Welcome to Chasing Three Hours, a podcast about what runners are chasing, why they keep pushing themselves, and what keeps them curious! On this episode of the podcast, Willis Chen joined Josh to discuss:

  • Finding running as an adult and why it's fit his personality so well (6:27)
  • Chasing three hours entering the picture and why he wanted to go after that goal (18:31)
  • Entering 2023 at a low point with his running (33:06)
  • His first sub-three hour marathon in London (37:46)
  • Getting a PR at the Berlin Marathon before beating it two weeks later in Chicago (1:01:02)
  • After an incredible 2023, were there any post-race blues? (1:09:50)
  • "The sky is the limit" - What's out there? (1:18:30)
  • What he's currently chasing (1:29:35)

And a whole lot more!
