On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with marathoner, Project Love Run leader and Yamajo run crew co-captain, Marge Jean-Louis.

For Marge, running followed her wherever she went. It started as a way to stay healthy and fit but eventually turned into so much more.

From 10ks and half marathons to major marathons and The Speed Project, preparation was the key to success. And as she continues to chases her own dreams, she's always encouraging others to find self love and compassion through running.
