On today's episode of Just In Stride, we're joined by Elissa Legault, an elite long-distance runner and coach at Leggo Coaching. With standout performances on the roads, she has proven herself as a fierce competitor while also helping others chase their own running goals.
Elissa's journey hasn't been without setbacks. After dealing with a tough injury, she had to step away from competition, navigate the challenges of recovery, and rebuild both physically and mentally. Now, she's back stronger than ever, using her experiences to not only elevate her own racing but to guide the athletes she coaches.
In this episode, Elissa shares the lessons she's learned from injury, how coaching has shaped her perspective on the sport, and what's next for her as both an athlete and mentor. Her story is an honest look at perseverance, patience, and the process of coming back better than before.

On today's episode of Just In Stride, we're joined by Kevin Thoma, a dedicated marathoner, community builder, and driving force within the On Running family. Kevin is the co-founder of 612run and has played an instrumental role in fostering a culture where athletes of all levels feel inspired and connected.
His story took an unexpected turn in 2017, when a serious car accident left his running future uncertain. But Kevin refused to let go of a dream he shared with his father: completing all six World Marathon Majors together. That vision carried him through recovery and ultimately to the coveted Six Star medal, a milestone that represents not just personal achievement but also family and perseverance.
Now, as a Community Architect at On, Kevin channels his passion into helping others chase their goals. His path reminds us that running is about more than races and medals—it's about community, resilience, and the bonds that keep us moving forward.

Today's guest has already been on the show to help us with a nutrition series we did earlier this year, however I thought it would be nice to have him back on to share his story.
On this episode of Just In Stride, I had a great conversation with Elite Cyclist, Nick Kleban.
He's been cycling almost since he could walk, early on in the mountain trails and later on the open roads. It wasn't always smooth sailing but ultimately he's found himself back in the saddle and loves to compete with his team year after year.
Nick loves to geek out on gear, nutrition and race day strategy which always makes for a very interesting chat. He shares his knowledge, wisdom and enthusiasm for his sport with us, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

I always find it fascinating how our passion can take on many forms and mean different things to us throughout our lives. I also believe you need to do things you want to do while you're healthy and while you can because the opportunity to do so may not always be there. So get out there and do what you love for as long as you can.
On this episode of Just In Stride I shared a great conversation with former pro marathon and now coach, Rob Watson.
Simply put, Rob was a pure talent and wanted to run fast. He ran in school and after, in pursuit of his Olympic dream.
He never actually made an Olympic team but it certainly wasn't for a lack of trying. He ran huge mileage and went all in on his training, traveling to compete in order to make strides in his sport. He's won 4 national titles and qualified for a bunch of international competitions, including 2 world championships. Today he enjoys sharing his expertise and knowledge with others through coaching, in order to help athletes achieve their own goals.

It's funny how life changes and with that so do our priorities. What was important to you 5 or 10 years ago may have little to no significance to you today. In a lot of ways, that's what can make life exciting. Trying new things, exploring new spaces and learning new skills can be so rewarding.
On this episode of Just In Stride I moved through the journey of elite distance runner and now triathlete, Arianne Raby.
Arianne was born to run. She ran in soccer, then in school and even earned a scholarship to continue running.
We spoke about the success she had once she finished school, battling through a knee injury and even how she balances training being a new mom. But what was even more interesting was how triathlon has brought out the excitement for endurance sports in Arianne again, something she had lost after a lifetime of running.

You may be asking yourself why this episode is titled "Fuel for Thought". Any guesses?
I mean if you know me, you know I love a good old play on words, hence the name of this new series that I've produced with Xact Nutrition.
Athletes train for hours, work with coaches on technique, join workout groups and sign up for big challenges but one of the things we feel could be overlooked by athletes that is so critical, is education regarding nutrition and how it helps you perform.
So we've put together a multi episode series to discuss specific topics pertaining to just that,
in hopes that you come away with more in depth knowledge and a better understanding of nutrition.
On this episode of Just In Stride, Fuel for Thought Edition, we learn how to train our gut and execute our fueling plan on race day with Nick Kleban.
We go in depth on what it actually means to train your gut and how athletes can go about doing that effectively so they're ready on the day of their event.
Fueling is as important as the physical training itself no matter what endurance sport you choose. You can train as well as you want but if you want to optimize your performance on race day, you have to go with your gut.

When we think about our future it's good to set long term and specific goals. It's funny how putting an idea into the universe can sometimes bring it to fruition years later. Of course there will be twists and turns along the way but if we believe in the process and pursuit of those goals, nothing can stop us.
On this episode of Just In Stride we follow the journey of Pro Triathlete and winner Ironman Lake Placid 2024, Danielle Lewis.
There is a laundry list of things kids say they want to be when they grow up but for Danielle, it was to become a professional athlete. The road getting there however hasn't been easy.
She took on a number of challenges on the way to where she is today. Despite those hurdles, the drive to become a pro never left her mind. Through determination and resilience she was able to achieve her dream and she hopes her story will inspire you to reach for yours.

Some topics we covered were:

Last month I finally got to take part in an endurance event that had been on my bucket list for years. A relay race across Europe, from Strasbourg to Innsbruck, covering 420km as a relay team of six. The event was called Eurotrip and it certainly did not disappoint. Of course the highlights you see would be the smiles, beautiful scenery and happiness along the way but let me tell you, it was much harder than it looked. Facing the elements, extreme fatigue, logistics and challenging terrain for such a distance can be demoralizing at times however it's the resilience of a group of individuals that makes it all come together, creating lasting memories for a lifetime.
On this episode of Just In Stride we unpack what was The Eurotrip with the event creator himself, Yoshi Groen.
He's a great runner in his own right but he just loves putting on these exciting ultra events for the run community and it attracts runners from across the globe.
We spoke about how the idea for the Eurotrip came about, the challenges his team faces behind the scenes and the motivations around why he dedicates his time to putting it all together. In the process we get to know Yoshi on a more personal level and I'm excited to share his running journey with you all.
