SCROLL DOWN FOR WEEKLY VIDEO KICK-OFF
Every week, Heartbreak hosts runners in-person in Boston & Chicago for Boston Marathon training. Not everyone can make the sessions though. In order, to reach our Heartbreakers and charity partners training all over the world, Coach Dan sends out a Friday intention setting message ahead of the long runs. We'll share them here each week. Want to train for Boston with us? Learn more here.

This week in Boston, we're headed to the finish! We won't cross it but we'll get right there to Exeter and Boylston St. It's a continuation of Heartbreak's signature "Home Course Advantage" covering miles 0-26.15. We welcomed a special guest to the Coach Kick-off this week for additional tips on how to prepare for your best Boston. Thank you, George!

This week is the Longest Long Run powered by Nike Running. Its our biggest run with an OUTDOOR KICK-OFF. Please dress accordingly. We'll collect extra jackets that you want to leave behind after the kick-off and bring them back in the shop so that you can wear a warm layer for Coach Dan's remarks. You can leave items as needed at the water stop.
Watch Joanie Benoit Samuelson's take on the hills here and Dan's kick-off below.
PARKING: Please, park in the carriage lane parallel to Commonwealth Ave. Park at least 5 feet from driveways and fire hydrants. Give yourself ample time to walk to the store.
