In this episode of the  @FastAndFreePodcast , I sit down with masters runner Henry Walker after a huge performance at the Boston Marathon, where he ran 2:57 and hit the qualifying standard for the Abbott World Masters Championships.

We break down how Henry approached Boston without a watch after it died at the start line, and how years of experience, effort-based training, and race discipline allowed him to stay completely in control. No splits. No pace checks. Just execution.

Henry’s Boston performance is the result of doing the simple things consistently, making better decisions over time, and trusting the process instead of chasing numbers.

Happy Training!
