Coming off of Leslie's most successful fall of her career-- Canadian Road 10km Champion and 2:28 Marathon for the win in Philadelphia-- Leslie is looking to build on her success in preparation for her next racing block, featuring half marathons in Vancouver and Atlanta. We joined her for specific half marathon prep one week out from her first race back, where she hopes to qualify for the World Half Marathon Championships later this year. We discuss her plans for the future, including her hopes to be selected for the Canadian World Championships Team for the Marathon in Eugene this upcoming summer.

Leslie Sexton took the break in races this past year and a half to focus on the fundamentals - shorter distances and challenging workouts. And it paid off: in 2021 Leslie became the National 5K AND 10K champion. To top off her year, this past weekend she won the Philadelphia Marathon and set a new course record, making her the sixth fastest female marathoner in Canada.
Runner, coach and advocate for equality in sport, Leslie Sexton joins me this week on the show. She talks all about her move from the track to the road, what it's like to inspire young runners and a few of her ups and downs on the way to the start line. She also takes on the first ever WRC Star Wars trivia challenge...
