Got feedback about this episode? Send Carolyn a textWhen runners talk about “bucket-list marathons,” the conversation almost always begins — and ends — with the Abbott World Marathon Majors: Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, London, Tokyo, and Sydney. But here's the truth: some of the fastest, most historic, and most enjoyable marathons in the world aren't Majors at all.In this episode, I'm joined by my older brother, Kevin Beatty — a 2:21 marathoner & cross country coach at Loyalist College — to shine a light on excellent marathons beyond the Majors that deserve your attention.Kevin brings both historical perspective and recent experience, having run between 2:35–2:40 at races like Houston, CIM, and Grandma's in his late 40s. Together we cover:✨ How the World Marathon Majors came to be — and why “Major” doesn't always mean fastest or most prestigious✨ The hidden challenges of racing the Majors (logistics, late start times, athlete area waits)✨ International marathons worth traveling for — from historic courses like Athens and Fukuoka to PR factories like Valencia and Seville✨ U.S. “shadow majors” such as CIM, Grandma's, Houston, and Honolulu✨ Canadian favorites region by region, plus hidden gems like Petit Train and Georgina✨ Why boutique marathons like Erie, PA or Queen City can give runners double BQ opportunities✨ New models like The Marathon Project and McKirdy Micro MarathonIf you've ever felt like the World Majors were the only marathons that mattered, this conversation might just expand your horizons — and your race calendar.Kevin's previous episodes on Inspired Soles:Ep 3 | Treating Running Like a Sport Ep 78 | Pacer for Carolyn's Las Vegas 10k Win Ep 176 | US Olympic Marathon Trials RecapConnect with Carolyn & Inspired Soles:Instagram: @inspiredsolescast or @carolyn.c.coffinBrowse 250+ episodes in the archivesSubscribe, rate & review to support the showYou can help spread the running love!

What does it really take to qualify for the Boston Marathon? Grit? Speed? A fast course? How about… running the same loop ten times in a row? This past Sunday, Amy ran the Charles River Invitational, a 2.6 mile loop around the Charles River.  Same scenery. Not much crowd support. Pouring rain. One last shot on the last day to qualify for Boston for 2026.  We break down the strategy- from pacing to nutrition; what it felt like to run the same loop over and over; and why Boston is still the mecca of all marathons out there for runners!

The mental game is EVERYTHING right now. Week 8 of Chicago Marathon training hit like a freight train - swampy weather, feeling like absolute crap, and zero motivation to lace up. This is the part of training that can break you... or make you stronger. In this episode, I'm getting real about the difference between being hurt and just feeling run down, how I'm managing my recovering achilles and calf, and why physical therapy saved my training cycle. Most importantly, I'm sharing the mental strategies that are keeping me going when everything feels heavy: staying present, focusing on TODAY, and finding those tiny pockets of joy even when it's hard. If you're in the thick of training and struggling, this one's for you. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is just show up. [
