I recently had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Rory Linkletter, a professional marathon runner for PUMA, who has a 2:08:01 marathon personal best to his name. For those interested, it is episode 385 of my podcast. Now, 2:08:01 is fast, really really fast, all on its own, but it carries the added value of being just under the Olympic Standard of 2:08:10. Rory is Canadian, so this means he is one of only two Canadians at the moment who can be considered for their marathon team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and barring not one, but two heroic performances by fellow Canadians between now and May, he will be selected to represent Canada in Paris.
Appreciate it! It was fun to chat with him. I may aim to have him back on during the tail end of his build to do a more detailed look into training methodology followed.
Incredible achievement and moving insights. Will listen to the podcast!
