We interrupt our regularly scheduled program this week to discuss the big reveal—the Boston Marathon announced that only qualified runners who ran 5 minutes and 29 seconds faster than their qualifying time were accepted. We discuss the why, what, and who of this. We also share our thoughts on how to improve the current selection process. Please join us on October 22 at 10:30 for a book signing and discussion with Christine Yu, past podcast guest and author of Up to Speed. Tickets can be found here. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-discussion-and-signing-with-sports-journalist-and-author-christine-yu-tickets-710699189407. Finally, enter to win a pair of Goodr sunglasses—just leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts in September. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook (Run Farther & Faster).
