As I carry on with the introduction of members for the 2020 US Olympic Trials Marathon Project I have been really encouraged with this community of runners that are part of the project. These runners are working hard towards qualifying for the 2020 US Olympic Trials Marathon and are doing so while balancing full-time jobs and all that life is throwing them.
If you are interested in all at helping these young runners get to the starting line of the 2020 US Olympic Trials Marathon on February 29th, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia please email me at thedailyrun@gmail.com. Help can come in many forms and all is appreciated!
Today I have the pleasure to introduce Chad Maloy. Chad ran and graduated from Canisius College in Buffalo, New York and has the pedigree to not only qualify for the 2020 US Olympic Trials Marathon, but to be a top-20 finisher as long as we get to that starting line healthy!

There’s nothing like a couple of slices of pizza after a race.

Not really many superstitions, but I do have to eat oatmeal before every race.
