-https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/rachel-cliff-shatters-canadian-marathon-record/Speed Project-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uzBA32-fzkEpisode Links:Kat & Kev's website - https://endurancetriathletes.wordpress.com/Ironman- http://www.ironman.com/#axzz5iej90SYmUltraman- http://ultramanworlds.com/Grand Canyon R2R2R- https://endurancetriathletes.wordpress.com/2016/10/16/grand-canyon-r2r2r-october-2016/Guiness World Record- http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/410750-most-ultraman-world-championships-completed-by-a-married-couple

On this episode of Le Run Down I got to speak with ultra trail runner, Scott Sternthal. His journey in endurance sports began at the age of 18, when he started racing mountain bikes with his buddies. His passion for being in nature ultimately led Scott to trail running. So far he's had some great results, with a 2nd place finish at the Bromont Ultra 80k in 2015 and a 5th place finish at the Harricana 125k a year later. All while establishing himself as a top osteopath and being a family man too. One thing’s for sure, Scott knows how to push his limits and we’re excited to see what he gets up to next.News links:https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a26340590/trail-runner-killed-mountain-lion/https://www.theoutrun.ca/Episode links:http://scottsternthal.com/FB https://www.facebook.com/sternthalosteo/IG https://www.instagram.com/scottsternthal/?hl=enhttp://harricana.info/en/https://bromontultra.com/

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with Elite Quebec Marathoner Melanie Myrand. She started running at a very young age and it's clear that her passion for the sport has only gotten stronger.She continues to push herself and strives to bring down her best marathon time of 2 hours and 34 minutes. Mel has a natural talent for running, but still trains hard every day because she never takes it for granted.News links-http://www.circuitendurance.ca/ile-bizard/https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/training/sleep-expert-wants-airport-bound-runners-know-jet-lag-ahead-race-day/Episode links-IG: @melmyrandwww.chicagomarathon.com/

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with Anne Bouchard, one of the best ultra trail runners in the province. At a young age Anne enjoyed rock climbing as a great way to explore nature. She went on to build her career as a chartered accountant, started a family, and discovered a love for running that set her down an incredible path. Her resume is impressive, finishing top 30 at the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc and winning the Bromont Ultra 160 in 2017. She's accomplished a lot in six years at the sport, and it sounds like she's just getting started.Links from the news - https://raceroster.com/events/2019/21517/cforce-chuck-norris-5khttps://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/canadas-melanie-myrand-wins-fitbit-miami-half-marathon/Links from the interview - https://utmbworld.com/https://utmbmontblanc.com/en/homehttps://bromontultra.com/http://distances.plus/ultra-trail-world-tour/anne-bouchard-utmb-2018-29-position/?fbclid=IwAR0P4VM0oQlytw2HlHupvKBD945FSutsgZigjosvTHWltJmiOXvfBv13D-Ahttps://www.thenorthface.com/fr_ca/homepage.htmlhttps://www.telequebec.tv/documentaire/les-ultras/https://www.facebook.com/anne.bouchard.161

Seven years ago he did his first spartan race and hasn't looked back.
He's become one of the top obstacle course athletes in the country,
and this season he’s aiming even higher.
