I have respect for anyone who has completed a marathon (sort of...) and I probably never will...BUT everyone I have known who has gunned for Boston, has qualified, usually on the first attempt and seriously trying for it.

It isn't easy for a dude to qualify for on the first attempt unless they were already serious runners with lots of mileage under their belts. Again, I'm assuming these are young guys in the most competitive age group. It's easy as hell for olds or women to qualify.

Date: May 19th, 2013 1:30 AM Author: adventurous amethyst black woman boistinker For guys under 35 you need 3:05, which is just over 7:00 pace. That's not especially impressive I guess, but it was top 5 overall at one of the marathons I tried at - one with something like 500 finishers. The other one I tried at 3:05 was still inside the top 1% for about 7,000 people. It does seem like it's a lot easier to qualify when you get a little older. So I guess I've got that to look forward to. I'm sticking to shorter distances for the rest of the year anyway. Racking up a fair number of top 10s at medium sized 5/10ks. I won a smallish 5k today. |
