Description
Two weeks are all that remain before the Tokyo Olympics and with that in mind, I was very fortunate to get the chance to chat with Jenny Blundell. Off the back of her national 5,000m title, and a dominant run just shy of the Olympic standard - Jenny has recently been selected to represent Australia in the 5,000m. It’s a jump up in distance for her, having previously shown her strength over the 1500m. Though with her name regularly appearing amongst the best, it couldn’t be more exciting to see what she can do on the Olympic stage!! As you’ll hear, she’s got a good head on her shoulders. With injury comebacks behind her, inspiring races, plenty of hard work, support from New Balance and now her second run in the green and gold - she has really lived the full running experience, and still living it at that!! We wish Jenny all the best! Do us proud and thanks for giving up your time to chat on the show!
