This 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.

We have some big news, the time has come for our first Le Run Down host Justin Pugliese to move on, good news for all of you, Justin has launched his own podcast, @justinstridepod. Give it a listen!

While we begin our search for a new host for the show, our guest hosts emma.deguara and leslie woods interview pro wakeboarder, Ben Leclair for his second appearance on the pod.

Catch the first episode #16 with Ben Leclair here.

Heads up! Both Ben and Emma are francophones, so we go back and forth between French and English.

I want to apologize in advance, if you're not bi-lingual, you may have trouble following along with the conversation.

We will be publishing a video of the episode that will include subtitles.

News:

The video we played at the start of our conversation with Ben is Natural Playground recorded in late 2016.

The Q&A that followed the interview asked Ben how he edits videos with his injuries. Here is a video of Ben showing his editing setup.

That's all for now, gotta run.

Season 1 · Episode 23

Wednesday, July 24, 2019 • Duration 01:16:57

He found running when he joined the military as a way to lose weight and reduce stress. Due to a running injury he took up biking, which inevitably led to his first Triathlon.

Completing this first race made him so proud that he quickly decided to sign up for his first Ironman, and the rest is history. He's completed over 30 Ironmans, 9 Ultramans, and the Ride Across America 3 times. Tune in to find out how he got to this point and what fuels his inner fire to succeed.
