Are You Boston Bound?

By: Hayley Bennett

With the cooler weather and leaves starting to fall, comes the registration for the 116th Boston Marathon. This September those runners who have spent the last year training and racing to qualify for Boston 2012, will be sitting at their computers eagerly anticipating their time slot to register for their chance at Boston.

With this being the prized event of the year for the running community, runners have become engrossed in all that surrounds this race. If you Google “Boston or Bust” the amount of blogs, forums and articles alone speak to the number of people consumed with qualifying for this beloved race. Now that qualification regulations have become even more competitive starting in 2012 and taking a 5 minute dip in 2013, we can only imagine runners will be ramping up their training strategies to achieve their qualification times.

Mizuno Run Club would like to hear from those who have been working towards this goal of qualifying for Boston 2012. Were you among the many runners who have been vying for one of these coveted spots? To what extent did you take your training to and were you successful in your endeavours?
