On this episode of Le Run Down, I sat down with a good friend of mine and the most recent winner of the Ultra-Trail Harricana 65k, Olivier Collin. 

Growing up he specialized in cross country racing and later on in the 1500m at the collegiate level. He was always a fast guy but when frustrating injuries came into play he was forced to change paths and pursue academics. 

Now Olivier has found his passion for running again, this time through the trails. He's racing for fun, but with talent like his, it’s been tough to keep him off the leaderboard in his first season of ultras.
