The Boston Marathon: Tapering Tips with BPC and Q&A with RD Dave McGillivray

Part of the RACE-MANIA line-up of clinics & workshops, the workshop was added with 2017 Boston Marathon runners in mind, but is of value to anyone who plans to run a marathon in the future,

If you are running in the 2017 Boston Marathon, the date of RACE-MANIA most likely coincides with you and fellow runners coming off your last long run… that means it’s time to taper! In this session you’ll get tapering tips from coach Scott Carrier of Breakthrough Performance Coaching (BPC) and have a unique opportunity to ask Boston Marathon Race Director and endurance legend Dave McGillivray anything you ever wanted to know about this iconic race.

Race director, philanthropist,  motivational speaker,  accomplished athlete.  Dave McGillivray is a professional with a purpose.
