@TheRealMerb Kyle, thanks for sharing. I’ve always been a high mileage marathon runner. Had a 3-month layoff in the last part of 2024 due to stress fracture. Told myself that I’m not going to get back to doing 100mile weeks leading into Boston. So by sharing this gets me excited.

@RealIronMike Those in the military or who previously served know this very well! Leave it cleaner or better than found it.

@jgault13 It’s looking like I’ll have to likely wait another decade to get into London and Tokyo to complete the 6 Stars! @WMMajors

@Predamame @nyj_ryan Your qualifying time is exactly what I ran in Boston 2022 😆. For this year, I’m Bib 397 with a qual time of 10 seconds faster.

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

@ChrisChavez Congrats! There were so many CPTC runners out there. Was nice to run with some of them.

Does anyone know where to find the overall and age group placing for today’s @nycmarathon? Website and app only shows leaderboard and runner tracking

@JasonFitz1 @theAMshakeout Enjoyed listening to this episode during my easy run this morning.

Sleep is crucial and a key element of recovery, especially during marathon training. Unfortunately, I haven’t been getting much of it lately because I can’t put @karagoucher The Longest Race down at night. 😆 Next I’ll be blaming @des_linden when I start reading Choosing To Run.

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

@c_e_pennington Yes!!! The older you are the faster you get! #fasterasamaster

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

Preordered and arrived today! Looking forward to reading this as I close in on race day! @des_linden #bostonmarathon

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

@Kris_Law I say forget about the taper. 😆 Have fun with the training. It’s the best part of the marathon journey.

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

Just arrived in the mail and adding to my collection. Which one do I start with? @BStulberg @stevemagness @karagoucher

@MountainRoche I find my Garmin 945 to be fairly accurate. But the funny thing is that it works best on my right wrist vs the left. Wearing it on my right wrist gives me a 10-20 bpm higher. Lol

Running Boston in less than 10 weeks, then Chicago Marathon/AWMM Age Group World Championship in October, and now I signed up for NYC Marathon (pending) yesterday. 🤦🏽 😆 #bostonmarathon #chicagomarathon @WMMajors #nycmarathon

@CitiusMag @ollie_hoare97 @JoeKlecker @mariogarciaromo @djritzenhein What an awesome workout and coaching clip!

@JasonFitz1 Hit my first 100+ mile week last week. Will probably stay in the 90-105 mile/wk range. 2-3 quality sessions that includes a long run, tempo/threshold run, and short pickups. Bottom line, sticking to what has worked for me in my previous Bostons.

[Wayne Blas @guamrunner]

@TheRealMerb Wow! Did you stop at the halfway mark to change into your racing shoes too? 😆 congrats!

Decided to subscribe to @espn to watch the #NCAAXC. Only problem is that I forgot to switch from annual to monthly subscription before I clicked subscribe. 🤷🏽‍♂️
