Lindsey’s honest FOMO, imposter syndrome, and figuring out where Boston fits in her life

Peter’s 16-mile “spectator run” through the course, complete with a B2 flyover moment

The explosion of Boston weekend culture beyond the expo, from pop-ups to live shows

Running fashion confusion, generational style shifts, and feeling wildly out of the loop

The Newbury Street pop-up scene and accidentally meeting Scott Jurek

Shakeouts, community energy, and just wanting to be around “running stuff” all weekend

The sheer scale of Boston now, from 1,000+ person shakeouts to nonstop course traffic

“Generational” weather and how it changed everything from pacing to confidence

Women’s racing depth and the sense that sub-2:20 is about to become the new standard

Breakout performances and massive PR jumps in the American field

Sharon Lokedi’s patient, surgical race strategy and late-race domination

John Korir’s negative split masterclass and closing speed

The density of the field getting faster, deeper, and more competitive at every level
