Thursday, 9 April, 2026
In this episode, we break down everything you need to know to run your best Boston Marathon—from race-week preparation to smart execution on race day.With Boston around the corner, we walk through how to approach the course with confidence: how to handle the early downhill miles, when to start respecting the Newton hills, and how to adjust your effort so you don’t leave your race on the first half of the course. We also cover pacing and how to stay mentally locked in from Hopkinton to Boylston.We dig into the details that matter most in the final days before the race: tapering mindset, fueling and carb loading, weather considerations, and how to avoid the most common mistakes runners make in the final 10K. You’ll also hear practical tips on race morning logistics, gear choices, and how to respond when the race inevitably feels harder than planned.Whether it’s your 1st or 20th Boston,, this episode is designed to help you show up prepared, patient, and ready to execute your best race.Join us for our live show at the Expo on Saturday 4/18 at noon and our shakeout run in Boston on Sunday, 4/19 at 8:30 at a new location—338 Newbury Street in front of Trident Booksellers.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook Interested in hiring a coach?
