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.

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with Canada's best 10K runner, Benjamin Flanagan.

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.
