Boston and London aren't just marathons. They're full-body logistics puzzles, city-wide celebrations, and emotional pressure cookers that reveal what your training is really made of. We sit down with runners who lined up at two of the biggest stages in the sport and tell the story from the inside, from expo wins and wallet pain to the moments when the course turns and your plan has to change.Before we get to the World Marathon Majors recap, we share something closer to home: Bob reflects on losing Lily and the unexpected way she helped him find running again after an Achilles injury. From there, we shift into the here-and-now work that supports every big finish line, including staying consistent in the “training valley,” managing summer heat and humidity, and building a recovery routine that actually keeps you healthy. We talk steps, treadmills, dew point, hydration, pacing expectations, protein, electrolytes, and the small choices that add up when training ramps back up for runDisney season.Then we go deep on Boston Marathon and London Marathon experiences. You'll hear how runners get into Boston through charity fundraising and sponsor pathways, what race morning really feels like in Hopkinton, and how the hills and the finish on Boylston land when it's your first major or your sixth star. In London, we break down travel and jet lag tactics, an impressively engineered multi-start system, on-site bib printing, iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge, and crowds so loud you can't hear your own headphones.If you enjoyed these stories and tips, subscribe, share the episode with a running friend, and leave a quick review so more runners can find the Rise and Run community.Rise and Run LinksRise and Run Podcast Facebook PageRise and Run Podcast InstagramRise and Run Podcast Website and ShopRise and Run PatreonRunningwithalysha Alysha's Run Coaching (Mention Rise And Run and get $10 off) Send us Fan MailSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Jess McClain went from anonymous to American course record holder in about two years. She'll tell you that it's not actually that simple.The 2024 Olympic Trials were the moment the running world met Jess when she finished fourth in Orlando, out of nowhere—or so the story went.In this episode, she explains what that looked like from the inside: going in without expectations, with her husband Connor by her side, determined to be the person at the start line who was having the most fun. She'd been running at a high level since she was 12; the crowd just hadn't been paying attention.What followed (a Brooks contract renegotiated entirely without an agent; a 2:20:49 at Boston; a fifth-place finish with enough left in the tank to run down the woman in front of her on Boylston) was the product of four years of uninterrupted health, a weekly appointment with a bodywork therapist named George, and a training partnership with coach David Roche built on collaboration and gear-change work. She describes going from 5:18 pace to 4:56 at mile 16 of a long run like it's the most natural thing in the world.She also gets honest about what the early pro years actually cost her—financially, physically, and mentally—and why being able to support herself outside of running completely changed her relationship to racing. Eat enough, occasionally eat too much, but never eat too little—that's the philosophy. She's running the best marathons of her life on it.Two years out from LA and she's not rushing anything.Tap into the Jess McClain Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

“I tangoed way too much in the first half and didn't have enough left to do it again when it counted. The marathoner who dances smart wins. I danced too early.”My guest for today's episode is Rory Linkletter: a Canadian Olympian, co-host of the Out and Back Podcast, and one of the most analytically sharp pro voices in the sport right now. At the 2026 Boston Marathon, he ran 2:06:04 for 14th place overall and the second-fastest marathon in Canadian history. He came in with the best build of his career — two sub-60-minute halves, workouts that never said no — and went out with the lead pack convinced that anything was possible. Then the bill came due.In this conversation, Rory walks us through the moment the race turned, the internal negotiation of the final nine miles, the hamstring that seized on Boylston, and what he took from watching Clayton Young and Ryan Ford fly past him on Commonwealth Avenue. But we also get Rory in full pundit mode: how to actually read the Boston results in the context of 2028, why he thinks Zouhair Talbi was operating on a different level than everyone around him, his declaration that John Korir is the best in the world right now, his take on the Scott Fauble super shoe debate, the Emma Bates sponsorship controversy, and why he thinks the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials will be the craziest in modern history.He also previews Ottawa in five weeks, where he goes in with a simple mandate: run less with the heart, more with the head.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavezGuest: Rory Linkletter | @rory_linkletterProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSXENDURANCE: When you finish a hard workout, the work isn't actually done.

Chris Chavez is back from Boston and joins Preet Majithia to break down one of the most historic days in Boston Marathon history with near-perfect racing conditions, a course record, five men under 2:04, and a dominant back-to-back title defense. But first, the guys knock out a loaded week of track results before getting to the marathon.On the sprint side: Noah Lyles opens in 19.91, Elaine Thompson-Herah returns to the 100 with a 10.92 in her first race at the distance in nearly two years, Michael Norman makes his comeback, and Gabby Thomas heads to Ethiopia chasing sub-11 in a headwind.In the NCAA, Simeon Birnbaum breaks the collegiate 1500m record at Hayward Field with a 3:31, and Jane Hedengren breaks the outdoor 5000m record at Bryan Clay with a 14:50.World Athletics rejected 11 applications for transfers of allegiance, including Roje Stona, Jaydon Hibbert, Brigid Kosgei, and Favour Ofili, all linked to Turkey's pay-for-play recruitment scheme.On the Boston Marathon: John Korir runs 2:01:52 for a course record, negative splitting with a 60:02 second half. Alphonce Felix Simbu out-sprints Benson Kipruto on Boylston for second. Zouhair Talbi runs 2:03:45, the fastest ever by an American citizen on any course, with Charles Hicks running 2:04:35 in just his second marathon. We explain the record confusion. On the women's side, Sharon Lokedi defends her Boston title, running a 14:48 split from 35K to 40K to put the race away — a segment faster than her own 5K track PB. Jess McClain is top American again, this time covering moves instead of waiting to pick off the dead. And the Americans had their best collective day in recent memory, with Annie Frisbie, Carrie Ellwood, Elena Hayday, Kodi Kleven, and Amanda Vestri all posting big personal bests.We also debut our way too early U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials Power Rankings.You can read our Boston Marathon recap here.____________Hosts: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez + Preet Majithia | @preet_athletics Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSWAHOO: With the Wahoo KICKR RUN, you can simulate the exact Boston or London Marathon course right in your own home.

Ben Preisner may be the 3rd fastest Canadian of all time over the marathon distance, but when he toes the line on Marathon Monday in Boston he'll be a rookie all over again. Despite a 2:08 personal best, 3 World Championship appearances, and an Olympic Games under his belt, the 2026 Boston Marathon will be the 30 year old's debut at a World Marathon Major. What makes this year's Boston debut even more exciting for fans of the sport has been Ben's transparency in inviting fans along for the journey towards Hopkinton through his daily Vlog, Bensmarathontraining, where he's shared the ins and outs, highs and lows of what goes into an elite marathoner's buildup for their goal race. Today, Ben joins the show to recap his Boston build and share his last minute thoughts on the event before lining up alongside the best in the world for the 26.2 mile trip from Hopkinton to Boylston street.

Want to train smarter, fuel better, and understand what your body actually needs? This episode unpacks the real science behind endurance training and fueling—no pseudoscience, no gimmicks. We start with a quick announcement about our Boston Marathon 2026 prep webinar (covering pacing, fueling, and course strategy from Hopkinton to Boylston), then move into a “Hot or Not” segment on popular running recovery tools: KT tape, dry needling, cupping, and stretching versus mobility.Next, we tackle a listener question on calf cramps during long races—what causes them, how to respond in the moment, and how to prevent them through smarter training and fueling.Finally, we close with a deep dive into metabolism for runners: ATP production, the limits of fat oxidation, how and why the “crossover point” matters, and why fasted or low-carb approaches can increase injury risk and reduce performance—especially for women.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Intro & Boston 2026 webinar invite04:00 – Hot or Not: KT tape, dry needling, cupping, stretching vs. mobility22:00 – Listener Q: Calf cramps—on-course fixes and long-term prevention40:00 – Metabolism 101: fat vs. carb fueling, crossover point, LEA/RED-S risksSubscribe for more evidence-based endurance coaching.Learn about 1:1 coaching at microcosm-coaching.com and follow @microcosmcoaching on Instagram.

Bethany thought she had done recovery “right” the first time. But when HA came back, so did the doubt, fear, and frustration, especially when she considered herself “healthy” by all standards. In this episode, Bethany shares her raw and honest story of battling food obsession, navigating recovery in a new season of life (post-marriage), and how support from the HA Society helped her finally find freedom, not just physically, but mentally.If you've ever thought, “This shouldn't be happening to me,” this one's for you.Jool Wellness - Use HASOCIETY for 12% offhttps://joolwellness.comJoin The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

"There's this sense of all these people, they came out to watch you do this weird, crazy thing. And you're running toward the thing you've been working toward for many months, and all of these people are behind you, and people beside you trying to do the same thing. It's very special." First, Emily Oster started running. Then she started running fast. Then she ran a marathon: the California International Marathon in 2023, where she finished in a Boston Qualifying time of 3:17:39. Now, Emily is officially a Boston Marathoner, having completed this year's race in a personal best time of 3:14:53. In this episode, the economist and best-selling author breaks it all down, including what her training was like this time around, what the energy in the city felt like for a first-time Boston Marathoner, and why she briefly considered calling it quits at mile 23.

The 2025 Boston Marathon promises an exciting blend of redemption stories, debut intrigue, and head-to-head rivalries across both elite fields. On the men's side, defending champion Sisay Lemma returns after last year's audacious front-running victory, facing off against 2024 Chicago champ John Korir, two-time Boston winner Evans Chebet, rising Kenyan Daniel Mateiko, and U.S. hopeful Conner Mantz. Other contenders include Lesotho's Tebello Ramakongoana and Americans Clayton Young and CJ Albertson, each hoping to outlast the pack or capitalize on race-day chaos.In the women's race, Hellen Obiri is chasing a rare three-peat in Boston, entering as the clear favorite despite a strong field. She'll be challenged by past podium finishers Amane Beriso and Sharon Lokedi, 2:16 marathoner Yalemzerf Yehualaw, and rising marathon star Irene Cheptai. The American field is led by Keira D'Amato in her Boston debut, Emma Bates returning to form, and Dakota Popehn riding Olympic momentum. Young talents like Gabi Rooker, Jessica McClain, and Jackie Gaughan round out a promising domestic squad, with veterans Des Linden and Sara Vaughn adding experience to the mix.Cooler temperatures, slight winds, and the Newton Hills promise another unpredictable Patriot's Day. Tactics, toughness, and timing will determine who claims the tape on Boylston.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Big name sodas are rolling out bold new flavors in 2025, but the real buzz is happening in the prebiotic pop aisle.

There's nothing nicer than being outside on a beautiful late spring day, especially if it means you get a whole day away from your desk. Danielle, Carol, and digital editor Christine Alexander recently played hooky from their editorial duties and went on a horticultural adventure at one of New England's great public gardens. Located in Boylston, Massachusetts, Tower Hill is filled with fun places to explore, including formal gardens, woodland trails lined with native plantings, and two conservatories.

You asked for it, and you are getting it! Des and Kara recorded this freshy fresh Boston Marathon recap at 10:15 pm on Marathon Monday after just enough beers. The most important detail, perhaps, is that they shut down the bar at the end of this one. They were literally kicked out of the Sam Adams Taproom in downtown Boston to end the show, the perfect mic drop after an epic weekend of racing for the two of them. You will hear the full back story on Kara's successful mission to #destoryColt, including the complete shock to her system to navigate the challenges of the mass start. Bib pickup… “how does that work?” Gear check… “wait, what?” Lining up 20+ minutes early to be positioned well for the start… “this is crazy.” Despite these new hurdles, she “destroyed” Colt's PR by 7 seconds to finish in 18:50 and declare open season on the new hashtag #destroyKara as Colt now seeks his revenge. Then, of course, you hear highlights from Des's 11th Boston. Des talks about the difficulty of being marathon-sharp after a full weekend of events, shares her pre-race meal and pre-race vibes, and details the key moments in the race, including the words exchanged with Emma Bates when she caught the lead pack again at mile 15. Along the way, Kara gives her thoughts and emotions as the ultimate Des fangirl watching from the finish line on Boylston for the first time.

In this LIVE episode filmed at WBUR Cityspace in Boston, Des and Kara take you behind the scenes of the 2009, 2011, and 2018 Boston Marathons for an episode that will make you both laugh and cry. In 2009, Kara finished in an agonizing 3rd place in a podium battle that wasn't decided until Boylston, while Des watched from the stands. In 2011, Des finished in 2nd in a back and forth that had us all believing she could win until the closing meters of the race, while Kara ran her marathon PR for 5th place, just 6 months after having Colt. And we all know what happened in 2018 as a 33 year drought was finally broken. You get to hear Kara's reaction as she watches the 2009 finishing footage for the very first time and get behind the scenes details from all three races that weren't revealed in their books. This episode is a must listen for your spring race inspiration! Thank you to TCS, COROS, Olipop and WBUR for making this episode happen. We are excited to have COROS on as a new sponsor.

Summary In this conversation, Adam Wheeler shares his experience running the Boston Marathon. He discusses his desire to qualify for Boston and the challenge it presented. He talks about his accommodations in Somerville and recommends restaurants like Highland Kitchen. Adam also shares his expo experience and the logistics of transportation to the start line. He describes the race day atmosphere, the congestion at the start, and the incredible crowd support throughout the course. He highlights a moment of solitude around mile 8 where runners can take a deep breath and assess their performance. In this conversation, Adam and Andrew discuss Adam's experience running the Boston Marathon. They cover topics such as the internal check and the Wellesley section of the course, the Newton Hills and how they compare to the Pittsburgh Marathon, the significance of Heartbreak Hill and the net downhill section of the course, the iconic Right on Hereford, Left on Boylston turn, post-race logistics and the challenges of getting back to the hotel, and plans for post-race celebrations. Overall, Adam emphasizes the importance of enjoying the race and taking in the special moments. Takeaways Take the time to do an internal check during the race and remove distractions to get into your own rhythm. The Newton Hills in the Boston Marathon provide opportunities for recovery with flat stretches and downhill sections. Heartbreak Hill is a significant point in the race, but once you pass it, the course becomes mostly downhill. The Right on Hereford, Left on Boylston turn is a memorable and emotional moment for runners. Consider making changes to post-race logistics to avoid long walks and crowded transportation. Take the time to celebrate and enjoy the post-race experience, whether it's attending parties or spending time with friends and family.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Sunday, April 23 Wheeling video production students rack up awards…MonValley Vineyards opens its new Corkyard in Marion County…and a WV father and daughter make memories together running the Boston Marathon…on today's daily304. #1 – From THE WHEELING INTELLIGENCER – A project from the Wheeling Central Catholic High School's video production class earned the group statewide recognition this past week. The students received a second-place award and a $2,500 check as the result of their entry in the “No School Spirits Public Service Contest” sponsored by the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration. The video urges youths not to drink and drive. The 59-second video depicts a group of youths at a fictional party. Near the end, a student enters and reminds them of the dangers of drinking and driving. The award marked the third honor achieved by the Central video students this year. The students previously took first place in the Project on Racism Contest through the Wheeling YWCA, and also were honored for videos they did depicting climate change. Read more: https://www.theintelligencer.net/news/community/2023/04/central-students-awarded-for-video-production/ #2 – From WV NEWS -- The Marion County Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon cutting for MonValley Vineyards' new Corkyard, which is an addition to the business that will allow customers to eat and drink from MonValley Vineyards' new menu. MonValley Vineyards owner Roberta Mauller said that the Corkyard is a place for customers to sit and order food and drinks to enjoy onsite, including charcuterie boards made with imported meats and cheeses, craft beers and the vineyard's 28 different wines. “When I opened the wine cellar in 2020, I opened it with the idea that people would be able to come sit on the patio,” Mauller said. “The Corkyard used to be a patio, and I had this vision of people coming and sitting outside with some cheese and wine. Unfortunately, due to licensing requirements, I had to enclose that patio and run it as a separate business, so the Corkyard formed.” She added that the Corkyard will be expanded further this summer to include outdoor seating, and wine slushies will be available during the summer months.

This year, one local father-daughter duo will have marked the memory together. Charleston resident Robert Morgenstern and his daughter Jessie Hogue-Morgenstern were among about 30,000 entrants in this year's 127th Boston Marathon. “I get a little bit emotional thinking about it, because it's something I've wanted to do so long,” Hogue-Morgenstern said, “and I get to do it with my dad. I'm very, very excited to run it with him.” The road to this year's Boston began almost 20 years ago for Robert Morgenstern. “The Charleston Distance Run is actually what got me started running long distances,” he said. “I had been running shorter distances before that and, for me, running was just a way to lose myself in thought and also to deal with stress.” Read more: https://www.wtrf.com/west-virginia/west-virginia-father-runs-boston-marathon-with-daughter/ Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

‘Stories change hearts and hearts change minds and that's the only way we can grow” – Trevor Boylston Let's get educated on LGBTQ+ and gender dysphoria. Trevor takes us on an educational journey through his 17 year transgender journey. This is Trevor's experience. Everyone's journey will be unique to them. Gender identity is who you know yourself to be, who you are as a person and sexual orientation is who you are attracted to. Gender identity may not always match their gender expression and that is how you appear to the world around you. Trevor expresses himself as male with his example of his beard, T-shirt and bald head. Trevor has had surgeries which include consultations, travel and spending days/weeks away from home. Letters from several professionals are required to attest to Trevor making a sound decision. There are several safeguards in place to ensure that sound decisions are being made; this is not an overnight decision. Trevor's wife has been a fantastic supporter of his change and he thanks her immensely. What are some of the challenges? Changing gender on legal documents; our medical teams treating transgender patients; terminology; local political races and what is going on in your communities; depression and suicide; and many, many more. There's an over 40% suicide rate in the transgender population. This is such a sad statistic. Be supportive if someone comes to you and wants to talk. Having one supportive adult in a minor's life reduces the risk of suicide by 40%. Be that supportive adult! Trevor Project – suicide prevention hotline for kids - https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ Through authentic conversation, personal stories, and practical examples, Trevor guides corporations on their journey to developing a culture where all employees are welcome to bring their authentic selves to work.

A collection of historic apples that was threatened by disease is having a second act at the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, Mass., where a three-year-long restoration of their orchard of 119 antique varieties has just been completed. It's a story of going the distance to see those old varieties into the future in the age of climate change, and of what goes into making a successful forward-looking orchard—from smart watering methods to native underplantings and more. Mark Richardson, New England Botanic Garden's director of horticulture, oversaw the recent apple orchard restoration project there, and he's to tell us more about what imperiled the collection of 119 antique varieties, what it took to save them, and lessons learned that can help gardeners who want to successfully grow fruit.
