Part 1 of our conversation with running coach and Active Odysseys founder Chris Montgomery!

Chris shares advice for "master" runners (because apparently "over 40" needed a rebrand), talks about training smarter, and explains how Active Odysseys helps runners chase marathon finish lines around the world while making lifelong friends.
