Episode 223: Natasha Wodak

Natasha Wodak just broke the Canadian Half Marathon record at the Houston Half Marathon in a time of 69:39. This is the second time Natasha has been on the podcast so make sure you head back to episode 55 when I first got to know her!

She is a 2016 Olympian in the 10,000 meter and along with now holding the Canadian record in the Half Marathon, she also holds the 10,000 meter with a time of 31:41. Natasha is a 2019 Pan Am Champion and a 17 time National team member.

In this episode Natasha shares with us what she’s been up to over these last three years, we talk about her working with a new coach and some things she has dialed in on in workouts to work on a fast close in a race. It was my pleasure to talk with Natasha- she is full of energy and positivity radiates from her – you will hear that in the conversation.

I’ll Have Another Podcast 55: Natasha Wodak

Natasha ran the 10K in the 2016 Olympics for Canada. She is the Canadian 10k & 8k record holder and runs professionally for Asics Canada. Natasha ran in both high school and college but then took some time off after college, only to find herself back at it years later. At 35, she ran in her first Olympic games in the 10k. She has a a 5k personal best of 15:47, 10K personal best of 31:41, half marathon personal best of 1:11:20 and ran her first marathon in 2:35:11.

In this episode Natasha and I talk about her journey to making the 2016 Olympic team for Canada. We talk about what her training looks like and she gives us the inside scoop on her cross training workouts. Natasha was so fun to chat with and one thing I really love about her is though she works her butt off to accomplish big dreams, she also doesn’t take herself too seriously and still enjoys her wine and chocolate!
