MarathonBQ: How to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 weeks

by Christopher J. Russell

This book is the result of 20 years of running, racing and qualifying for Boston as an average, amateur athlete. In MarathonBQ I share the accumulated knowledge of training and qualifying for Boston along with a simple training plan to get you there.

We love our sport. We want to qualify and compete at Boston, but we have full time jobs, families and limited time to train. How do we boil down the qualification campaign to its basic elements? How do we create a plan specifically for qualifying by doing the work required in the amount of time available?

In this book I share the plan and methodology I used to take 45+ minutes off my marathon PR. I cut out all the fluff and confusion and present you with a simple, realistic and straightforward methodology to get your time.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in read on...

I didn’t read the book in its entirety, but I did follow his marathon plan. I’m no ways am I close to BQ but I wanted a certain time and it delivered. Fundamentally a simple plan, you just gave to put the miles in!

I waited until after my race to rate this book and I am pleased to say that I qualified for the Boston marathon today by following this guys plan and tips. So it’s safe to say this book earned 5 stars

Great advice from a seasoned runner. He knows how to train and he has successfully run numerous marathons and qualified many times. He is a mere mortal (like you and me) not a professional athlete. He knows what it is like to have a family and a job and train. With this practical advice, you can qualify too.
