#363 - Boston Marathon 2026: Everything You Need to Know!

The Boston Marathon isn't just a race. It's a rite of passage and in this episode of Get Strong and Prosper, Coach Meg Walker and Six Star Legend, David Yim, take you through every single moment of the experience, from the buzzing energy of the expo to the emotion of crossing that iconic finish line on Boylston Street, and everything that comes after.

Whether you're a first-time qualifier nervously picking up your bib, a veteran chasing a PR, or a runner who's had Boston on the bucket list for years, this episode is your ultimate insider's guide to the world's most prestigious marathon.

We cover it all:

• Heartbreak Hill - the truth about mile 20 and how to survive it
• Boylston Street - what it actually feels like to run the most famous finishing stretch in marathon history
