Boston Qualifying Coach
A BQ is a margin game. The cutoff moves yearly, so we don't train to your standard — we train to your standard minus 3–5 minutes.
Margin-based pacing
We pick a margin-adjusted goal that survives a wave-day surprise. Pacing is built to that, not the official cutoff.
Course selection
Not all BQ courses are equal. We help pick a race that suits your physiology and weather tolerance.
The peak block
8 weeks of MP-blended long runs, threshold cycles, and one race-rehearsal half-marathon at goal MP.
