Description

Recorded live at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Expo, hosts Michael Doyle, Katelyn Tocci, and Alex Cyr sit down with Natasha Wodak, Canada’s marathon record holder, for an inspiring and hilarious conversation about racing, training, and staying motivated.

They dive into Toronto Marathon weekend highlights (01:00 ), Natasha’s first marathon in 2013 (09:45 ), lessons from her comeback (12:00 ), rookie mistakes and pacing tips (16:00 ), and how to adapt to weather on race day (20:00 ). Natasha explains how she keeps running fun (27:30 ), breaks down the Toronto course (30:00 ), shares her ASICS super shoe preferences (33:45 ), and walks through her pre-race mindset (39:00 ).
