Success as a masters athlete depends on much more than logging big miles. We will cover proper recovery, the importance of sleep and nutrition, hydration strategies, strength training for improving performance and preventing injuries. We will discuss management of common injuries before they become major setbacks. We will discuss adaptability to our work schedules, our families, the weather, and travel and other challenges that invariably come up with marathon preparation so you can stay healthy and consistent from day one until you cross that finish line. As a lifelong runner and accomplished competitive athlete, successfully completing 18 Boston Marathons and over 60 marathons altogether, I’ve spent decades learning what works and what doesn’t while continually adapting my training to stay healthy and competitive. My goal is to share the practical lessons, strategies and mindset I’ve developed through years of experience so you can train with confidence, avoid common mistakes and give yourself the best chance to qualify for Boston and complete the most iconic marathon on the planet!
