Miscellaneous
On this episode of Le Run Down I had a fun chat with marathoner, event host and award winning actor, Stephen Alan Wilson. Stephen discovered running in 2014 as a way to shed a few pounds and it changed his life. What started as a few miles a week quickly tuned into a healthier lifestyle, half and full marathons, with the occasional podium finish. His career as an actor and long-time event host has taken him around the world, where he loves to encourage others to lace em up, head out for a run and most importantly, have fun!
