Jared Ward on Balancing Life As A Father and Pro Runner, Rio 2016 Memories, U.S. Men's Marathoning

Just weeks after adding another baby to his family, Jared Ward finally joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast. Jared is a 2016 Olympian in the marathon, who finished sixth at the Summer Games in Rio. He holds a personal best of 2:11:30. He was the top American at November's New York City Marathon where he ran 2:12:24. On this episode, we spend some time chatting about his balance in life. How he manages to juggle his running career, being a father and husband, while also doing some coaching and teaching at BYU. We also take a stroll down memory lane and hear some cool, behind-the-scenes stories from his first Olympic experience. There's more talk about the "2:10 problem" facing U.S. men's marathoning and how he felt about the American performances at the New York City Marathon. All that and more PLUS your listener questions. ---- The CITIUS MAG Podcast is brought to you by Strava. Personally, I believe Strava is the best app for runners and cyclists to keep track of all their training. It helps keep me accountable as I get ready for the 2019 Tokyo Marathon in March. I've been using Strava Summit, which includes extra features with their training an analysis packs.
