On this episode of Le Run Down we discuss fueling with Ultra Trail Runner, David Jeker.

David's first love was cycling, embarking on long multiday tours to travel and explore Europe. He still uses the bike to commute but now it's more of a way to get to exciting run destinations.

He's an exceptional endurance athlete but what makes David even more interesting is his keen understanding of fueling and how it affects performance. It's a topic I've been very curious about lately and I can't wait to share his knowledge with you all.

On this episode of Le Run Down I enjoyed a great conversation with Elite Distance runner and Mile2Marathon coach, Justin Kent.

Justin played all sports growing up but decided to turn his focus to running. With the influence of his father and coach's, he's been able to grow up through the sport in a positive way.

He holds speedy times in the 1500 meters all the way up to the marathon and he races all distances to keep himself sharp for any challenge. His ultimate goal is to make an Olympic team, slowly building year after year in pursuit of his own personal potential.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with Canada's best 10K runner, Benjamin Flanagan.

Ben played all sports growing up but showed some promise in X country back in high school. It's there that the dream to one day make an Olympic team was born.

He currently hold Canada's 10k record and many other titles. And most recently took home his 3rd win at the Falmouth road race. Seems like he's gaining momentum at the perfect time, as he looks to seize this opportunity and make his first Olympic appearance in Paris 2024.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with Ultra Trail Runner, Joshua Ferenc.

I was fortunate to meet Josh a few years back at Ultra Trail Harricana in Charlevoix Quebec and his energy was contagious. He's got a love and passion for the sport that's hard to beat.

He's taken on many challenging races and always gives it his all, most recently tackling the TransRockies and finishing 3rd, after taking the title back in 2021. He takes that same work ethic and applies it to all aspects of life, whether it be his marriage, his kids or his students in the classroom too.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with marathoner and Tracksmith Marketing Manager, Drew Hartman.

Growing up it was all about soccer for Drew. It was only when he realized he couldn't live out his childhood dream that running took center stage.

Now he's tackling his personal goal of running 10 marathons before his 30th birthday, and using his role with Tracksmith to help grow communities and provide positive experiences wherever he can.
