#012 - Avalos Siblings
Introduction
We’re excited to welcome the Avalos siblings to the podcast.  Ray, Anthony, and Bre are some of the fastest and most accomplished runners you will find.  Ray and Anthony have marathon times in the 2:40s and Bre has a marathon PR of 3:01.

For these siblings, long distance running was something that they found after becoming adults, but it was their athletic background, hard work, and determination that allowed them to really excel at the sport.

The three siblings not only qualified for Boston, but they were able to run Boston together - and they share stories from the event as well as all the training leading up to qualifying and competing against each other.  If you’re looking to decrease your marathon times, and possibly qualify for Boston - stick around to the end of the conversation.  All three siblings give great tips for runners from beginners to advanced.  We had so much fun, so I really hope that you enjoy the conversation.
