Welcome to the podcast is dedicated to making you a faster cyclist the ask a cycling coach podcast presented by trainer road

I'm coach Jonathan Lee with our head coach Chad Timberman everybody and our CEO Nate Pearson

Hello, and we're gonna answer more if you're coaching questions today

You can submit them at trainer road calm slash podcast

But before we get into the questions actually we got a few things

We've got to do some makeup work. We're also Nate congrats are in order to you. You're ruining my story

I'm ruined goodness. Well, do you want to just jump in at your story and pretend I never said anything?

Yes, so we we missed a podcast recording because Chad got sick

Too much training we commute system

Actually, you went on travel to Costa Rica. Yeah, it wasn't even Costa Rica

It was built in before that just a whole lot of travel in the last couple months took its toll true

So I've had some travel to I went down to Sacramento and my wife did CIM she qualified for Boston

Which it CIM is?

California International Marathon. So for her time she had to get under a 340 for age group

She's 35 and she beat it by like 340 3 minutes and 40 seconds

And then one thing I didn't know is that when you qualify for Boston to be able to go race Boston

You actually have to beat your qualifying time like you qualify for Boston

But then they'll have a cut off and say people everyone

Like a few years ago the cut off was you had to beat your time by 55 seconds last year

It was like two and a half minutes because so many people qualify they even lowered the times

So do people just like qualify and then this is to discourage them from just doing whatever they want during the marathon

I'm not running hard is that the no it's just they could only have I think it's 40,000 people
