Great tips. Newton Hills are 17-21

Running my 1st Boston this year. Awesome advice and sweet medal collection.

Thanks for the video! Finally BQ earlier this year in Tokyo and will be running Chicago later this year to try to improve on my BQ time. Don’t know if I will make the cutoff but have started looking into the Boston course. Even drove from start to finish last month. Boy oh boy, why do people only talk about Newton Hills where the entire course is full of rolling hills? It’s almost like a trail run 😳 Do you think a pace of 30 seconds slower than my PB pace would be a good strategy? Also trying to figure out when to have breakfast as I don’t want to feel hungry when I start running

I have a PR of 3:32 and I've been training very hard this winter. I know it's a tough course so I was thinking of aiming to go sub 3:40, which is easier than what I've been training for but no doubt a challenge. If I'm aiming for my overall pace to be 8:17/mile when I finish and knowing I'll probably lose a little time keeping an even effort on the hills, what pace do you think I should start out with for the first 5k or 10k of the race?
