Two-time Olympian Andrea Seccafien and I last chatted at the beginning of 2020, so it’s needless to say, we had a lot to catch up on. We talk about the road to the Olympics, which was challenging for everyone, but slightly more challenging for her, and her experience doubling in Tokyo in the 5,000 and the 10,000. She also talks candidly about the significant injury that has had her sidelined from her profession for six months (trigger warning for dealing with anxiety and injury recovery). Andrea is a fantastic athlete, a generous coach, and one hell of a runner, and I felt honoured that she joined me for this episode.

When Andrea Seccafien crossed the finish line, looked up at the scoreboard and saw her time broke the Canadian 10k Record her first question was IS THIS REAL LIFE?!

The current Canadian record holder in the women's half marathon, Andrea Seccafien is a dedicated athlete who is killing it and just getting started in reaching for her big goals. Currently living in Australia and training with the Melbourne Track Club, Andrea is splitting her focus between the road and her track specialty of the 5,000. She talks with me about coming back from injury, racing in Japan and what makes living in Australia so awesome.
