See more fromThe CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez | A Running + Track and Field Show"I want to point out that while Iām relaying the advice to be patient like Iāve been given from Meb, Ritz, Ryan Hall, Deena and Des to be patient. Itās still hard to be patient. You want to see the good tune-up races and the good workouts because...I donāt want to go to New York and be in the pack at 15 miles and when thereās a strong move, I run smart and I pick off a few guys over the last few miles of the race and I finish fifth to 10th. Iāve done that. I know how to do that. I want to be fit enough that I can cover a 4:40 mile going up First Avenue and I can be in that pack and I can sit in that race. Thatās what motivates me."
I believe this is the third time Jared Ward has come on the show. His first time was in Feb. 2019 and then he was on last fall before he ran in the London Marathon. Now heās back as he gets ready for the New York City Marathon and also runs in the Saucony Future Fast 10K in Germany that you can watch next Wednesday at 2 pm ET on the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel.
Jared has raced sparingly since he ran at The Marathon Project last December so we get the details on that, how heās worked his way back into shape after taking time off to help his wife with their newest baby and his big goals ā which include the podium in The Big Apple. I appreciated this episode because Jared and I talk about what that comeback has felt like for many people during this pandemic. I just recently posted to Instagram how initially I was planning to go to the Chicago Marathon and try and break three hours but Iām just not quite there yet. Iām still shaking off the pandemic rust. So if youāre one of those people who has been hoping to get back on the string of hitting PRs and sometimes training is going right but the results arenāt coming immediately, Iām right with you and Jaredās got some good advice.
