On this episode of Le Run Down we spoke to the funny and charismatic Chris Chavez. You may recognize his work on SI.com, or his voice on one of the podcasts that he hosts for the Citius Mag network, but he has his own running goals and aspirations too.
He’s already covered all six marathon world majors and he’s been to the Olympics too, but what fuels his fire right now is cracking that 3 hour marathon mark. One thing's for sure, if his running goes as well as his journalism, he’ll be crossing the line sub 3 in no time.
