About this episode
Whether you dream of running Boston—or (definitely!) not—you’ll be intrigued by this episode. The guests are three “regular” runners who have to recalculate their quests to qualify for the Boston Marathon because the qualifying times just got made five minutes faster for every age group under 60. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin (both multi-time Boston Marathon veterans), the guests discuss:
-whether they’ll continue their BQ pursuits;
-their strategies to shave additional time off their marathons;
-why one guest is pleased BQ standards were tightened;
-the thrill of chasing big goals; and,
-why one of them just wants to be able to say she BQ’d!
Before the first guest jumps on at about 13:37, Sarah tells of an audiobook that made a recent 12-mile run fly by. Please subscribe to the 3x/week Another Mother Runner newsletter.
