Earlier in September we released a Boston Marathon special about qualifying for this iconic race. In today’s show, we’re giving you our expert tips on how to train for the Boston Marathon or any other marathon you might have planned this spring.
As this episode airs, we’re now about 4 months out from the Boston marathon which is the perfect time to start your training in order to make sure you’re in the best shape possible for race day. Boston is a challenging course with lots of hills. If you managed to qualify, you’ll want to make sure you’re prepared for the specific challenges of this race. And, if you’re running a different race, then these same training strategies will give you the preparation to tackle just about any marathon course with confidence.
In today’s show we’ll be covering training topics including:
