On this episode of Le Run Down I spoke with Canada's best 10K runner, Benjamin Flanagan.

Ben played all sports growing up but showed some promise in X country back in high school. It's there that the dream to one day make an Olympic team was born.

He currently hold Canada's 10k record and many other titles. And most recently took home his 3rd win at the Falmouth road race. Seems like he's gaining momentum at the perfect time, as he looks to seize this opportunity and make his first Olympic appearance in Paris 2024.
