Title: Advice for qualifying for Boston Post by: cindy stage on March 03, 2014, 10:36:54 am I need advice for getting faster marathon times. I am trying to qualify for Boston. I missed the cut by 6 seconds in 2012 (for 2013). I always seem to run out of steam the last few miles. I tried again in Alabama Dec. of 2013, but I slipped on a road reflector and sprained ankle. I finished with a 4:08. A very good time considering the damage I did to my ankle. My qualifying time is 3:55, but I want to train for a 3:45 to make sure I get in. I am consulting the Hanson Marathon Book and plan on following the plan. Has anyone had any luck with that plan?

Two folks on the blog right now are using it (at least that I personally know). I would advocate some runs longer than were they stop to help with the fade at the tail end of your previous efforts.
Good luck. |
