MORE INFO:
While those running Boston are generally considered to be “faster” runners, they represent all age groups and thus paces. Recognizing that, all efforts are made to accommodate every runner. One of the most important concerns is keeping you healthy and injury free. In that regard, should injuries develop, all necessary training plan adaptations will be made as will recommendations and referrals to the proper physical therapy and/or medical providers enabling you to get back on the training schedule.
The 22-week Boston training program is separate but a part of the annual Rock ‘N Roll training program which commences the first Saturday of the new year. All the benefits of that program with a couple hundred runners are included and incorporated into the Boston training. Tuesday evening track work in the lighted stadium, long run water station support, guest speakers, and all the other Rock ‘N’ Roll offerings will continue to be available to you post Boston.
On Oct. 1st, the SDTC Boston Training Program will commence signups for those who have been accepted into, and desire to train with us, for the April 21st, 2025, Boston Marathon. After registration for Boston training program, you will be receiving an introductory email and questionnaire that will better help Jonathan assess your current condition, goals, and possible training plan modifications to keep you healthy.
