Marco Arop is arguably one of the most accomplished mid-distance runners in Canadian history. He’s only 22 years old but he’s already achieved more than most track athletes can dream of in a career. He’s a Pan Am Games gold medalist, a world championship finalist, and was an NCAA standout at Mississippi State before going pro in 2019. Since then, he’s become a 5-time Diamond League podium finisher and competed in this summer’s Tokyo Olympics, placing 7th in his semi-final. But Marco hasn’t been without his share of challenges, both on and off the track.Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243
