Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A good cause. Safe travels and running to you, Steady. I don't know Mr. Fetch's policy on posting links to charities, but you should post it if allowed.

Thanks Frank, forecast dry for Saturday but been very wet so could be a tad heavy going underfoot but there's cake every 5 miles :-)

Six weeks remaining, how do you feel about your training? Are you incorporating some speed/track workouts? Tempos? Boston-specific hill training? Forest, how was Belvoir?

Belvoir was great thank you, tough underfoot but I controlled the pace well, pretty equal 1st / 2nd halves and finished in around 3:56, felt great, fuelling went well and couldn't ask for more.

No specific training but I do mix it up depending on how I feel, say run hills harder on a club run or throw in some mile reps at tempo when I feel strong. Never trained on track and would much rather run to how I feel on a specific day. Enjoyment for me is #1 even if more structure would get me better results.

Sounds good, forest. Finally a break in the weather. For the first time in more than a month, we had a high temperature for the day that was above 0 C. Still snow and ice everywhere, but the road surfaces are better. Got a nice 21 mile progressive run done on Sunday.

Hi Frank, I thought I'll try and dip into your knowledge about the race again. Now that wave assignments are out I was wondering if you know what the pace at the end of the first wave is going to be like? Due to a number of factors (a few niggles over the winter, not training for a fast marathon time, London Marathon 5 days later) I'll be planning to run more towards the 3:25ish pace instead of the sub 3h that I ran for my qualifier so I'm thinking about moving back a wave so I don't have to run on my own for most of the time.

Also do you know of any good places to meet up for a drink after the race other than the official finisher's party at Fenway?
