Congrats to our client Scott on finishing the Boston Marathon! He writes,
“I finished the Boston Marathon on Monday. A charity runner, I was running the race for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in memory of my Mom.
I’ve run 5 previous marathons but always hit the wall. My goal was to run the Boston hills and still finish strong.
Thanks to Coach Abby’s detailed training schedules and race plan, I finished Boston Strong with my last mile being my fastest and my second fastest marathon time of 4:35, at the age of 55.
