On this episode of Le Run Down we caught up with Toronto Marathon Runner and member of Reid Coolsaet's "Coolsaet Go" Run Club, Nick Rupert.

Nick ran track as a teenager but ended up having a negative association to the sport and decided to give it up for over 5 years. He returned to running to improve his mental and physical health with the goal of racing the Boston Marathon one day.

This year he achieved that goal, toeing the line and completing his first, making that dream become a reality.
