On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with amputee ultrarunner and cancer survivor, Jacky Hunt-Broersma.

Originally from South Africa, she moved around a lot before eventually calling Arizona her home. In 2001 a cancer diagnosis required the amputation of her leg, but eventually she found running which gave her a new outlook on life.

Today she holds multiple endurance records as an amputee runner. Most recently completing 104 marathons in 104 straight days for charity, proving that we are all capable of extraordinary things.

On this episode of Le Run Down we explored the elements with professional adventure and documentary filmmaker, Caroline Cote.

As a kid Caroline was always interested in discovering nature and outdoors. These days she uses running as a way to prepare herself for new challenges and expeditions she's about to face.

She's an amazing talent and person, capturing beautiful images in some of the most remote and untouched areas on our planet. Her passion is her life, one that allows her to feel fulfilled every day.

On this episode of Le Run Down we had the honor of speaking with one of Canada's fastest marathoners and Olympian, Trevor Hofbauer.

Trevor didn't enjoy running track in high school but could see the benefits it gave him for his true passion, basketball.

He continued to run cross country as a way to stay in shape and that developed into so much more. Today, he's one of two Canadians to break the 2 hour 10 minute marathon barrier and has his sites set on Paris 2024.

On this episode of Le Run Down we caught up with Toronto Marathon Runner and member of Reid Coolsaet's "Coolsaet Go" Run Club, Nick Rupert.

Nick ran track as a teenager but ended up having a negative association to the sport and decided to give it up for over 5 years. He returned to running to improve his mental and physical health with the goal of racing the Boston Marathon one day.

This year he achieved that goal, toeing the line and completing his first, making that dream become a reality.

On this episode of Le Run Down we talk running in a mindful way with elite marathoner, yoga instructor and writer, Alex Dickinson.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alex just after the California International Marathon last year and knew then he'd be a great guest on the show.

He's a very interesting guy who has found synergy between his two passions, yoga and running. He's also well travelled and isn't scared to switch up his living situation from time to time, even if that means living in a van for a while.
