Description

On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with pro wakeboarder, Ben Leclair. He always had an interest in extreme sports but truly found his passion on the water.

Determined to improve, he quickly found himself climbing the ranks and competing at the highest level. But one day an accident took that all away, paralyzing him from the neck down.

2 years later he sits in a wheelchair but has regained mobility in both arms. Ben has stayed positive since day one and definitely has the mindset to defy the odds and prove everyone wrong.

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.
