How did these Boston finishers train for the Boston Marathon?

This past Monday, three Go! Running Tours guides crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon. Alan from Montreal. Emily from New York. Jose from Chicago. Three different training cycles, three different race days - and one thing in common: they earned every kilometer. In this special episode of Go! Running Talks, Lena sits down with Alan, Emily, and Jose days after the race to talk about what Boston actually feels like from the inside. The hills. The crowds. The moments where you're ready to quit and somehow don't. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Boston ruins your quads in the first four miles - before you even feel it The Wellesley Scream Tunnel: you can hear it a kilometer before you reach it Alan's Gollum analogy for the mental battle on the Newton Hills Emily's tip that made strangers cheer for her the entire 42.2K The real story behind why Heartbreak Hill is called Heartbreak Hill - from 1936 Is Heartbreak Hill actually as hard as they say? Three runners answer Emily's journey from charity runner to four-time Boston qualifier Jose's first Boston - and why he's already signing up again What all three would do differently next time Alan guides in Montreal. Emily guides in New York City. Jose guides in Chicago.
