Le Run Down

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with one of the province’s best runners, Francois Jarry.

He fell in love with the sport years ago when he won a race he entered in high school and he never looked back. He’s been the Quebec ten thousand meter champ for the last five years but he’s a pretty great marathoner too. Running two hours and twenty two minutes in his elite marathon debut. And his goal is to set the Quebec marathon record one day.

For Francois, running was a sport that helped shape his identity. Something I think we can all relate to one way or another on our own running journey.

On this episode of Le Run Down I dug a little bit deeper into nutrition with registered holistic nutritional practitioner Danielle Levy.

We discuss our relationship to food, the importance of fueling properly and how we can approach our meals in a more balanced way.

So if you have questions about nutrition and how it relates to sports or in everyday life, you won’t want to miss my conversation with Danielle. It will definitely give you some food for thought!

On this episode of Le Run Down I got to speak with sports nutritionist, triathlete and BRAVA co-creator Stephanie Jamain.

We spoke about her introduction to running, how sports help her stay active and spend time with friends, and how her love for triathlon led to the creation of Brava.

On top of it all she’s a sports nutritionist so it was fun to pick her brain on that, especially when it comes to fueling for these long endurance races. Hope you enjoy this talk as much as I did.

On this episode of Le Run Down we recorded live from Gusta restaurant for the first race of the RUNK Race Series here in Montreal. This event was created by Gophrette Power who you can find @gophobservation on Instagram.

This first edition is called La Ultima Carrera. It’s an alley cat style race where the goal will be to collect items at each checkpoint on the way to the finish, only finding out where they need to go once the race starts.

Take a listen to see how this one unfolds and hearing what the runners have to say after the race!

On this episode of Le Run Down I chatted with my good friend and training buddy Geoff McGregor. Growing up in British Columbia he took a liking to music and eventually got into endurance sports.

It was through sport that he learned that hard work leads to positive results. Those same life lessons translated into the world of ultra running.

I consider Geoff to be one of the strongest runners I know both through his ability to tackle big training weeks and also his mental toughness. He’s got a drive to succeed at everything he does, yet somehow always finds a way to make it fun and enjoyable for those around him.
