On this episode of Le Run Down I got to know pro distance runner and Tinman elite co-founder and coach, Reed Fischer.

We spoke about his career as a pro runner and coach in Boulder Colorado, and it was great to reflect with him on CIM and how he showed up for his athletes that day.

He’s been at it for years, and as he pursues a spot on an Olympic marathon team, his love for running is stronger than ever.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with adventurer and Elite Ultra Distance runner, Mathieu Blanchard.

Mathieu is some one who I've been able to watch grow fairly quickly in the sport. From intense track sessions to crazy multi hour challenges in and around Montreal, he was preparing for something great.

He's since been able to quit his job to pursue a life as a professional ultra runner. Travelling the world and competing amongst the elites on the international stage.

On this episode of Le Run Down we go across Canada with ultra runner and Mental health advocate, Skylar Roth MacDonald.

Skylar loved playing all kinds of sports, playing soccer competitively until concussions forced him to retire.

He found his love for ultra running while exploring the Canadian Rockies, and his passion, coupled with the tragic loss of his friends, inspired him to run across the country to raise awareness for mental health.

On this episode of Le Run Down I learnt a bunch about movement and why it's important for runners with triathlete, chiropractor, and elite runner Garrett De Young.

Growing up, he was a multisport athlete who got exposed to a variety of sports, and found himself excelling at running. Competing at a high level helped Garrett see the challenges athletes face and how many lacked general strength and mobility.

He is now a professional in the space, helping athletes to not only move better in sport but also in life.
