Boston Marathon Race Recap, Part 1: Marathon buildups can’t always be perfect, but sometimes they are. You can do everything right. You can nail all the workouts. You can do all the correct exercises. You can get all the massages and treatment. You can utilize the data. You can flawlessly fuel. You can have all the confidence. You can feel the most prepared you have ever felt. And on the day, the race can still not go the way you hoped. (The marathon is truly a cruel mistress) There isn’t anything I would have changed about my Boston Marathon build. It was a near perfect experience on paper, and more importantly on my heart. With each day, I gained a greater appreciation for what I could accomplish. I entered Boston Marathon weekend feeling on top of the world. Why wouldn’t I? I was happy, healthy, and eager for what Monday might bring. 📸: longrunlactic #bostonmarathon bostonmarathon #bostonmarathon2025 #marathon #marathonrunning
