But I also totally get what you mean be it not being possible for all people, I honestly don't see a BQ in my future. Considering my first half marathon was hard at a 2:31 and it took me 4 years to go sub-2, I don't see it in the full. But that's ok, I'm happy running and meeting my own goals.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086887061737386391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-56759336502067801852013-12-29T08:54:14.753-08:002013-12-29T08:54:14.753-08:00I think you can do it.

You are motivated so that's the most important thing and staying healthy of course.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383271437202673669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-84855632912381534182013-12-27T14:05:27.748-08:002013-12-27T14:05:27.748-08:00Interesting analysis.

I think you will be able to keep your times either stable, or drop them just enough to get that BQ. And I definitely don't think everyone can run a BQ. I know I will likely never be able to run one. You either have the ability, or you don't. Only 1 to 2% of runners ever run a BQ, so what about the other 98% of runners out there? Yes I realize that training and desire determine part of it, but there is a reason that all of us are not Ryan Hall - because some of blessed with running ability, and some aren't. Simple as that.

And I think that the person who said that was a gifted but arrogant runner. It almost implies that if you don't run a a Boston Qualifier then you didn't try hard enough.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.com
