"I stopped trying to prove them wrong, and started trying to prove myself right."
Lanni Marchant's athletic evolution is nothing short of inspiring. In this 200th episode of the Athletics Ontario Running Podcast, the Rio 2016 Olympian and one of Canada's fastest women gets vulnerable about the reality of professional running and opens up candidly about the hurdles she faced off the track. We dive deep into Lanni's unconventional start, her candid and ongoing recovery from an eating disorder, and the resilience required to bounce back from injury.
Now in her forties, Lanni explains why strength training is the key to longevity and how she redefined success on her own terms with a massive shift in mindset.
Don't miss this powerful conversation on resilience, self-awareness, and the holistic health of the modern runner.
