An invite to meet up on Saturday of race weekend
All sessions hosted by Peter Bromka, 8-time Boston finisher. I first ran Boston in 2005 as a charity runner, then multiple times as a qualifier, and then in 2019 & 2021 as part of the Elite Start, so I’ve seen the race from all angles. I love this race for many reasons and enjoy nothing more than geeking out with other runners, helping them maximize their Boston experience.
All sessions will be interactive - a conversation between experts with time for participants to submit and ask questions.
Each session will also have a “workshop” component, helping every runner apply what they’ve learned to their plan for race day. We’ll then meet in person for a shakeout jog together on Marathon Weekend, the morning of Saturday, April 13th.
Please join us, a group of runner geeks aiming to make the most of our day together, racing from Hopkinton to Boston.
