On this episode of Le Run Down I had a chat with the national Canadian record holder in the half marathon and marathon, Rachel Cliff.

We spoke while she was in town for the Canadian Track and Field Championship, where she placed 3rd in the 10,000 meter. Two weeks later she took home the bronze for Canada at the Pan Am Games in Peru.

Rachel's a talented athlete with a powerful story of perseverance. She was denied a spot on the 2016 Olympic Team despite running the 5,000 meter standard. Now she's back stronger than ever with her sights set on 2020 in Tokyo.
