(PILOT) Natasha Wodak: Canada's Fastest Marathoner Won't Be Running at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games (And That's Ok)

No Finish Line is about life’s never ending race, our inherent desire to find new ground, personally, professionally, and on each run. In every episode, iRun editor Ben Kaplan talks to an athlete, author or other world-class super-achiever, not about their successes, but about their setbacks. No Finish Line is about our inherent will to get back in the race again. In our pilot episode, Natasha Wodak discusses her back-to-back Canadian first place finishes, following her heartbreak not meeting the qualifications for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Wodak is Canada’s all-time fastest marathon runner. She tried three times to hit the Olympic Standard—and couldn’t get it done. In a frank, emotional conversation, Wodak describes reeling from disappointment then rechannelling that energy into remembering what she loves about the sport. She wants to lower her record-setting marathon time in the fall.
