To set a goal and pour your life into it is something I’ve always admired about endurance athletes. For many professional runners, the Olympics is the ultimate achievement. The chance to be amongst the best in the world, compete in a world class event and to put on your country’s colors is an opportunity of a lifetime.On today’s episode of Just In Stride we get a pro’s perspective with elite marathoner Rory Linkletter.Rory found running through school and really never looked back. As he progressed, he realized there were opportunities for him in the sport and had the drive to succeed.Today, he’s one of the fastest Canadian distance runners there is. Training full time in Flagstaff with Coach Ryan Hall by his side, he’s had an impressive stretch of races. All leading up to the Seville marathon in February, where he hopes to put together his best performance yet and crack the Canadian Olympic team.-------Offer from Xact Nutrition: This episode is presented by our friends at Xact Nutrition and they are offering you 15% OFF your order when you use the code JUSTINSTRIDE.
