Chris Chavez is an influential and well-respected voice in the sports media and running community as a journalist and writer for Sports Illustrated. As the sports world put on hold and 2020 Olympics postponed, we reminisced about his experience of attending and covering the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio with some of the world’s most elite athletes at the pinnacle of their careers. Chris discusses what journalism means to him, especially today, putting himself out there as an individual and a writer. We learn how Chris was able to overcome setbacks and failure to refocus, allowing him to obtain his goals on a consistent basis, and ultimately conquer all the world major courses on his journey to a sub-3-hour marathon finish. Chris has also founded his own running media outlet, Citius Mag, a source of news and humor from the perspective of runners. If you every thought about running or an experienced runner – you will want to hear this discussion.
