On this episode of Le Run Down I had an awesome chat with distance runner and community builder, Robbie Tubajon. I've had the pleasure of meeting Rob at a few running events throughout the years and simply put his energy is contagious. He has the ability to raise people up, supports them and helps them grow. It's not only his passion, it's his job. Whether it's a race weekend, long distance relay or world major, Rob always brings the positivity and a great big smile wherever he goes.

David's first love was cycling, embarking on long multiday tours to travel and explore Europe. He still uses the bike to commute but now it's more of a way to get to exciting run destinations. He's an exceptional endurance athlete but what makes David even more interesting is his keen understanding of fueling and how it affects performance. It's a topic I've been very curious about lately and I can't wait to share his knowledge with you all.

Justin played all sports growing up but decided to turn his focus to running. With the influence of his father and coach's, he's been able to grow up through the sport in a positive way. He holds speedy times in the 1500 meters all the way up to the marathon and he races all distances to keep himself sharp for any challenge. His ultimate goal is to make an Olympic team, slowly building year after year in pursuit of his own personal potential.

Ben played all sports growing up but showed some promise in X country back in high school. It's there that the dream to one day make an Olympic team was born. He currently hold Canada's 10k record and many other titles. And most recently took home his 3rd win at the Falmouth road race. Seems like he's gaining momentum at the perfect time, as he looks to seize this opportunity and make his first Olympic appearance in Paris 2024.

I was fortunate to meet Josh a few years back at Ultra Trail Harricana in Charlevoix Quebec and his energy was contagious. He's got a love and passion for the sport that's hard to beat. He's taken on many challenging races and always gives it his all, most recently tackling the TransRockies and finishing 3rd, after taking the title back in 2021. He takes that same work ethic and applies it to all aspects of life, whether it be his marriage, his kids or his students in the classroom too.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with marathoner and Tracksmith Marketing Manager, Drew Hartman. Growing up it was all about soccer for Drew. It was only when he realized he couldn't live out his childhood dream that running took center stage. Now he's tackling his personal goal of running 10 marathons before his 30th birthday, and using his role with Tracksmith to help grow communities and provide positive experiences wherever he can.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with endurance athlete and suicide prevention advocate, Lynn Keane. She loved running in school and was competitive on the track before taking a long hiatus from the sport, coming back at age 39. Running and triathlon remain a huge part of her life. It helped her to grieve over the tragic loss of her child, and allowed Lynn to find a path forward showing tremendous perseverance and resilience.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great conversation with ultra trail runner and recent Western States 3rd place finisher, Marianne Hogan. She did elite level triathlon, distance running for her school in California, trails in Colorado, and over the last few years Marianne has built a solid ultra running resume. Battling through serious injury, she earned herself a Golden Ticket to Western States and finished that race on the podium. It really seems like she's finding her stride and ready to take the ultra scene by storm.

He's been passionate about sports since he can remember and used running as a way to stay in shape for his first love which was basketball. Shadoe's enjoyment for running only came later but now uses it as a vehicle for inner growth and personal development. It's even lead him to the creation of a run group that provides all runners with the power to discover and explore their potential through movement.

From a young age, running was a way for David to enjoy nature and explore the outdoors. As a teen he was able to shift that passion to track and field but managed to keep it fun while racing competitively. Fast forward and he's now taking on ultra distances, nurturing his light heartedness towards the sport with challenges, and generating funds for charities in need.

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.

This episode is all about the movie, “Do The Right Thing" (1989) starring, directed and written by Spike Lee and reviewed by Allison Busner and Kendra Leigh Timmins. *corrections: At one point during our discussions we refer to this movie as being Spike Lee's first film, and have since learned it was not. It was his third feature film (following “She's Gotta Have It” (1986) and “School Daze” (1988)), but our opinions still hold true that this film is an impressive showing for one of his earlier films, but not necessarily his first.

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.  News Notes: https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/aleksandr-sorokin-breaks-100k-world-record/ (https://runningmagazine.ca/sections/runs-races/aleksandr-sorokin-breaks-100k-world-record/) https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en (Join the Wings for Life World Run, May 8, 2022 - Wings for Life World Run) Show Notes: https://olympic.ca/team-canada/trevor-hofbauer/ (Trevor Hofbauer - Team Canada - Official Olympic Team Website) https://trevorhofbauer.com/ (Trevor Hofbauer) https://www.instagram.com/trevhofbauer/?hl=en (Trevor Hofbauer (@trevhofbauer) • Instagram photos and videos) News: https://kstp.com/special-coverage/george-floyd/minnesota-department-of-human-rights-to-release-findings-of-investigation-into-minneapolis-police-department-wednesday/ (KSTP - State investigation: City, Minneapolis Police Department engage in ‘practice of race discrimination') https://www.npr.org/2022/05/01/1095429608/california-police-biased-report-no-plans-address-problem (NPR - Some California police are biased.

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.

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.

Bestselling author Imbolo Mbue reads from her latest novel, How Beautiful We Were, and tells us why the story took her almost two decades to write and release.

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

On this episode of Le Run Down I was lucky to connect with marathoner, community leader and Parkdale co-captain, Michelle Kay. She was more of a sprinter growing up but found an appreciation for distance running after joining the iconic Parkdale Road Runners. As a leader and organizer, Michelle's been able to inspire those around her, and has been working within the run community to help raise awareness of anti-asian hate and social injustice.

On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great conversation with runner, writer and community builder, Sean Hamilton. Running is a journey. For Sean, his next step was a 6 month runcation to discover new places on foot, but it was cut short by the pandemic. Settling in Vancouver, he found the trails and the words to write his first book. He even landed a job with one of the fastest growing brands in running. And with the birth of a run group called "Dark Starts", Sean certainly seems to have found his new home.

On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with masters sprinter and multiple record holder, Karla Del Grande. She loved running in school but found a new fire for it in her 40s, and now she's been inducted into two halls of fame and awarded WMA Female Athlete of the decade. She's the woman who came closest to running her age in the 400 meter, falling short by just one second, and it's something she hopes to achieve later this year.
