Episode Notes

lisrunning.com for coaching!

On this episode, the boys had on special guest Jacob Thomson to help break down the Boston Marathon elite fields. Jacob is entered for his first Boston Marathon fresh off a 2:10 marathon at CIM in December! We also talked about how he plans to race the course in hopes to have a breakthrough race and finish in the top 10-15!

The women's field is stacked with defending champ Sharon Lokedi leading the way. Jacob is on her team and has some good insight on her training! The American women's field is very exciting as well with Fiona O'Keefe leading the way.

The men's side is led by defending Boston champ John Korir and NYC Marathon champ Benson Kipruto. The American men's field is also stacked, led by American Record Holder Conner Mantz and Houston Marathon champ Zouhair Talbi!

Enjoy!
