CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez

What. A. Day. Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo and Ethiopia's Hawi Feysa unleashed two of the fastest marathons in history in Sunday's Chicago Marathon. Kiplimo's 2:02:23 makes him the seventh-fastest man ever and he did it in only his second career marathon. Feysa's 2:14:56 announced her arrival as one of the five fastest women of all time with a perfectly paced negative split.Behind the fireworks, storylines kept coming: Kenya's Amos Kipruto and Alex Masai rounded out the podium, while Conner Mantz lit up home soil fans with a North American record of 2:04:43. On the women's side, Megertu Alemu and Magdalena Shauri joined Feysa in a flurry of personal bests. It was a good day to run fast.

Our guest today is Faith Kipyegon, the greatest 1500m runner the sport has ever known. In Tokyo, she won her record fourth World Championship 1500m title — seven global golds in this event including her three Olympic golds. It is a reign that now stretches over four years and twenty-two straight victories.In Tokyo, that 1500m final was also a masterclass performance. She led from the gun and never looked back and ran 3:52.15 to win by nearly three seconds, the largest margin of any of her global titles. It was Faith at her purest: precise, patient, untouchable.In this episode, we talk about how Kipyegon continues to perfect the impossible by breaking world records three years in a row and racing not for dominance but for legacy. She's won everything there is to win, yet somehow, it feels like she's still getting better. Faith Kipyegon has redefined what greatness on the track looks like.You can watch the full interview with Faith Kipyegon here.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Faith Kipyegon | @faithkipyegon on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

“Probably 20, hopefully 24 miles, I'm working with people. But then somewhere between the last 10K and the last two miles, it's going to be a race with whoever is around me. You never know how these races play out, but hopefully I'm going to see people in front of me, I'm going to catch them…and place as high as I can. That's how I see this race playing out: I'm in a pack for 18 to 20 or 24 miles and after that I'm hawking down people.”My recurring guest is back – Conner Mantz is back before he takes on one of the longest-standing marks in American distance running: Khalid Khannouchi's 2:05:38 American record in the marathon. It's been 23 years since anyone has touched that time and if there's an American ready to rewrite the standard, it's Mantz.He's already run faster — 2:05:08 this spring in Boston — but because that course isn't record-eligible. Chicago will be his chance to make it official.As we've unpacked on this show all throughout the year, it's been a breakthrough year for him. In January, he took down Ryan Hall's American half marathon record with a 59:17 in Houston. He ran a little faster in another non-record eligible course at the NYC Half in March. In April, he went stride for stride with 2:02 and 2:03 guys in Boston and finished fourth – just shy of the podium.This weekend, he'll line up in Chicago as America's top marathoner and someone who continues to take the next steps to becoming one of the best in the world. He's got quiet confidence and we've grown accustomed to seeing him test his limits in workouts and these races. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to chase a record, how this build compares to others, what's his race plan and how he's sizing up his competitors.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Conner Mantz | @connermantz on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

“The one thing I reminded myself of and something my coach has been telling me all year is this: Don't feel like you have to be anybody else. What you've been doing has been working for you. Continue to do that. If you've been being Melissa all year and you've been winning all year, what else do you need to do? Just go out there and be yourself.”My guest for today's episode is Melissa Jefferson-Wooden — the 25-year-old from Georgetown, South Carolina who just pulled off one of the rarest feats in track and field: the golden sprint triple crown.At the World Championships in Tokyo, Melissa won the 100, the 200, and was part of the Team USA team that took gold in the 4x100m relay — becoming the first American woman ever, and only the second woman in history after Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, to sweep the sprints at a single Worlds.Her winning times — 10.61 in the 100m and 21.68 in the 200m — weren't just dominant; they cemented her as the fourth-fastest woman of all time and within striking distance of Flo-Jo's world record.But what makes Melissa's story so special isn't just the speed. It's also the journey.If you've followed some of her career leading into 2025, she calls herself a self-described ‘village kid' who had two partial college offers. She saved her dad's life at 17 years old with a bone marrow transplant. She built herself from an NCAA champion out of Coastal Carolina to a global superstar, who can boast the title of the fastest woman on earth.In this episode, we talk about that rise, the lessons that come with greatness all throughout 2025 from her races in April through September, and how she's thinking about being one of the faces of the sport.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Melissa Jefferson-Wooden | @__melissaj19 on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

“You almost need to just have this fearlessness towards it. You can absolutely look at what each of the athletes have done and put them up on a pedestal, but you almost have to be like, ‘They've done that, but I'm going to try and do this today.'”My guest for today's episode is Jessica Hull, who just earned her second straight global medal with a bronze in the 1500m at the World Championships in Tokyo. Hull went toe-to-toe with the greatest of all time, Faith Kipyegon, hanging on until the final 200 meters before battling all the way to the line to secure her spot on the podium.Last year was obviously a dream season for Jess — an Olympic silver medal, a 2000m world record, a 3:50 personal best. This year, she didn't always hit the same highs, but she raced with consistency, courage, and adaptability, proving she's a contender in every scenario. In Tokyo, she left it all out there, fending off a charging Nelly Chepchirchir to hang on for bronze in 3:55.16. A repeat of the disastrous tie-up that happened in the Diamond League final was avoided.In this episode, we talk about how she leveled up to get to this point, we talk about the bond shared between all of the 1500m women and the reverence and respect for Faith Kipygeon, her exploration of the 800m which saw her break the Australian record in 1:57.15 in the semifinals and then reaching the final, where she ran another 1:57.Plus, you'll learn where some of her early thoughts are on her plans for 2026.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Jessica Hull | @jessicaahull on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

“A year ago, I just wanted to get on that team. The goals changed as the season went on. Things progressed and then it was like: you're sixth in the world and you're still hungry for more. That's a really encouraging spot to be in.”My guest for today's episode is Josette Andrews, who just finished sixth in the 5000m final at the World Championships in Tokyo, one of the best global finishes by an American woman ever in the event. Josette's run caps off a season that's been nothing short of STRONG.From making her first outdoor U.S. team in Eugene with a gutsy third-place finish, to racing Diamond Leagues in Brussels and Zurich, to standing on the line in Tokyo ready to take on the best in the world, she's tested herself all throughout and come away with impressive results each time.We've had Josette on the show multiple times in the past and it's always felt like she was on the cusp of a breakthrough on the global stage. This year she put it all together. Today we talk about her path in 2025, what clicked so well to lead to the success and the lessons she's taking away for the future.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Josette Andrews | @josettenorris on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

“This is the moment I've been training three years for. There's been three years of a lot of hard work and hard times to get to this. This is the thing in my mind, that dream and goal that's kept me going. Once I put that into perspective, it was a lot easier to ride that wave of momentum into Worlds.”Our guest today is Angelina Napoleon — the 20-year-old NC State steeplechaser who just capped off a super impressive and long outdoor track season.In Tokyo, Angelina made her World Championships debut, ran 9:18 in the heats to advance, and then came back with a 9:17 in the final to finish ninth overall — and as the top American in the women's steeplechase. That finish crowns a year where she lowered her PB from the 9:50s all the way down to 9:10, finished third at NCAAs, and proved she belongs on the global stage.What stands out about Angelina isn't just the times, it's her perspective: she left Tokyo proud, grateful, and already hungry for more. She talked about staying calm in the chaos, adapting to challenges, and soaking up the love from her family and friends as she raced halfway across the world.Now, as she heads back to grass and cross country season, we're hoping this makes you a fan of her going forward.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Angelina Napoleon | @angelinanapoleon on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

“That's where I feel the most free: crossing the line. Running out on the track is one thing, but crossing the line doing what you set out to do with the stadium going crazy — I just want to live in that moment.” My guest for this episode is Olympic 1500m champion and now 5000m World champion Cole Hocker — fresh off one of the most thrilling redemption stories of these World Championships.Days after being disqualified in the 1500m semifinals, Cole still came back and left Tokyo with a gold medal. He went from 12th at the bell to first at the line, closing in a ridiculous 52.6 final lap and 25.5 last 200 to win in 12:58.30. With that kick, he joins Bernard Lagat and Bob Schul as the only American men ever to win a global title at 5000 meters, and he's now on the short list of legends who have captured gold in both the 1500 and the 5000 on the world stage.In this episode, we go through his whole World Championship experience. Cole talked a lot about wanting to end this championship on his own terms — and he did exactly that. Today, we dive into how he kept the faith through setbacks, how he found that gear when it mattered most, and what it means to cement his place among the greats.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Cole Hocker | @colehocker on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

“I wanted to be calm, relaxed, and confident that I belonged here… Maybe I didn't get the outcome that I wanted, but I hit my goal of being calm, trying to stay low emotion, and float, follow, and relax — all of the words that I said to myself. I'm really proud of how I navigated that race.”Please welcome back to the show – the one and only Nikki Hiltz. And what a year it's been! Just a season after finishing seventh at the Paris Olympics, Nikki stepped onto the line at the World Championships in Tokyo and delivered the best outdoor global finish of their career: fifth in the 1500m. They ran 3:57.08, the top American in the final, and held their own in a race where Faith Kipyegon, Dorcus Ewoi, and Jessica Hull all ran sub-3:56 for medals.Yes, it's easy to get caught up in the medal talk that we pushed throughout the championships. That's what we do as pundits to talk about the sport. But for Nikki, it wasn't about the outcome as much as the process: staying calm, engaged, and believing in their plan lap after lap.That mindset carried them to a performance that showed just how close they are to the world's very best. Today, we talk about the lessons learned, the mantras that kept them grounded, and what it means to chase medals while staying true to the journey.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Sage Hurta After Finishing 5th In The World Championships 800m Final In 1:55.89 (Third-Fastest American Ever) | Tokyo 2025 Recap + Reflections____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSASICS: The Megablast is the Mega Man of the Blast lineup.

“This is the moment I've been training three years for. There's been three years of a lot of hard work and hard times to get to this. This is the thing in my mind, that dream and goal that's kept me going. Once I put that into perspective, it was a lot easier to ride that wave of momentum into Worlds.”About two months after we caught up with Sage Hurta-Klecker after making her first U.S. team, she's back on the CITIUS MAG Podcast to recap her experience at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. Sage made it count. After sneaking into the 800m final as the last qualifier, she unleashed a fearless performance, dropping nearly two full seconds off her PB to finish fifth in the final in 1:55.89. This made her the third fastest American of all-time and now sits behind legends like Athing Mu and Ajee Wilson. She's finishing the year with 12 outdoor 800s and 12 sub-two performances. Sage proved that she belongs among the very best in the world and you'll hear in this episode that the 800m is where she's planning to stay for the time being. This was a fun one. We go through all of her experiences from training to the time in between races and how her mindset shifted throughout the rounds. I love doing these recaps and Sage is an open book with all of it, including the training. She's actually asking for more people to take notice of her on Strava, so go ahead and hit her with a follow there. ____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Sage Hurta-Klecker | @hurtasage on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“In years past, I just imagined myself as a hurdler and long jumper who sometimes did the hep. I just didn't like doing the hep. I finally accepted that this is what I do. This is what I can be really good at. It just shifted my mindset. The medal confirmed what I already knew and I see how much room there is to grow.”Taliyah Brooks came up CLUTCH in the second day with three PBs to notch a personal best of 6,581 points to tie for the bronze medal and move to No. 8 on the U.S. all-time list.

At only 26 years old, Camryn Rogers had already created a legacy in the women's hammer throw that few could match. Winning a World title in 2023 and an Olympic title in 2024, she had emerged as the most consistent championship performer in the midst of the best era in the event's history.On Monday, she took the next major leap in her career, becoming the fourth woman to break the 80 meter barrier and the third to win three or more global titles. Her 80.51m second-round effort secured gold in Tokyo, moved Rogers up to No. 2 on the all-time list, and decimated one of the best fields ever assembled by nearly three full meters.After receiving her medal, Rogers sat down with Paul Hof-Mahoney to open up on the emotions of an iconic victory, her experiences with some of the sport's biggest legends, keys to her consistency in an event defined by inconsistency, and so much more.____________Host: Paul Hof-Mahoney | @phofmahoney on InstagramGuest: Camryn Rogers | @rogers_camryn on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

It's not unreasonable to say that no one could've predicted this podium. That's not to say that Isaac Nader, Jake Wightman, and Reynold Cheruiyot aren't all medal-worthy contenders in their own rights, just that the series of circumstances that had to stack on top of one another to make this particular outcome happen was highly improbable.Without Jakob Ingebrigtsen to assume the role of pacemaker, the field hit 400 meters in a relatively pedestrian 59.45, and each successive second that the tempo lagged injected a little extra variability into the last lap. No one saw Kerr's untimely calf injury coming: the Scotsman is remarkably consistent in global finals, with his lowest finish of the decade being sixth in 2022. And heading into the last lap, one measly second separated the top 12 contenders.Nader and Wightman are both known for their footspeed, and the race was set up perfectly for them to take advantage. In particular, Wightman has looked like a rejuvenated runner throughout these championships after missing the last two British teams with injuries and changing coaches in 2024. Nader won the Oslo Dream Mile earlier this season and has finished near the front of a few other Diamond Leagues, but this was still only the second global final of his career and doesn't have the shiny PBs of some of his competitors.But that didn't matter on the homestretch, when Niels Laros looked vulnerable for the first time in months, eventually fading to fifth, and Nader swung into lane three for the first time after riding the rail to power past both Cheruiyots and nip Wightman at the line by 0.02 seconds. Even though this is an event where fans often feel passionately about their favorite athlete, we can all appreciate the fact that, when the dust settled, the crazy ride was fun for everyone.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest: Isaac Nader | @isaacnader on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Clayton Young is carving out a reputation for consistency on the sport's biggest stages and was the top American marathoner at the World Championships in Tokyo.Young fought through chaos — an early false start, a massive pack that stayed bunched past halfway, even a fall at 14 kilometers where he was clipped from behind and hit the pavement. He bounced right back, gave a thumbs up to the cameras, and rejoined the leaders. For nearly 40 kilometers he was right there, stride for stride with the world's best, before the brutal late pace broke the field apart.In the end, Tanzania's Alphonce Simbu took gold in 2:09:48 in a photo finish, but Young battled through to take ninth in 2:10:43 — the same place he earned in Paris last summer.He crossed the line, emptied the tank and showed once again why he's among America's most reliable marathoners in championship racing.He spoke with Chris Chavez LIVE from the ASICS House in Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest: Clayton Young | @_clayton_young_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

A year ago in Paris, Grace Stark made her Olympic debut and finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles. It was a taste of the big stage and a “delayed but not denied” moment, as she put it. In Tokyo, she delivered on that promise.Stark stormed to a bronze at the 2025 World Championships with a time of 12.34 seconds. In one of the deepest fields in championship history — featuring Olympic champion Masai Russell, world record holder Tobi Amusan and reigning champ Danielle Williams — Stark emerged as the only American to reach the podium and just edged out Russell to claim Team USA's lone medal of the night.For Stark, the medal is proof of resilience. After a devastating injury at Florida nearly ended her career, she fought her way back to be among the world's best. Now, she's a global medalist and her story may just be beginning.She joined Chris Chavez and Anderson Emerole at the CITIUS MAG HQ to talk about it all.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on InstagramGuest: Grace Stark | @grace_stark on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

For 80 meters, Kishane Thompson looked like the man to beat. Exploding out of the blocks in the men's 100-meter final at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, the Jamaican sprint sensation surged into the lead, his long, fluid strides daring the field to catch him.But just as in Paris a year ago, the closing meters would tell the story. This time it wasn't Noah Lyles, but his countryman Oblique Seville who reeled him in. Thompson crossed the line in 9.82 seconds, securing the silver medal behind Seville's blistering 9.77 – the fastest global final since 2019.For Thompson, it was validation: back-to-back podium finishes at the sport's biggest stages, and proof that Jamaica has not just one, but two world-class sprinters carrying the legacy of Bolt and Blake into a new era.His silver, paired with Seville's gold, delivered Jamaica's first men's 100m 1–2 at a global championship since the London Olympics.He spoke to Anderson Emerole about the 100m final at the World Championships.____________Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest: Kishane Thompson | @ iamkishane_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Sometimes the most coolest moments in sport arrive by accident. When Julia Paternain crossed the finish line of the Tokyo World Championships marathon, she wasn't thinking about history and she wasn't even sure the race was over. Yet in that instant of disbelief, she had just given Uruguay its first-ever World Championships medal.In just her second marathon, the 25-year-old stunned the world with a fearless run, climbing from 15th place at halfway to finish third in 2:27:23 behind legends Tokyo Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and former world record holder Tigist Assefa of Ethiopia. For a runner once who was among the last ones qualified for the championships, the bronze was unthinkable — and unforgettable.Born in Mexico, raised in England, tested in the NCAA system in the U.S., and now calling Flagstaff home, Paternain carries a layered identity but an unwavering pride of all those places. And with her medal, a nation of three million found itself on the global podium for the very first time.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Guest: Julia Paternain | @juliapaternain_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

The World Athletics Championships marathon in Tokyo was always going to be a test of patience, heat management, and guts and two American women rose to the occasion.For over an hour, Susanna Sullivan was the story of the race. A sixth-grade math teacher from Virginia, she surged to the front by 5K, running alone through the streets of Tokyo with nothing but the sticky, humid air and a clock for company. By halfway, she had built a 63-second lead on the pack of global stars behind her. And when they finally came for her, Sullivan didn't panic. She held her rhythm, managed the late miles and battled all the way to the line for fourth place in 2:28:17 — just seconds away from becoming the third American woman ever to medal in a World Championship marathon.Alongside her, Jess McClain was running her own masterclass in composure. McClain tucked in behind Sullivan early, endured the surging heat, and stayed locked in when the race splintered. Running smart and steady, McClain delivered the best global performance of her career, finishing eighth in 2:29:20. In a field stacked with some of the fastest women of all-time, McClain proved she belongs.Peres Jepchirchir and Tigist Assefa settled gold and silver with a final-lap sprint inside Japan National Stadium. Uruguay's Julia Paternain stunned the world with a historic bronze. But it was Sullivan and McClain who gave Team USA its heartbeat. Two working professionals, two fearless racers.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠Guest: Susanna Sullivan & Jess McClain | @susannasullivan4 on Instagram & @jesstonn on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

Valarie Allman has known the joy of Olympic gold. Twice. She's stood atop the podium in Tokyo and Paris. She's held world leads and set marks that haven't been seen since the 1980s. But until now, one medal had eluded her.In Tokyo once again, which was the site of her first Olympic triumph, Allman finally became a world champion. With a 69.48-meter toss, she claimed her first global title, winning by the largest margin in 18 years. It was a performance that broke open the event, stamped her dominance with a 29-meet win streak, and made her the first American woman ever to pair Olympic and World outdoor gold in a throwing event.After world bronze in 2022 and silver in 2023, this was about closure — about finishing the climb and silencing any doubts. In this conversation LIVE from the ASICS House in Tokyo, she calls it a dream come true.The moment itself was pure Valarie: lying down in the ring after the competition, arms and legs carving a victory angel into the infield grass. A mixture of joy, relief, and the playfulness that has made her one of the most beloved figures in U.S. track and field.Now, with two Olympic titles, a world crown, and the year's farthest throw on her résumé, Allman has fully written her name into history — not just as the face of U.S. throwing, but as one of the greatest to ever pick up the discus.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ + Paul Hof-Mahoney | ⁠⁠@phofmahoney on Instagram⁠Guest: Val Allman | @valallman123 on Instagram____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

“It goes without saying that we want to go for at least a medal and maybe even the gold medal [at the World Championships]. We don't really speak about that; it's just about being at my best level in the final. I would call that our goal. Whatever result is connected to that depends on so many factors and that's why we don't really speak about, ‘We want to be first there,' but more about the whole process.”Every so often, a young runner bursts onto the scene not just with talent, but with a presence that makes you believe you're watching the next big star take shape in real time. Niels Laros is that runner right now. At just 20 years old, the Dutch phenom has gone from a precocious prospect to Diamond League champion and now even being the name on everyone's lips as the favorite for the World Championships in the 1500m in Tokyo.He's rattling off consistent victories this summer, he put together a historic 800m and 5000m double at the European U23 Championships, he had an epic Bowerman mile victory over Yared Nuguse that we haven't forgotten, and most recently, a Diamond League title in Zurich where he unleashed yet another sizzling final 100m in 12.5 seconds to clock a 3:29.20 – a Dutch national record and personal best.Again and again, Laros has shown the defining quality of today's 1500m champions: the ability to close off a fast pace. His final 100m stacks up against anything that we've seen from Josh Kerr or Cole Hocker that they've produced in their gold medal runs.But Laros's story isn't just about times and trophies; it's about timing and arriving in peak form as the global landscape in the 1500m shifts. With Jakob Ingebrigtsen sidelined by injury and his rivals Cole Hocker and Josh Kerr searching for their best in 2025, Laros has positioned himself right now as the man to beat. We talk about his rise, the confidence that comes with winning big races, and what it means to carry the weight of expectations heading into Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Niels Laros | @niels.laros on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…- Paris Olympics men's 1500m final- Zurich Diamond League men's 1500m- Brussels Diamond League men's 1500m- Prefontaine Classic Bowerman Mile____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNEW BALANCE: The FuelCell Rebel v5 was built to feel fast—and look the part.

Chris Chavez and Mac Fleet break down the biggest winners and losers from the Diamond League final in Zurich. Some of the top highlights from the meet include…- Brittany Brown makes the most of her second shot at the World team by winning the 200m final in a season's best 22.13.- Niels Laros solidifies his spot as the top dog in the 1500m with an undeniable victory over world leader Azeddine Habz, world junior record holder Phanuel Koech, and 2019 World champion Timothy Cheriyot, running 3:29.20 to also claim the Dutch national record by 0.03 seconds.- Audrey Werro thrills the home crowd in Switzerland with a huge win and national record in the 800m, as she and Georgia Hunter Bell both dip under 1:56 for the first time in their careers, with Werro holding onto the edge with 1:55.91 to 1:55.96.- Olympic champ Emmanuel Wanyonyi had to go to the well to stay ahead of Max Burgin on the homestretch of the 800m, but in the end he had just enough in the tank to take the win in 1:42.37 to Burgin's 1:42.42.- World champ Noah Lyles and Olympic champ Letsile Tebogo battle for every step of the 200m, with Lyles just beating his rival by inches in the end, 19.74 to 19.76.- Olympic 100m champ Julien Alfred doesn't look like she's missed a step after withdrawing from two Diamond Leagues earlier this month with a hamstring issue, holding off a strong challenge from Tia Clayton to take the title in 10.76.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠ + Mac Fleet | @macfleet on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: ⁠Zurich Diamond League Final Interviews⁠Listen: ⁠Nikki Hiltz On Their Career-Defining Season To Repeat As National Champion, Winning A Diamond League, And Heading To The World Championships As A Medal Threat⁠Listen: ⁠Record-Breaking 16-Year-Old Cooper Lutkenhaus On His Decision To Turn Professional & Sign With Nike⁠Listen: ⁠Kenneth Rooks On His “Rollercoaster” 2025 Season And His Hopes For The World Championships In Tokyo⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“It's holding onto the fact that truly anything can happen. That's why I'm a fan of the sport. I love watching upsets happen. I love watching dragons get slayed and things like that. It's exciting! I think no matter what, I'm just going in to try to run a 1500 that I'm proud of and let the outcome be the outcome. That's not the focus; the focus is just doing the thing I love.”Three straight U.S. outdoor titles, a Diamond League victory, and a season that has firmly established Nikki Hiltz as America's standard-bearer in the 1500m.Earlier this month at Hayward Field, they did exactly what we've come to expect: poised in the pack, patient when the laps slowed, and then — with 100 meters to go — devastating to the competition. A 58-second last lap sealed a third consecutive national title and another ticket to the global stage.If we go beyond the results on the track, this year brought about quite a bit of change. Nikki underwent contract talks to start the year and stuck with Lululemon. They switched up their coaching setup and started working with Juli Benson. All of this while privately recovering from top surgery, which they revealed just recently. Many of these things would seed doubt in an athlete, but Nikki has not skipped a beat.Most recently, the Brussels Diamond League proved that — another perfectly timed kick down the final straight to reel in Australia's Linden Hall and score their first-ever Diamond League win in 3:55.94, making history as the first American in seven years to win a 1500m on that stage.Now, Hiltz heads to Tokyo as more than a national champion. I firmly believe they're a medal contender. Consistent, battle-tested, and dangerous when the race is decided late.We talk about the evolution behind this season, the mental battles of change and competition, and how Hiltz has grown into thinking about themselves as not just one of America's best, but one of the world's.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Nikki Hiltz | @nikkihiltz on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Listen: Nikki Hiltz's 2025 USA Track & Field Outdoor National Championships 1500m Recap - Ali on the Run Show____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 16-year-old high school star who shattered his own U.S. 800m high school record and broke the 800m U18 world record with a 1:42.27 runner-up finish at last month's U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships, has opted to forego all of his remaining high school and collegiate eligibility to turn professional and sign a contract with Nike. The decision comes before he is set to race the 800m at the World Championships in Tokyo next month and makes history as the youngest American ever to represent the U.S. at a World Championship.“I'm just super excited and blessed for the opportunity,” Lutkenhaus tells CITIUS MAG. “To be able to run professionally at such a young age is not very common, so to be represented by the best brand is very exciting.”Lutkenhaus will remain enrolled at Northwest High School in Texas, where he's beginning his junior year.

"Going into Tokyo, as long as I get back to those basic things that helped me be successful in the past, I'm going to be just fine. I can focus on the process, get back to running my race, focus on what I need to do each lap in different circumstances and scenarios, have fun, and not put too much pressure on myself." My guest for today's episode is Olympic silver medalist Kenneth Rooks. However, he hasn't quite looked like that this entire season. It left many wondering if last year's Olympic silver medalists had slipped from his form. But back at Hayward Field just a couple weeks ago in his element, Rooks gave the answer. He was calm through the opening kilometers of the U.S. Championship final, unhurried as the laps ticked by. He moved up lap after lap until he was finally leading – and he never gave that lead back.A 59-second last lap sealed his third straight U.S. Championship title in 8:26.56, fending off his training partner Dan Michalski and veteran Bernard Keter. Rooks officially punched his ticket to Worlds and then a couple weeks later helped Michalski get the standard to secure his own berth to the World Championships in Tokyo.It was a vintage Kenneth Rooks race: patient, poised, and relentless when it mattered most. Now the BYU alum returns to the global stage in Tokyo with the big question hanging in the air: can he summon that magic again?We talk about bouncing back from some disappointing performances, how the results make a bit more sense when you look at the bigger picture, managing the weight of expectations, and how he's looking to summon that same grit again in Tokyo.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Kenneth Rooks | @kenneth_rooks on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Watch: 2025 U.S. Championships Men's 3000m steeplechase final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

“The overarching message that I think Sean has with this book is that whatever ‘it' is, go for it. If this is your thing and you give it all you've got and don't limit yourself to what's been done and what's been possible, the sky's the limit on what you can do.” Today's guest is someone whose work has shaped how we understand running at its most human level through writing about running. Chris Lear is the author of Running with the Buffalos, a book that for many is the gold standard of distance running storytelling.Two decades ago, Chris embedded himself with the University of Colorado's cross country team during one of its most dramatic seasons, and what turned out was a story of triumph, tragedy, and relentless pursuit that became a cult classic for runners everywhere. Now Chris is back with one of the most anticipated running books: Beyond Fast - the story of coach Sean Brosnan. It's written with Sean Brosnan and NBC News' Andrew Greif.Brosnan's journey is an unlikely one from BMX tracks on Long Island to the world of collegiate running and eventually to Newbury Park High School, where he transformed a struggling program into a dynasty. During his six years there, Brosnan didn't just build champions; he built what many believe was the greatest high school cross country team of all time.His impact went beyond workouts and race results; he created a culture that challenged young athletes to push past their limits and reimagine what was possible. In this conversation, we talk with Chris about the stories behind Beyond Fast and how a coach with a renegade spirit changed the sport of high school distance running.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Chris LearProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Mentioned in this episode…Pre-order: Beyond Fast: How a Renegade Coach and His Unlikely High School Team Revolutionized Distance RunningOrder: Running with the Buffaloes: A Season Inside With Mark Wetmore, Adam Goucher, And The University Of Colorado Men's Cross Country Team____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.
