  • Grateful for the pod!

    Citius Mag truly makes it easy to follow and love track and road running! I became a big track fan after the Paris Olympics and listening to the pod on my runs kept my interest in the sport beyond the Olympic year. I LOVED all the up-to-date, freshy fresh episodes during the World Champs to process my post-race thoughts and emotions for this still relatively niche sport (which you guys are about to change!) . I can't imagine the work and exhaustion that go behind making these episodes & athlete... more

  • Track And Field Media Empire

    Chris is a visionary and his team provides refreshingly progressive hot takes with humor and depth on everything track and field. It used to be hard to find enough track and field news, now, with CITIUS Mag – it's hard to keep up. From throws to sprints, jumps to distance, everyone is included in the play-by-play and listeners like me leave feeling part of something much bigger. So much gratitude to CITIUS Mag!

  • Incredible podcast across the genres

    I waited a bit to rate and review because I wanted to do Citius justice. It truly brings the casual running enthusiast into the fold and gives listeners the tools and needed to become true track and field fans. Before Citius, I never watched or followed any sports but loved to run. With the insights and narratives Citius highlights, I now spend most of my time finding ways to watch diamond leagues and forget about reaching me during world champs and the Olympics. From sprints to distance to roa... more

Their timely, professional analysis is rivaled only by their genuine joy and happiness being trackside. It really shows through that you love track and field. Thanks for sharing that with us fans.
