On this episode of Runnah, we’re welcoming back our first-ever repeat guest, Boston Marathon historian and author Paul Clerici! Paul joins us to explore the rich history of the world’s most iconic marathon—from its start in 1897 to the traditions, course quirks, and unforgettable moments that have shaped it over the years.

We also dive into Paul’s personal connection to the race, his favorite memories, and of course, the important question: What shoe do you choose to use? Paul shares why he runs in the New Balance 860, and we talk about how shoe choices have changed alongside the race itself.

Whether you’re training for Boston, hoping to qualify one day, or just love marathon history, this episode is full of great insight, stories, and inspiration.
