Episode 385: Rory Linkletter - 2:08 Marathon & 2024 Olympics

Rory Linkletter is a Canadian Marathon Athlete sponsored by Puma. He recently clocked a 2:08:01 marathon, which falls 9 seconds under the standard required to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Per the Canadian selections process, it is unlikely his time of 2:08 will not grant him a spot on their team. In this episode, we discussed his path to 2:08, his training under the guidance of American distance great Ryan Hall, his and others decision to go straight to the marathon after college, training insight, fueling and hydration targets, why some athletes favor certain super shoes, and much more!
