QT: Raise Your Floor to Raise Your Ceiling (Best Of-ish)
This post/episode was originally published in November of 2017. The post/show notes are simply copy/pasted from the original post, but the podcast audio is a new take on the same subject.
What are your biggest, most outlandish, running goals?
You probably know my two big running goals, since I talk about them often.
But in case you need a reminder or are new to my corner of the internet, my two big running goals are to run a marathon in each state and to qualify for Boston.
My two goals have different requirements for success. One is all about longevity while the other is centered around performance.
Provided I keep running for the next 30-50 years, which is the plan, in theory running a marathon in every state shouldn’t be that difficult.
But qualifying for Boston? That is a goal that is going to require me to get substantially faster than I am right now of the marathon distance.
And the only way for that to happen is to raise the ceiling of my fitness.
