Natasha Wodak Vs. The Marathon

The Terminal Mile

For years Natasha has been seen as someone who found their stride in the 10,000; making 3 World Championship teams, winning Pan Am gold in 2019 and owning the national event record since 2015. That's why it came as a bit of a surprise that when the start list for last December’s Marathon Project came out, Wodak’s name was on that list. Nevertheless, when December rolled around, Wodak showed up in Arizona and knocked nearly 9 minutes off her only other attempt at the event, running 2:26:19; good enough for 5th and the second fastest Canadian Marathon of all time,far surpassing the Olympic qualifying time. We caught up with Natasha earlier this week and it was all on the table, including growth as an athlete and a human being and what the future for Natasha might hold.
