A few hallmark values at Chill Track Friday are: hard work, the pursuit of excellence, enjoying the journey, and using the process of training and racing to learn about the sport, and ourselves. The running career of today’s guest perfectly exemplifies these values.

Enzo Amara is a recreational runner who began his running journey as a result of observing those of others. Ever since, Enzo chooses a race goal, commits to his project completely, learns as much as he can and then applies that newfound knowledge to the next goal. This sounds so easy, but it is not. Enzo has a humble and matter-of-fact approach to his training and racing that will keep him excelling. He is open to learning, to taking risks, and he doesn’t get stymied by unexpected or disappointing results. Enzo does not give up, however his experiences have taught him how to “bend in the wind” in order to get the best out of himself. Enzo is a really interesting person who has a great outlook on life and a self-aware sense of humor from which his running clearly benefits. This is a really enjoyable episode that is inspiring and funny.
