In this conversation, Matt and Patrick Reaves explore Patrick's layered running career, including his experiences at the Boston Marathon, his peak moments qualifying for the Olympic Trials, and the training philosophies that have shaped his journey. He discusses the mental challenges of being sidelined after the Trials, returning to the 2025 Boston Marathon and finishing 8th in the 40-44 age division, the adjustments he made to his training and goals, and how he found new competitive outlets in masters running.

Patrick also reflects on the importance of embracing change in his running life, especially as he prepares for fatherhood and the impact it will have on his athletic pursuits.
