Running fashion confusion, generational style shifts, and feeling wildly out of the loop
The Newbury Street pop-up scene and accidentally meeting Scott Jurek
Shakeouts, community energy, and just wanting to be around “running stuff” all weekend
The sheer scale of Boston now, from 1,000+ person shakeouts to nonstop course traffic
“Generational” weather and how it changed everything from pacing to confidence
Women’s racing depth and the sense that sub-2:20 is about to become the new standard
Breakout performances and massive PR jumps in the American field
Sharon Lokedi’s patient, surgical race strategy and late-race domination
