Boston Marathon Training: 10 Weeks Till Race Day

This week was hard AF! Not going to glamorize the workouts one bit but I’m proud I stuck it out. Living on a 250ft hill makes me grateful for the opportunity to grow and push my limits which ONLY make me stronger in the end.

Glimpses of my potential, a launch party, and proper fueling had me at “This Is 11 Weeks till the 2020 Boston Marathon.” After a few days of post race heavy legs, I was excited to tackle Week 6 of Boston Marathon training. This week Coach Ben of Run4PRs had me focusing on downhill strength and weight training.
