When Australian runner Izzi Batt-Doyle didn’t get selected in the marathon team for Paris, she didn’t give up on her Olympic hopes. Instead, she turned her attention to running fast on the track, clocking 14:49.75 over 5,000m in Liège, Belgium, to claim her spot on the team. That clutch performance just 11 days before the qualifying period closed put Izzi in the record books as fourth fastest Australian woman of all time over 5,000m.
In this conversation, Izzi shares how she dealt with the marathon selection disappointment and bounced back to run an Olympic Standard in the 5,000m. She also describes the wholesome fun that athletes have on training camps - Stewy McSweyn is apparently great at slam poetry, who knew?!
Izzi is a professional runner with Asics, co-founder and associate coach of Run As One and co-owner of café and running store, The Run House in Adelaide. She’s competed at the Tokyo Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, the World Athletics Championships, the World Athletics Road Running Championships and the World Athletics Cross-Country Championships, and is gearing up for her second Olympics in Paris.
