fathers—and how those roots fuel their current Olympic and marathon
aspirations.
- The CTFL Blueprint: Why a team-centric format is the "secret
sauce" for keeping the competitive fire alive after graduation.
- The Mental Grind: A candid look at the resilience needed to
bounce back from long-term injuries and the importance of a solid
