Canadian-American Olympian Rory Linkletter joins us ahead of the 2025 Chicago Marathon, where he will attempt to break Cam Levins’ North American marathon record (2:05:36). We talk about his Boston breakthrough earlier this year (06:32), why he chose Chicago and his rivalry with Connor Mance (11:15), and his Olympic experience in Paris (18:19). Rory dives deep into training under coach John Green (27:43), sports science and lactate testing (34:53), the mental side of the marathon (38:48), and the business of being a pro runner (42:47). He discusses Puma’s role in the super shoe era (51:25), his views on doping (01:10:37), and what it will take to set the North American record in Chicago (01:13:49).
