On this episode of Le Run Down I had a great chat with multi Canadian record holder and Olympian, Gabriela DeBues-Stafford.
She comes from a running family and that influenced her as a kid. As a pro she found early success training out of Glasgow, but eventually returned to North America, where she now trains with the Bowerman Track Club.
It’s so remarkable how much she’s already accomplished in her career and she continues to push herself to become a better athlete each and every day.
