    #286 - The Boston Marathon Recap

    Visit lisrunning.com to be coached by us! On this episode, the boys did one of their classic post-race recap episodes! As many of you know - we don't just cover the race, we walk through the entire weekend of events! There are so many good stories that go along with Boston Marathon weekend and a ton of laughs along the way! Some main events were our shakeout run on Saturday with Jacob and Rory which was a huge success, going to the expo, team dinners, riding the bus to Hopkinton, and of course the race itself! We all had very different race experiences - Scotty ran 2:55 with his wife, Danny ran a great race, and Chris struggled! Funny enough - we even had the legend Zouhair Talbi hop in on the tail end of this one, LOL! Enjoy!
