The Boston Marathon
|
"In 2013, I learned how fragile life is. I crossed the Boston Marathon finish line 30 minutes before the bombing, and everything changed in an instant. That day reminded me that running is about much more than times and medals—it’s about community and resilience. Giving away my medal was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it felt like the right thing to do." - Brent Cunningham. I just launched an inspiring new podcast about The Boston Marathon, with some crazy stories from the day of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Brent is one of the members of our PB Program. He shares how he improved from 12 min / mile (7:27 min / km) to 8:48 min / mile (5:28 min / km) at his MAF / Zone 2 heart rate. You can watch it HERE on YouTube.

We recorded most of this conversation above 14,000 feet, where Kilian shared stories from the adventure and practical advice for everyday runners and...
