Description

Is running the Boston Marathon a dream of yours? As most runners know, you need to run a Boston Marathon Qualifying time (BQ) if you want to run Boston (outside of doing a charity bib). BQ times are challenging for most runners - so we are sharing what we have found works in real-life coaching practice. Before all that, we answer a listener’s question on beetroot supplements for running. 
Discussion points include:

Intrinsic vs extrinsic factors that influence one’s ability to run a BQ
How to choose a marathon for a BQ attempt
How racing 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons can help you run a faster marathon
How to dial in your nutrition for a BQ marathon
How to train for a BQ marathon
The role of when training for a BQ marathon
