Boston Marathon: The Reality of Running a World Major

from Resilient By Choice · host Ger Prendergast

In this episode of the Resilient By Choice Podcast, I reflect on my experience running the Boston Marathon, one of the most iconic races in the world and the first World Marathon Major of my journey.I talk about the build-up to race day, the atmosphere around the city, the Boston 5K, the marathon expo, race morning logistics, and what it felt like to finally stand on the start line of a race I had heard about for years.Beyond the race itself, I explore the lessons Boston taught me about appreciation, perspective, and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than becoming completely focused on performance.I also share some of the differences between Boston and European marathons, the incredible crowd support, and why this race felt like so much more than just another marathon.Whether you're a runner, endurance athlete, or simply someone chasing a goal that matters to you, I hope you'll find something useful in this conversation.Resilient By Choice PodcastHosted by Gerard PrendergastAuthor | Coach | Endurance Athlete#BostonMarathon #Marathon #Running #WorldMarathonMajors #ResilientByChoice #Endurance #Mindset #BallymunACContacting the Ger Prendergast PodcastInstagram: @ger_prendergastFacebook: Ger Prendergast (GP Mind and Body Fitness)Email: [email protected] for listening, Gotta Keep It Moving!!!
