Canadian marathoner Rory Linkletter and coach Ryan Hall: excelling on a razor’s edge

The Canadian and American half-marathon record-holders are thriving in their new athlete-coach relationship

Rory Linkletter is having quite a year: he has run personal bests in everything from the mile to the marathon and clocked a stunning 2:10:24 at the World Athletics Championships. He is also a good friend of The Shakeout Podcast. His last appearance on the show was following his Canadian half-marathon record. He had also just changed coaches and started working with decorated US distance runner-turned-coach Ryan Hall.
