chasing a boston qualifying time | marathon training week 13

This week’s training brought a huge mindset shift - I’ve officially set a new goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. 🏃‍♂️✨ Up until now, I’ve been focused on building mileage and preparing to run a strong marathon sub 3:40. But as I’ve seen my training progress, I realized I might be capable of more than I thought. So I’m switching up the second half of my training to chase a Boston Qualifier (BQ) time of sub 3:25!! In this video, I share: • Why I decided to set a BQ goal • Where my training is at right now • How I’m adjusting my long runs, workouts, and recovery • The mental shift that comes with chasing a big race goal I’ll also take you through the highlights of this week’s training, with a mix of workouts, long runs, and day-in-the-life moments. If you’re training for a marathon or chasing a big running goal of your own, I’d love to hear about it in the comments below! 🔔 Subscribe to follow along as I share this journey toward a Boston Qualifier and beyond. ⸻ 📱 CONNECT WITH ME: 📸 Instagram: @marissa_icardi 🎵 TikTok: @runwithriss 📧 Business Inquiries: marissaicardi@gmail.com ⸻ XO Riss #MarathonTraining #bostonmarathon #bq #boston #marathontraining #longrun #longdistancerunners #runvlog ⸻ Music track: Mud by Dagored Source: https://freetouse.com/music Copyright Free Music for Videos Music track: Ovanea by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free To Use Music for Video Music track: Supersonic by Burgundy Source: https://freetouse.com/music No Copyright Music for Video (Free) Music track: Last Chance by Waesto Source: https://freetouse.com/music Copyright Free Background Music
