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 we spoke with Elite Marathoner and Olympian, Dayna Pidhoresky.
Growing up Dayna always loved to run but was interested in a variety of sports like soccer, figure skating, and gymnastics. After completing university she decided to invest more time into running and that move paid dividends.
Now after more than 12 years, she's a 10 time national medalist, was named to the Canadian World Champion Team, and most recently competed in her first Olympics in Tokyo.

On this episode of Le Run Down we chat with nonbinary pro triathlete, "The Purple Tiger" Rach McBride.
At an early age they enjoyed running cross country but traded it for something more creative in their early teens.
Rach rediscovered a love for endurance sports in their late 20's, finding early success in the marathon. Then, with the encouragement of a mentor, they began training to become an elite triathlete, turned pro and never looked back.

On this episode of Le Run Down we swim, bike and run around the world with extreme endurance athlete and adventurer, Jonas Deichmann. @jonas_deichmann
Even since Jonas could remember he was always interest in exploring and discovery.
His sense for adventure and love of cycling has allowed him to cross many countries and continents in record breaking times. In his latest expedition he circumnavigated the entire world in the longest triathlon of his life, completing the equivalent of 120 ironman. As his book titles "The limit is just me", the sky is the limit for this incredible guy.

On this episode of Le Run Down I got to know pro distance runner and Tinman elite co-founder and coach, Reed Fischer.
We spoke about his career as a pro runner and coach in Boulder Colorado, and it was great to reflect with him on CIM and how he showed up for his athletes that day.
He’s been at it for years, and as he pursues a spot on an Olympic marathon team, his love for running is stronger than ever.

On this episode of Le Run Down we talked all things running with marathoner, community leader and "Escape" ultra relay co-creator, Quinton Jacobs.
Quinton is a run enthusiast who's taken on multiple world majors and the Comrades ultra-marathon in South Africa. But this father of three also loves the community and all that it brings.
His most recent adventure, "Escape to Chicago". A multi day relay run, from Toronto to Chi-Town, all caught on tape for an exciting documentary set to release in early 2022.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with adventurer and Elite Ultra Distance runner, Mathieu Blanchard.
Mathieu is some one who I've been able to watch grow fairly quickly in the sport. From intense track sessions to crazy multi hour challenges in and around Montreal, he was preparing for something great.
He's since been able to quit his job to pursue a life as a professional ultra runner. Travelling the world and competing amongst the elites on the international stage.

On this episode of Le Run Down we go across Canada with ultra runner and Mental health advocate, Skylar Roth MacDonald.
Skylar loved playing all kinds of sports, playing soccer competitively until concussions forced him to retire.
He found his love for ultra running while exploring the Canadian Rockies, and his passion, coupled with the tragic loss of his friends, inspired him to run across the country to raise awareness for mental health.

On this episode of Le Run Down I learnt a bunch about movement and why it's important for runners with triathlete, chiropractor, and elite runner Garrett De Young.
Growing up, he was a multisport athlete who got exposed to a variety of sports, and found himself excelling at running. Competing at a high level helped Garrett see the challenges athletes face and how many lacked general strength and mobility.
He is now a professional in the space, helping athletes to not only move better in sport but also in life.

On this episode of Le Down I had an excellent conversation with ultramarathoner and triathlete, Rob Kemp.
Rob had an active childhood and used running as a way to stay in shape for hockey. But over the years it became so much more.
He's enjoyed a long career in radio and doesn't shy away from long distances either, taking on marathons, Ironman triathlons and most recently, the Bromont Ultra 100 miler. He taught me sometimes it's not about how or if you finish but the pursuit of something far greater. The victory comes from getting to the start.

On this episode of Le Down I spoke with Elite Runner and Marathoner, Elissa Legault.
She's always loved running and even dabbled in triathlon at a very young age, and returning to the sport reunited her with her childhood coach to pursue the marathon.
Despite the pandemic Elissa managed a half marathon and marathon personal best. If she keeps it up, an Olympic qualifier could be within her reach one day.
