Rory Linkletter has had a banner 2024 so far: a half marathon personal best of 1:01:02 at the Houston Half Marathon in January, followed by a personal best of 2:08:01 at the Seville Marathon in February that helped him qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. He is the second fastest Canadian male of all time over the marathon distance, but he is much more that his performances. On this week's episode of the Trillium Running Podcast, Rory and host John Shep chat about his hopes and dreams for the Paris 2024 Olympics along with all the other things (coffee, kids, tattoos!!) that make Rory an amazing and interesting athlete.
