Well, a first time for everything….and winning a 3rd place trophy at the BOSTON Marathon is a NEW and very special thing for me….this inspite of a face-plant at mile 22.5!! #blessed
Unsponsored Scott Fauble, running in a Lululemon singlet he bought himself, finishes as the top American at the 2022 Boston Marathon in 7th in a pb of 2:08:52.
Fastest time by an American man in Boston since Meb Keflezighi ran 2:08:37 to win in 2014.
I think coaching/training is a huge factor in this (not just the spikes). Coaches country-wide have finally bought into threshold training as a central focus. Overkilling it with hard intervals week in and week out is finally dying out.
I often hear about people turning their vacation into “visiting every major league ballpark“. When I retire I want to do this with every Cross-Country Course. This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Choctaw Trails in Clinton Mississippi and was thoroughly impressed.
GREAT day Saturday at the Hickory Flat Invitational hosted by @RunBMCxc Varsity boys placed 4th overall and girls placed 3rd. The Burg also had 2 top finishers: Mary Murphy (5th) and Hudson McRae (11th) #werunthesefields
