How to qualify for the Boston Marathon
"Thank you Pete Pfitzinger! And I guess I have to tell myself 'good job on not getting terrified of his speed work this time." Boston 2010, here I come!"
How I did it: I stuck to my training and slightly increased my overall mileage base from my first marathon to peaking out at 60 mpw, not 55, and stayed consistently in the 50-60 mpw range the entire training cycle. Pfitz 18 55 worked great for me with the balance of difference types of runs, and getting out there five days a week.
Lessons & tips:
Resources: Pete Pfitzinger's book Advanced Marathoning. Also utilized the RWOL forums for training info and tips.
