Marathon all day long. I’m guessing that many more people have gone sub-5
What do you think is more impressive? A sub-5 mile? Or a sub-3 marathon?

What’s the 2nd biggest hill on The Course? Mile 16, Grossman’s Hill. A huge plunge down from Wellesley Hills to the Charles River. After you cross the Charles the first of the 4 Newton Hills, Hospital Hill.
Replying to @bostonmarathon
Running through Hopkinton, Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, and Brookline you’ll hear cheers from thousands of spectators... ride that energy all the way to the FINISH in Boston!🏁 #Boston129 #BostonMarathon #MeetTheMoment (2/2)

I’ve said for a long time there is a big difference between running a Marathon and racing a Marathon. Both are fantastic But they are different
If you want to complete a marathon, then you don’t need to worry about training so many hours. If you want to race a marathon, putting in lots of aerobic hours over many months is a non negotiable. Align your training with expectations. That will give you a good experience.

I like a 8 week “Marathon prep” before starting the training block. Run 30 to 40 easy stress free MPW while gradually increasing the long run to ~70% of your longest marathon training run. Key on stress free miles.
Inconvenient Marathon Reality: Marathon training requires a certain level of readiness. I like to see 30+ mpw and a 12+ mile long run (*comfortably*) about 16 weeks out from the race. Without this foundation, injury risk is significant, the result will be subpar, and your experience will probably not be much fun.

Don’t be so sure. Remember 2018? 40° with heavy rain and Hail. Not far from snow. 😳
After some fast racing at BU, Calli Thackery-Hauger and husband Nick are on the @bostonmarathon course prepping for April’s race…we promise no snow on Patriots’ Day❄️

Did you think it was too cold or wet to run today? It was 38º when I ran today. In the 2018 @bostonmarathon there was rain and hail throughout the day, heavy at times, 41º and gusty winds. Train in it - Run in it. #bostonmarathon @HeartbreakRunCo

A healthcare CEO is killed by a handgun and it is the top of the news for days. Yesterday a student and a teacher were killed and 6 other students were seriously injured by a handgun and it’s not on the front page of the @BostonGlobe What has become of us? #TooManyGuns

Some change. In 2010 in Boston I had to wear a chip on my shoe. Still have the darn thing on my desk. :>)
Ever realize that chip timing hasn't evolved in a generation? It's the same bulky suitcase, same raised mat, typically seen every 5k in a road race. That's all about to change! 🧵

"Everyone is so diffrent, I haven't changed."
What do you think is the greatest lyric in music?

I knew there was a reason I only drink red wine: People who drink beer as their only alcoholic beverage have worse diets, exercise less, and are more likely to smoke cigarettes than people who drink wine, according to a new study published in the journal Nutrients.

Perhaps you should ask Trump, your partner in criminal activity, for a little help.

Good point. @hubermanlab, I'm curious if you've considered releasing an episode on the dangers of having someone like RFK Jr. in charge of America's federal health agencies? Perhaps your listeners who are interested in science might benefit from that.
I can't wait until the 'science' based health podcasters make a statement about how having people in charge of our health services who believe vaccines cause autism, among many other things, would be horrible for our nation's future. Can't wait for the episode and statements.

I’m here in Ohio and if yard signs are any indication there are 10 #Harris signs for each #trump sign. But then I’m sure @realDonaldTrump people are embarrassed to admit that they support a man who lead an insurrection and so is a traitor to the United States.

I look at the times for celebrities who run the #NewYorkMarathon and find joy in the fact that I’ve run (much) faster than they have. I know, I’m a terrible person. #runnersproblems

I could go into numerous policy arguments as to why Kamala Harris is a better choice for president than Donald Trump. But that is all secondary to this. If you are aware of the above and still vote for Trump, I honestly just live in a different moral universe than you.

Here is Trump threatening violence, in very specific terms, against a political opponent. This happened just YESTERDAY: teapawt.net/atrupar/status/1852209…
Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
