⭐⭐ The Chicago Marathon Is Almost Here! | TRJ 136 w/ Colin Lafreniere

We're a little under three weeks out from the Chicago Marathon and joined by our good friend Colin Lafreniere!

Along with a crew of 8 guys heading down to Chicago, we dive into training updates, race strategy, and the excitement of taking on one of the world's biggest marathons.

From hockey roots to Boston Qualifier attempts, injury battles, and future races, Colin shares his running journey and what keeps him coming back to the sport.

Plus, we break down Chicago Marathon strategy, sub-3 hour goals, and training plans leading into race day.
