On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with marathoner, event host and award winning actor, Stephen Alan Wilson.

Stephen discovered running in 2014 as a way to shed a few pounds and it changed his life. What started as a few miles a week quickly tuned into a healthier lifestyle, half and full marathons, with the occasional podium finish.

His career as an actor and long-time event host has taken him around the world, where he loves to encourage others to lace em up, head out for a run and most importantly, have fun!

On this episode of Le Run Down we had a long over due conversation with elite road and ultra distance runner, Alister Gardner.

In his early years back in the U.K he took a liking for snowboarding and the rush you get when you're ripping through the mountains.

Lucky for him, he was able to find that same thrill running trails. What's fascinating about Alister is his incredible versatility as runner, chasing distances ranging from 5ks to Ultras and always stays competitive!

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with multi Canadian record holder and Olympian, Gabriela DeBues-Stafford.

She comes from a running family and that influenced her as a kid. As a pro she found early success training out of Glasgow, but eventually returned to North America, where she now trains with the Bowerman Track Club.

It’s so remarkable how much she’s already accomplished in her career and she continues to push herself to become a better athlete each and every day.

He comes from an athletic background but discovered running as a short distance triathlete, and it’s stuck with him ever since.

Coaching Olympic level athletes has taken Tom to numerous countries, so he's been running, training, and now isolating all over the world, even in these crazy times.
