On the final regular episode of Chasing Three Hours, Josh’s dad Tim Peterson joined the pod to discuss the 2025 Boston Marathon, including:

* Did Josh believe he’d be at the 2025 Boston Marathon when he first put out a goal of chasing three hours? (4:31)

* Josh’s training going sideways so early on in his training block (8:42)

* How much of the mental side of training is tied to good results? (15:34)

* Getting to the starting corral and what Josh was saying to himself as the race got closer (29:49)

* The early miles of the race (38:32)

* How did he feel at the halfway mark? (50:21)

* The emotions of seeing family on the course (58:05)

* What did Josh learn about himself? (1:11:41)

They finish the pod (1:17:05) by discussing why running makes Josh a better person, what his favorite part about running is, and what he’s currently chasing.
