    On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with pro wakeboarder, Ben Leclair. He always had an interest in extreme sports but truly found his passion on the water.Determined to improve, he quickly found himself climbing the ranks and competing at the highest level. But one day an accident took that all away, paralyzing him from the neck down.2 years later he sits in a wheelchair but has regained mobility in both arms. Ben has stayed positive since day one and definitely has the mindset to defy the odds and prove everyone wrong.News links:https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/ca/en/app-run-montreal/Episode links:@benleclair@wflworldrunhttps://www.bensquad.org/Video links of Ben:https://vimeo.com/183035588https://vimeo.com/149985804https://youtu.be/uTyICiBy8mI

    In this episode of Le Run Down I got to interview the fastest marathoner on show to date, Nicole Stevenson. She took up running at a very young age, and competed through high school and university. She enjoyed long distance running the most, and won her first coached marathon in Toronto with a time of 2 hours 36 minutes. She went on to improve to a personal best time of 2 hours 32 minutes and earned the Canadian national marathon title. Nicole is now retired from competitive running but she continues to share her passion and knowledge with high performing athletes. Coaching and helping them reach their full potential, the same way she was supported throughout her successful career.

  • #13: Scott Sternthal - osteopath, Ultra trail runner, Bromont Ultra, Harricana, 125k, Marathoner
    On this episode of Le Run Down I got to speak with ultra trail runner, Scott Sternthal. His journey in endurance sports began at the age of 18, when he started racing mountain bikes with his buddies. His passion for being in nature ultimately led Scott to trail running. So far he's had some great results, with a 2nd place finish at the Bromont Ultra 80k in 2015 and a 5th place finish at the Harricana 125k a year later. All while establishing himself as a top osteopath and being a family man too. One thing’s for sure, Scott knows how to push his limits and we’re excited to see what he gets up to next.News links:https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a26340590/trail-runner-killed-mountain-lion/https://www.theoutrun.ca/Episode links:http://scottsternthal.com/FB https://www.facebook.com/sternthalosteo/IG https://www.instagram.com/scottsternthal/?hl=enhttp://harricana.info/en/https://bromontultra.com/
