#44: Lanni Marchant - Olympian, elite distance runner, recovering from surgery, Tokyo 2021
Manage episode 261730318 series 2439298
In this episode of Le Run Down, we had the privilege of speaking with Canadian Olympian and elite distance runner, Lanni Marchant.
Running was a punishment when she started out as a figure skater, but today it's the sport she loves most.
We discuss her early struggles with sports, mental health, her journey to Rio, and how she’s handled the last 3 years recovering from multiple surgeries. Despite all that, she sounds more driven than ever to line up for the Olympic Games in Tokyo next summer.
