    Find out about one of Canada's most promising distance runners! This week on the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, we're joined by Jadyn Keeler, the University of North Dakota standout and Canadian Track and Field League (CTFL) athlete currently shattering records in the 5,000m and 10,000m.

    Jadyn joins us to discuss her unconventional path to the NCAA, her independent recruitment hustle, and the reality of being an international student navigating NIL endorsements. But it's not all track—Jadyn also dives into her demanding double major in Molecular Biology and Geography, explaining how she balances high-level scientific research with an elite training schedule.

    Highlights include:
    - The Pivot: Transitioning from the rink to elite track and field.
    - Technical Talk: A deep dive into the "double threshold" training method.
    - Olympic Dreams: Her roadmap to representing Team Canada at LA 2028.
    - Longevity: Essential advice for young athletes on consistency and health.

    Whether you're a coach, an athlete, or a fan of the sport, Jadyn's story of scientific precision and athletic grit is a must-listen.
