First time ever! That is the Mixed Race Walker Olympic Event and Canada is sending Olivia Lundman and returning guest Evan Dunfee to compete at Paris 2024! This week on the Trillium Running Podcast, they join host John Shep to chat about respecting the process and what it means to have a powerful team dynamic - and how these two things brought them together in this brand-new Olympic event!
We also get a visit from Melanie Murzeau to get amped up about the third edition of the Scarborough 5K, running on August 10, 2024!

We have Olympic fever!! Ben Flanagan, Canadian men's 5000m hopeful in Paris 2024, returns to Athletics Ontario's Trillium Running Podcast to share how he has evolved as a runner over the last two years (since our last interview), over the last six months (since making his Olympic 5000m standard), and over the last week (since a disappointing showing at Canada's Olympic Trials). He is ready for the Paris Olympics! Listen to this episode so that you are too!
