MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks – http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/
Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-391.
This is going to be a long one. If this is your first time downloading please accept our humble apologies. This is Chris your friend and host and newly minted 100-mile ultra-runner. There’s a lot of context for all this, trust me, but you’re going to have to bear with me as I, (somewhat fittingly I might add), drop you into the culmination of this adventure.
This will be a 3 act play. We will start with some exposition in the form of my last two weeks of taper and a brief recorded chat with my coach going into the race.
Act one will commence and the play itself will roll out across an ultra-long race report. You might want to take this one in chunks or save it for your own multi-hour long run.
On with the show!

I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported. What does that mean? It means you don’t have to listen to me trying to sound sincere about Stamps.com or Audible.. (although, fyi, my MarathonBQ book is on audible) We do have a membership option where you can become a member and as a special thank you, you will get access to member’s only audio. There are book reviews, odd philosophical thoughts, zombie stories and I curate old episodes for you to listen to. I recently added that guy who cut off is foot so he could keep training and my first call with Geoff Galloway. “Curated” means I add some introductory comments and edit them up a bit. So anyhow – become a member so I can keep paying my bills.

Outro
OK my friends, you have hiked for 16 hours through to the end of episode 4-391. Nice work. Have a nap.
That closes another chapter for us here at RunRunLive. This summer is the 11th anniversary of starting the podcast. It’s good to see so many people still listening and following.
What’s next? I’ll more than likely run the Wapack 18 miler over Labor Day weekend. I highly recommend this race, especially if you are training for a fall race. It will make you strong!
…
When you take on these adventures, when you meet people, when you read books or any other interaction outside yourself there is a necessary exchange. Every time you go outside yourself and rub up against something external you are changed.
This is one of the beautiful things about life. You are always changing and growing. You could think of these exchanges as an infection of sort. Your body, mind and spirit absorb these influences and react to them. The result is something new. Something different.
If we are strong. If we are open. If we are positive. These infections become enhancements. They are additive. They make us better. We keep what fits. We become stronger in the process.
Don’t be afraid to open up and embrace the external. Swim upstream.
and I’ll see you out there!
