On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with two time Olympian and middle distance Elite runner, Luc Bruchet.

Growing up Luc was competitive and into all sports but really excelled in cross country running.

He's enjoyed a lot of success in the sport and earned his spot on two Olympic teams but his mindset over the years has changed. Now more than even he understands the importance of a balanced life and the positive impact that has on performance, even at the highest level.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had an excellent conversation with Olympian, Pro Triathlete and National Marathon Record Holder, Malindi Elmore.

She's an incredibly decorated athlete, with 3 different professional careers. But what I found most fascinating was her transition from short track to Ironman's at the pro level all while growing her young family.

Today Malindi is an elite marathoner and is ready to compete at the 2020 Toyko Olympics. 17 years after her first appearance!

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with Elite Ultra Trail Runner, Arden Young.

For Arden early on, running was a way for her to lose weight and maintain a certain body image. Today, her relationship to running looks much different.

She's an incredible athlete who focused most of her efforts on the trails. Racing distances ranging from 50 miler all the way to 100 and by the end of them, you can usually find her name a top the leader board.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with Ultra Runner and Western States competitor, Eric Senseman.

He currently resides in Flagstaff Arizona, where he trains with some of the best athletes on the planet and is a very impressive runner in his own right.

In this conversation Eric speaks about his breakthroughs and his struggles in the sport he loves so much. And breaks down the Western States race and his thoughts leading up to his 3rd appearance at the historic 100 miler.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had an incredible conversation with runner and Founder of Rising Hearts, Jordan Marie Daniel.

Jordan has always advocated for indigenous peoples, but the 2019 Boston marathon was a huge signal boost for her message.

She loves running, and uses the platform it provides to raise awareness, and promote positive change for the indigenous community.
