190. How to qualify for the Boston Marathon BQ

In this
episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we tackle the ultimate question that
looms for many runners in their careers: How can I qualify for the Boston
Marathon? Coach Chris Knighton joins us as we dissect this topic, exploring
aspects like the importance of accountability through publicly committing to
your goal and the patience required, especially when considering the charity
option. We emphasize the notion of getting out what you put in, touching on the
significance of choosing the right race based on weather and terrain
considerations. Additionally, we discuss the value of having a coach to provide
a different perspective and analyze your performance. We raise questions about
goal pace running, fast finish runs, speed work, increasing volume, recovery,
sleep, nutrition, strength training, and the importance of not setting
limitations in the pursuit of marathon goals.
