Boston 2026. What a weekend!
Ryan Ford (
@ryanford_chevy ) had his big breakthrough here last year, running 2:08:00. He returned this year and clocked 2:05:46. Big thanks to the
@on OAC crew for all the support they've provided and to
@joe_klecker for the miles logged with our guy.
Carrie Ellwood (
@carrie.ellwoody ) did what we knew she could: ran a 9-minute personal best, clocking 2:22:53. Thanks to
@coachkastor ,
@mammothtc , and
@asicsrunning for their belief in her!
Amanda Vestri (
@a_vestri ) planned on racing the World Road Running Champs last fall, when that was canceled we pivoted to the NYCM where she ran the fastest debut by an American woman in history at the storied event, 2:25:40. In her second marathon on Monday she clocked 2:24:49, becoming the first US athlete in history to run 2:25 and 2:24 in her first two attempts at the distance. Thanks to
@brooksrunning for their support of this young superstar and to
@mountainroche for the plan.
Paige Wood (
@paigestoner11 ) ran a very solid 2:26:34. A good step for her on this course. Shoutout to the
@hoka @naz_elite crew for their work with her!
Turner Wiley (
@turner_wiley93 ) followed up his 2:09:27 runner-up performance at the
@marathonproj (a PR from his 2:11:55) with a solid 2:10:16. Thanks to
@brooksrunning for their support.
Sara Hall (
@sarahall3 ) had a jammed weekend with the release of her book “For the Love of the Grind” (order now, it's an amazing read!). She didn't have her day out on the course, but her build was very solid, and she’ll be ready for the next one. Thanks to
@asicsrunning for the love and for the book event in Boston!
Colin Bennie (
@colin_bennie ) didn't have the day he wanted (2:14:05), but he’ll be back. Thanks to
@brooksrunning for their continued support.
Double amputee, Marko Cheseti (
@markocheseto ) won his category again in 2:56:36! Given his build, I was amazed at his result.
My guy,
@mikewardian , paced his buddy,
@mattvosburgh , at
@baklinerunning to his first sub-2:40 in Beantown. Mike had already logged 180 miles the week going into Boston in his
@teva ’s!
Big thanks to
@teambaa ,
@jackflemingbaa , and
@mks4 for going above and beyond every year! Until next time!
