In this episode we talk to LA Roadrunner head coach David Levine about tips on how to qualify for a Boston Marathon.
But don’t think his tips are basic, if you have already qualified for Boston, there is a lot you can learn as David gets into the physiology and helps us understand how you can still get better. David elaborates on 1. Goalsetting, 2. Commitment, 3. Running slower to become faster, 4. Picking a course, 5. Nutrition, 6. Cross training, 7. Training plans and coaching, and 8. Pacing during the race.
As promised, here are the links to the Boston Qualifying Times (as of 2021) and David’s previous episode on group training:
