On this episode of Le Run Down I caught up with distance runner, and director of sales and marketing for Ciele Athletics, Dan Marrett.
Growing up Dan ran for sport but years later it was a work fitness challenge that drew him back to running and he just kept going.
He continues to pursue personal excellence in running as he builds a young family and a career in Vancouver. Part of that journey is discovering and sharing stories through running, allowing him to connect with runners from all walks of life.
