Patriot's Day, 1976. The hottest Boston Marathon. As the world's greatest marathoners melted along the 26.2 mile path from Hopkinton to Boston, 27-year-old Georgetown Senior Jack Fultz conquered both the course and the weather. In an era without water stations, mile markers, or gps watches, Fultz ran by intuition while spectators showered him with the spray from their garden hoses. Jack claimed victory in 2 hours, 20 minutes, and 19 seconds in what is remembered as "The Run for the Hoses."

Jack joins us in Mile 232 to share the story of his Boston win, offer expert advice for executing your best Boston Marathon, and provide tips for the mental aspects of racing.

We're considering big questions about single and double runs: Should I train once a day or twice? If I train twice how should I structure the runs? What are good run duration parameters? What about intensity? When is running twice per day too much? What are the benefits and limitations of cross train doubles?
