About Arash Taheri
Runner since 9-years-old. I not only run marathons but I implement travel and networking into my passion. I went from a 3:16 to 2:56 in 19 months. My goal is to complete a marathon in every state and many all over the world. With the Boston Marathon off of my World Major list, I plan to run the remaining World Majors over the next few years. I'm currently training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. As for my educational goal, I plan to travel to high altitude camps domestically and internationally to understand the effects of training and tapering to transition into a PhD program.
