Five months from the Paris Olympics, reigning world champion Marco Arop is “feeling as healthy as ever” while continuing to set Canadian records.
He ran to a pair of national marks in the span of a week to open his indoor season in the 800 metres and 1,000, finishing 54-100ths of a season shy of the world record in the latter event.
“The one thing that stood out in both [races] was how comfortable I felt from the start to finish,” the Edmonton native said last week from Starkville, Miss., where he lives and trains.
