This episode of the Athletics Ontario
Running Podcast features a special guest from the heart of the city
of Toronto: Joe Francisco (@joooe.francisco). Joe sits down with us
to share his incredible journey toward a 3:10 marathon at the TCS
Toronto Waterfront Marathon, an endeavor that is teaching him the
true meaning of strength and self-confidence. He also reflects on
his homecoming to the Toronto running scene, a community he
describes as having "pure Toronto energy." Tune in to hear how
being a part of this community team has allowed him to share his
personal journey and connect with other runners through Search for
Strides.
