Great information thanks. I ran a BQ for Boston 2024, but narrowly missed out. My buffer wasn’t quite enough. However, I’ve since ran a faster BQ that hopefully give me a chance for Boston 2025. My buffer is 7min 56s.🤞
I just ran my marathon this past Mother's day, and beat my BQ by 8:36mins, was hoping for 10mins...but I got stuck in a porta potty for 2mins at around 28km! I'm 95% sure I'm good for a bib for Boston 2025, but you never know...I already time qualified and was accepted to run Chicago 2024, so I don't plan to run another marathon in the 2025 qualifying period. Worst case, if I get cut for 2025....I run Chicago with a chip on my shoulder and qualify for Boston 2026. This is easy info for runners to digest, on a topic that isn't clearly laid out. Well done!
@@EfirdStrong Qualified at my local marathon here in Fredericton, N.B. Canada. I'm now waiting for the corral placement email for Chicago so I can submit my updated time and move up to corral C. Everyone who has run Chicago has told me they loved it. Boston seems to have a love/hate relationship! LOL
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck to you!!!
