  • Hard to listen to

    Was once an ok show, but with each passing episode, it becomes harder to listen to without feeling in some way lectured to about something political or extremely liberal. Very unenjoyable now and won’t be coming back. Runners, there are other podcasts out there.

  • Chris Chavez practices what he preaches!

    I’ve been a listener for a while now, enjoy nerding out while I hear Chris and Preet break down race performances and speculate on future ones. Love the data driven estimates but also the intuition of the hosts. Imagine my surprise while I was doing my long run on the Central Park loop and I look up and see Chris running towards me looking while his voice was in my ear!

  • Great Athletics podcast

    I really appreciate the Citius Mag podcast and being a European based fan also the fact that you include an international view on the sport

    The podcast is off cause basically US focused, but I really enjoy the weekly summary show where you are focusing on the international picture of our sport. I really enjoy the inclusion of Preet Majithia, who ensure the European angle. I understand Preet is a relative newcomer to the sport, and as such I find his analysis (also of the more technical aspects, ... more

  • Want to be a fan

    I used to love this podcast… And really want to again! But the amount of times Chris says “I guess” to prompt a question has made it so hard to listen. At least 50x a pod. You’re great Chris. And you know a lot. Don’t need to guess!

Amanda Vestri On Running 2:25 “Undercooked” In Her Debut, Working With David Roche, And What She’s Capable Of When Healthy At The 2026 Boston Marathon
Q: So how much do you trust the coaching with David Roche and how has training changed from New York to the current Boston build?

Amanda Vestri On Running 2:25 “Undercooked” In Her Debut, Working With David Roche, And What She’s Capable Of When Healthy At The 2026 Boston Marathon
Q: All right, well now welcome back, Amanda Vestri to The CITIUS MAG Podcast. And I guess this is the first time I get to introduce you as marathoner because you knocked that out of the park last November at the New York City Marathon. So how did it feel to finally add that title to your resume?
It felt really cool and earned; I was nervous because it was the first marathon build and I just wanted to finish and prove I belonged at the distance, despite dealing with injuries. Crossing the line showed me I could compete at this level.
