This book is the result of 20 years of running, racing, and qualifying for the Boston Marathon 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?
You'll gain insight into 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, listen on....
MarathonBQ How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks with a FullTime Job and Family (Audible Audio Edition) Christopher Russell Matthew McDonough The Runic Press Books
I knew qualifying for Boston would be a reach goal for me, let alone running my first Marathon. After learning about Marathon BQ from the Marathon Training Academy podcast, I bought the book and started training. I qualified for Boston in my first marathon ever, running a 3:34:20. Chris provides a very honest look into the cruelty of BQ training but keeps the great rewards of BQ'ing in view. Not only did I find this book's training plan to be helpful (I got faster and could go farther than ever before), but all the other information was so helpful to a marathon newbie, such as cutting my toe nails the week before the race. Who knew? And as I beginner, I didn't know. Now I do. I felt very prepared not only for training, but for my tapering week and race day.Product details

MarathonBQ How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks with a FullTime Job and Family (Audible Audio Edition) Christopher Russell Matthew McDonough The Runic Press Books Reviews
A little one-dimensional, but that's stated up front - it's to do one thing and do it one way. Overall a good read with some helpful tips.
Even runners with no personal aspirations to qualify for Boston will find this book to be incredibly inspiring, with information that would benefit anyone who is contemplating running a marathon.
Love, love, love this book. Chris lays out his decades of running experience in a manner that helps the new and the seasoned runner learn what to do, what not to do, what works and what doesn't work. His approach is realistic and pragmatic. For the experienced (or even not so experienced) runner looking to Boston qualify I highly recommend this book. Going to try this plan and will post an update after my next marathon.
This is a great read and an incredible amount of insight. The plan is difficult and I have not yet qualified for Boston so I am planning (and hopping) that Chris can help guide me to Hopkinstown. My only comment is that I am older and in the beginning it says this book is for people in their 30's. I am nearly 50 and I am not sure if I would have purchased the book if I would have known. Having said that, I think Chris could add a 40+ workout routine to the book. After all I need a 315 just to get into NYC or London so who says that 50 year olds are slow!
Author represents himself as Joe mid-pack runner, but his 16 plus Boston Marathons suggest a more competitive nature. The book has an easy to read and instructive writing style. He has a story to tell and he tells it well. The subject matter is narrow and the audience who will be interested to read it likewise. However, for those looking for training tips to qualify for Boston, the book is on target. Highly recommend.
Chris wrote what I consider the best book on marathoning for mortals like me. If you have the goal of qualifying and running Boston, this is the book and plan for you. Chris can relate to us because he is one of us a person with a full time job and family that has the worthy goal of qualifying for Boston. I particularly like the chapters on speed work and "the dark place". You will fly through this book the first time you read it and will use it as a reference to guide you to Hopkington.
When I found this book on I had already started my training and was 2 weeks from NYC Marathon where I was planning to qualify for Boston 2020.
It gave me inspiration, helped me confirm decisions I’ve made before the book, over food and strengthening exercises (specially to avoid injuries) and also focus on the “taper week” without going mad and the pace strategy.
There’s enormous value to be able to understand from who’s been there so many times.
Spoiler alert I qualified for Boston
I knew qualifying for Boston would be a reach goal for me, let alone running my first Marathon. After learning about Marathon BQ from the Marathon Training Academy podcast, I bought the book and started training. I qualified for Boston in my first marathon ever, running a 33420. Chris provides a very honest look into the cruelty of BQ training but keeps the great rewards of BQ'ing in view. Not only did I find this book's training plan to be helpful (I got faster and could go farther than ever before), but all the other information was so helpful to a marathon newbie, such as cutting my toe nails the week before the race. Who knew? And as I beginner, I didn't know. Now I do. I felt very prepared not only for training, but for my tapering week and race day.
