In this episode, the Army veteran and Dallas-based runner shares his full journey: a near-miss BQ at Big Sur (2:57 when he needed 2:55), finding the Nebraska State Marathon as his secret weapon, peaking at 100 miles per week with Addison Circle Running Club, and why he's running Boston with no music — just pure vibes, the Wellesley Scream Tunnel, and a turn down Boylston Street.
