ETHAN CHUNG

Senior Writer & Editor

Ethan would rather run a hundred hills than embark on any sort of long run. Distance may not be his jam, but he does enjoy speed workouts to keep his footwork right for competitive tennis. When he's not telling stories about the running community or the latest Brooks gear on the Run Happy Blog, Ethan spends his time finding adventure with his family and experimenting in the kitchen.
