TFTV ft. Chris Stone

Sam and Katie are joined by Chris Stone, who shares his running journey—from early runs with his dad, to a long hiatus through university, and then a spark moment after lining up at City2Surf that reignited his love (and natural knack) for running.

Since returning to the sport, Chris has clocked some impressive road PBs:

  • 5km: 19:32
  • 10km: 39:56
  • Half Marathon: 1:29
  • Marathon: 3:21 at the Sydney Marathon

    • More recently, Chris has found his passion on the trails, completing UTA100 in 15 hours and 31 minutes.

    Chris’ favourite place to run is the Wollongong Escarpment, he loves a strong mountain-culture status quo, and his go-to sessions are tempo and threshold workouts.
