On this episode of Le Run Down, we got to know marathoner, community leader and co-founder of WERUN313, Lance Woods.

Lance moved away from his home town of Detroit to pursue education, and when he returned his focus shifted to bettering his community and sharing his passion for running with everyone.

In only a few years, Lance and his team have built something lasting and life changing through this sport we all love. He's also pursuing his own goals as he prepares to take on his first ever Boston Marathon this spring.

On this episode episode of Le Run Down I had a nice chat with marketer, marathoner and community builder, Jenna Crawford. Whether it's through her creativity, growth marketing expertise or mentoring others, she has found a way to link it back to endurance sports. Her passion for running has grown to the ultra trails and she enjoys using that to connect like minded people within the Los Angeles run community.

On this episode of Le Run Down we spoke with Elite Marathoner and Olympian, Dayna Pidhoresky.

Growing up Dayna always loved to run but was interested in a variety of sports like soccer, figure skating, and gymnastics. After completing university she decided to invest more time into running and that move paid dividends.

Now after more than 12 years, she's a 10 time national medalist, was named to the Canadian World Champion Team, and most recently competed in her first Olympics in Tokyo.

On this episode of Le Run Down we chat with nonbinary pro triathlete, "The Purple Tiger" Rach McBride.

At an early age they enjoyed running cross country but traded it for something more creative in their early teens.

Rach rediscovered a love for endurance sports in their late 20's, finding early success in the marathon. Then, with the encouragement of a mentor, they began training to become an elite triathlete, turned pro and never looked back.

On this episode of Le Run Down we swim, bike and run around the world with extreme endurance athlete and adventurer, Jonas Deichmann. @jonas_deichmann

Even since Jonas could remember he was always interest in exploring and discovery.

His sense for adventure and love of cycling has allowed him to cross many countries and continents in record breaking times. In his latest expedition he circumnavigated the entire world in the longest triathlon of his life, completing the equivalent of 120 ironman. As his book titles "The limit is just me", the sky is the limit for this incredible guy.
