On this episode of Le Run Down I had an eye opening conversation with ultra runner, Jerry Hughes.

Ways to help Tommy and his family: Fundraiser for Stephanie Catudal by John Peel : Rest up, Tommy, we'll see you soon (gofundme.com) On this episode of Le Run Down we throw it back to the Boston from 2019, where we sat down with Tommy Rivers Puzey. It was the last time the race was held in-person, over two years ago. Tommy gratuitously accepted our invitation to chat and shared his journey with us. We spoke about the marathon at length and he let us in to everything that brought him to that point. A lot has happened since then however. Early in 2020 Tommy was diagnosed with NK T-Cell lymphoma, which is an extremely rare form of cancer. He battled through, fighting for his life and has since made a miraculous recovery. We're blessed that we were able to have spoken to Tommy that weekend in Boston and no doubt, if his body allowed, he'd love to toe the line with his peers at the 125th Boston marathon on Monday. So whether you're racing this year or just need that extra bit of inspiration, give this episode a listen and enjoy all his wisdom. Eyes Up, Stout heart, Rage on. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with Elite Ultra Trail Runner, Arden Young. For Arden early on, running was a way for her to lose weight and maintain a certain body image. Today, her relationship to running looks much different. She's an incredible athlete who focused most of her efforts on the trails. Racing distances ranging from 50 miler all the way to 100 and by the end of them, you can usually find her name a top the leader board.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had an incredible conversation with runner and Founder of Rising Hearts, Jordan Marie Daniel. Jordan has always advocated for indigenous peoples, but the 2019 Boston marathon was a huge signal boost for her message. She loves running, and uses the platform it provides to raise awareness, and promote positive change for the indigenous community.

This episode was brought to you by our friends at Velofix. DM @velofixquebec on IG to get your exclusive LE RUN DOWN PROMO CODE and receive 15% OFF your next tune up. On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with plant-based Ultra Endurance Athlete, Robbie Balenger. Simply put, Robbie loves to run and push his limits.He's conquered the run across America in 75 days and most recently crushed the fastest known time for loops around central park in 24 hours. His accomplishments are remarkable but the message he carries about making better food choices and creating more sustainable food sources is just as incredible.
