Training Tip from B.A.A. Coach Mark Carroll

"Runners, once the holiday season is over it will be time to start your Boston '23 training! December 26th will be 16 weeks from the marathon and this allows for a long gradual build up to prepare for your race in April. It is best to start your training early and the B.A.A. website has several programs to guide you. Be sure to tune in to our clinics in 2023 for much more training tips and advice." — Mark Carroll, two-time Olympian and B.A.A. High Performance Team Head Coach TRAIN FOR BOSTON
