On this episode of Le Run Down I speak with one of Canada’s best elite distance runners, Tasha Wodak.




Wodak grew up playing multiple sports and fell in love with running on the track. Hailing from B.C, she studied in Arkansas on a running scholarship and eventually at Simon Fraser University. She's been running ever since.




Find out how Tasha pushed through setbacks, overcame injuries and found success late in her running career. Tasha is an Olympian and holds the National Record in the 10,000m. She is off to an amazing start for 2019, already winning 5 races. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
