Mile 68: Marathon Project Breakout 26.2 Mile Star Natasha Wodak -- 2nd Fastest Canadian Woman Ever

Natasha Wodak holds the Canadian 10,000m National Record and was the first Canadian woman half marathoner under 70 minutes. After a seven year hiatus since her marathon debut at Toronto in 2013, Natasha returned to the event last week in Chandler, AZ for the Marathon Project. It was a scintillating return as she ran a 2:26:19 for a top five finish — the second fastest Canadian female performance in history. Natasha takes us inside the Marathon Project, her physical and mental preparation, and her Tokyo Olympic dreams. Along the way we hear about how elites have similar marathon racing experiences as the rest of us and how finding joy in the process yielded joy in her outcome.
