* Having a good day at the 2024 Boston Marathon (2:40)

* Running, his father, and how he came to the sport (4:54)

* Did he chase three hours because it was his father’s goal or his own goal? (13:21)

* Was the feeling of breaking the three-hour barrier what he hoped it would be? (18:17)

* Balancing running, career, and family (23:57)
