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.

#112: Jerry Hughes - Endurance athlete, Ultra, Adversity, Gardner's Syndrome, 48 Hour Canadian Record, Marathons, 100 Milers

On this episode of Le Run Down I had an eye opening conversation with ultra runner, Jerry Hughes.

He overcame adversity far before getting into running, pushing forward through his diagnosis and treatment for Gardner's Syndrome.

He used running as a way to improve his health and quickly realized endurance was for him. From marathons, to 100 milers and now the Canadian 48 hour record, he's inspiring the run community and proving that we are all capable of so much more than we think.
