Burundian-American professional distance runner and three-time Olympian Diane Nukuri is our guest on the fourth episode of Season Two of Bètá Convo Podcast.

Nukuri talks about what it felt like running again in 2020, especially racing during this Covid pandemic, growing up in Burundi and more.

"What I love about the Marathon is kinda like life. Life is hard and you just have to be able to stick to what you're doing," says Nukuri.

Nukuri, who holds the Burundian national records for 1500, 5000, 10,000 metres, and the half-marathon, competed for Burundi as a fifteen-year-old in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney in the 5,000m and in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London in the marathon.
