On this episode of Le Run Down I had an amazing conversation with Pro Skier, Runner and Wings For Life World Run Ambassador, Mike Shaw. Mike participated in many sports growing up but really excelled at extreme sports and fell in love with free skill skiing. In an instance that love was taken away from him after tragic ski accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. Miraculously he's been able to recover from his injury and enjoys a pretty normal life, dedicated to helping others. He's now a motivational speaker, runner and yes, he's even been able to hit the slopes, something he never thought would be possible.  News Links: https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/ruth-chepngetich-runs-10402-breaks-half-marathon-world-record-in-istanbul/ (Ruth Chepngetich runs 1:04:02, breaks half-marathon world record in Istanbul - Canadian Running Magazine) https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/about/the-foundation (Our Mission - Wings for Life World Run) https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/locations (Locations - Wings for Life World Run) Show Links: https://www.mikeshawski.com/about (About — Mike Shaw (mikeshawski.com)) https://www.mikeshawski.com/book (Book — Mike Shaw (mikeshawski.com)) News: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/04/13/kim-potter-tim-gannon-resign-brooklyn-center-daunte-wright-shooting/ (CBS Minnesota - Daunte Wright Killing: Officer Kim Potter, Police Chief Resign; Potter May Soon Face Criminal Charges) https://theintercept.com/2021/04/07/nypd-strategic-response-unit-george-floyd-protests/ (The Intercept - NYPD “Goon Squad” Manual Teaches Officers to Violate Protesters’ Rights) https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/new-mexico-ends-qualified-immunity (Washington Examiner - New Mexico ends qualified immunity) https://www.theroot.com/maybe-america-is-racist-1846667213 (The Root - Maybe America Is Racist) How to Help: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ (Black Lives Matter - Ways You Can Help) https://blacklivesmatter-canada.carrd.co/ (Black Lives Matter Canada) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZH0xk5FqYJXwymoue-dnjqJEMj3FplF0Om8wdm8HZd0/edit (Montreal-Based Racial Justice Organizations) https://bailfunds.github.io/ (List of American and Canadian Bail Funds) Educational Materials: https://www.reclaimtheblock.org/home/#resources (Reclaim The Block - Resources and Downloads) http://criticalresistance.org/abolish-policing/ (Critical Resistance - Abolish Policing) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYn1EYMdFkqnY2I4I8FzaJoGqEGLdHi6v (Critical Resistance - Breaking Down the Prison Industrial Complex video series) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEVoX-RwMJw&bpctr=1591459509 (Second Thought - America's Police Problem)

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with distance runner, and director of sales and marketing for Ciele Athletics, Dan Marrett. Growing up Dan ran for sport but years later it was a work fitness challenge that drew him back to running and he just kept going. He continues to pursue personal excellence in running as he builds a young family and a career in Vancouver. Part of that journey is discovering and sharing stories through running, allowing him to connect with runners from all walks of life.

On this episode of Le Run Down we went on an adventure with ultra distance runner and World explorer Ray Rahab. Looking at him now you'd never guess he used to be a big smoker and drinker. But in his early 30's he decided he had enough and changed the course of his life. He's travelled through jungles, extreme cold and grueling heat. Crossed countries, continents and thousands of miles. Including crossing the sahara in 111 days, which opened his eyes to all of life's possibilities.

For Marge, running followed her wherever she went. It started as a way to stay healthy and fit but eventually turned into so much more. From 10ks and half marathons to major marathons and The Speed Project, preparation was the key to success. And as she continues to chases her own dreams, she's always encouraging others to find self love and compassion through running.

Whether it was competitive hockey and getting a good education or more recently running and multi sport, Jeremy always gave it his 110%. We'll discuss his journey into endurance sports, the challenges beginners face and all the lessons along the way. It's not always about winning or being the best, in fact for most of us, it's more about enjoying the process and taking what you can on race day.

On this episode of Le Run Down I got to catch up with an old friend. Competitive distance runner, RunBoston tour guide and director of Athletic Programs for the Boston Athletics association, Wayne Levy. Running has always been and continues to be a constant in Wayne's everyday life. In fact almost everything he does revolves around running. From his own running pursuit, to his involvement with the B.A.A, and helping the homeless literally get back on their feet, Wayne continues to pay it forward. Running saved his life and hopes it will save many others along the way.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had an entertaining talk with Elite Marathoner and 50K track World Record Holder, CJ Albertson. He grew up with a competitive nature and a desire to win at everything he did, not just in sports. That spirit definitely carried through into his pro marathon career. We spoke about CJ's incredible showing at the U.S trials, his experience at the marathon project and how his training regiment might be a little crazier than most. He's one of the most promising marathoners in the sport, so don't be surprised if you see his name atop the leader-board in the near future.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with marathoner, event host and award winning actor, Stephen Alan Wilson. Stephen discovered running in 2014 as a way to shed a few pounds and it changed his life. What started as a few miles a week quickly tuned into a healthier lifestyle, half and full marathons, with the occasional podium finish. His career as an actor and long-time event host has taken him around the world, where he loves to encourage others to lace em up, head out for a run and most importantly, have fun!

This podcast allows runners to connect and envision what they could become. Everyone starts somewhere but it’s how you move forward that determines which path you’ll take. For some, running is just exercise, however we believe it is much more than that: it’s mental, physical and in some cases even spiritual. Our guests are inspiring in terms of their accomplishments but they put one foot in front of the other just like everyone else.
