Le Run Down

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with mental skills coach, Camille Charbonneau. She grew up playing rugby, and took a liking weight lifting and martial arts. Charbonneau embraced mindfulness and meditation in order to balance and counter the often aggressive nature of those activities. We go in depth on the topics of mental skills, confidence, self-talk, visualization, stress management, and goal setting, all of which might help you in your own development as an athlete.IG: https://www.instagram.com/cam.charb/FB: https://www.facebook.com/cam.charbzLinks from news:https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/sports/Gabriele-Gabe-Grunewald-Runner-With-Cancer-Who-Inspired-Many-Dies-at-32-511190441.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_BAYBrandhttps://www.si.com/edge/2019/06/17/nike-virgil-abloh-athlete-progress-collection-caster-semenya-clothingLinks from the episode:http://www.peakperform.ca/about.html

On this episode of Le Run Down I drove down to Ottawa to speak with Marathon mom, Olympian, and dietitian Krista Duchene.Growing up she played hockey over the winter and ran in the summer, creating balance in her life. Her breakthrough came after her win at the Mississauga Marathon on mothers day.In 2016 she ran in the Rio Olympics, and in 2018, at the age of 41, she finished 3rd at the Boston Marathon. The results speak for themselves and Krista is proving that age is only a number. https://kristaduchene.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krista_DuChene  https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/trackandfield/kamauchi-linden-boston-marathon-winners-1.4621664  https://runningmagazine.ca/rio-2016/canadians-in-rio-olympic-marathon/

On this episode of Le Run Down I had another great chat in Boston with ultra runner and strength coach Mat Dore.Growing up playing hockey, he used his competitive spirit to constantly challenge himself. That same intensity later translated into running and often pushed him to the limit. Since then, he's learned to harness that energy to train and race smart.We got to speak about this experience in ultra trail running, adventure racing and what he expected for his first ever Boston Marathon. Safe to say his prediction was pretty damn close.News links:https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a27412249/who-is-running-chicago-marathon/https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a27431980/pittsburgh-marathon-last-place-finishers/Episode links:IG- @mathieudorerunIG- @vicefitnessalburyFB- https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Coach/Mathieu-Dore-2045554149005920/https://www.vicefitnessalbury.com/https://www.baa.org/

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a chat with Ottawa City Run Club member, triathlete and coach, Kelsey Hunter. She grew up as a swimmer and competed through university until it just wasn’t fun anymore. She retired from the sport she loved, until a few friends encouraged her to sign up for her first triathlon just 6 years ago. Since then she hasn’t looked back.We discussed Ottawa Race Weekend, her journey to becoming a triathlete, the stresses work can put on training.Growing up with professional athlete as a parent has taught Kelsey hard work. And with the Toronto Waterfront Marathon coming up this fall. She’ll use that mentality to try and get a Boston Qualifier. Can’t wait to see how she does!News Links:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/london-marathon-thousands-of-seaweed-pods-will-replace-single-use-plastics/https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a27244432/eliud-kipchoge-wins-london-marathon-in-2nd-fastest-time-in-history/Episode Links:http://www.6run3.com/https://www.runottawa.ca/news-item/2019-registration-is-now-openIG @kelseyhunterIG @ottcityrunclub

On this episode of Le Run Down I was lucky to have a great talk in Boston with professional endurance athlete, Tommy Puzey. From early childhood through high school and into university, running remained a constant in his life. In fact, once he started he never really stopped.Years of hard work and determination brought him to where he is today. He’s a student of sport and continuously pushes himself, to unlock his true potential. With the U.S Olympic Trials in his sights, he’ll lean on the unconditional love and support of his family to make that dream become a reality.News links:https://www.podiumrunner.com/stephen-vangampleare-takes-the-boston-marathon-open-title_177135?fbclid=IwAR0EBug7rXtn4Drx-pvk2FBLKO9FdkJi3NeuIqhO3BTrwzK5REB8KwMoiyghttps://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/ca/en/app-run-montreal/Show links:https://www.peakrunperformance.com/coachesIG @tommy_rivsFB https://www.facebook.com/thomas.puzeyhttp://trailandultrarunning.com/brothers-jacob-and-rivers-puzey-to-compete-with-the-elites-at-the-2017-boston-marathon/
