Javi Sanchez hadn't consistently run for more than a decade when he started in 2023 to lose some weight and get active. A year later, the Oxford resident and Ole Miss fan completed the Houston Marathon in under three hours and is chasing a qualifying time entry into the 2025 Boston Marathon.

We talk about his journey, how the NCAA ended his chance to compete for Ole Miss and how this isn't about running as much as looking for goals, even if instant gratification isn't part of it.
