BOSTON MARATHON
MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2022

 

Kenya’s Evans Chebet has won the 2022 Boston Marathon in 2:06:51 to earn his first Abbott World Marathon Major title. Previous champions Lawrence Cherono (2019) was second in 2:07:21 and Benson Kipruto (2021) was third in 2:07:27.

 

Peres Jepchirchir has won the Boston Marathon. On a cool, sunny morning in Boston, the strongest women’s field in the race’s history made the journey from Hopkinton to Boylston for the 50th anniversary of the women’s race. In a thrilling sprint to the finish, it was reigning Olympic champion, Peres Jepchirchir, who took the win in 2:21:02. Ababel Yeshaneh of Ethiopia fought hard to beat her but had to settle for second, only four seconds behind her in 2:21:06. Mary Ngugi of Kenya was third in 2:21:32.

 

Top Canadian results at the 2022 Boston Marathon
Canada had 13 non-elite runners finish in the top 10 in their age groups, with eight finishing in the top three

The 2022 running of the Boston Marathon was full of excitement, suspense, heartbreak and triumph, and that excitment was not reserved solely for the elite packs. Thousands of Canadians toed the line in Hopkinton on Monday, and many of them had spectacular performances. Here are your top Canadian results from the 2022 Boston Marathon.

Canada had three Olympians in the men’s and women’s elite fields today. Trevor Haufbauer was Canada’s top male finisher, crossing the finish line 15th place in 2:10:52–the fastest ever time by a Canadian at Boston. Malindi Elmore and Natasha Wodak were the top Canadian female finishers, with Elmore finishing 11th in 2:27:58 (also the fastest time for a Canadian woman at Boston) and Wodak in 19th in 2:35:08. Both women were second and third in their age categories, respectively. Kate Bazeley was Canada’s other top female finisher, crossing the line in 24th in 2:38:26.

Top Canadian age group finishers
Canada saw 13 other runners finish in the top 10 in their age categories, including eight who were in the top five:

Dennis Mbelenze (NS, M40-44): 2nd in 2:26:07
Steven Lawrence (M40-44): 3rd in 2:27:20
Nuru Mahamoued (BC, M55-59): 10th in 2:53:46
Paul Huyer (Ont., M60-64): 2nd in 2:55:16

3 ways pro athletes run faster for longer
These simple training tactics will improve your aerobic engine and help you achieve your running goals



One of the biggest challenges runners face is how to translate their speed over a shorter distance, like a 5K, into a good result over a longer distance, like a marathon. Runner, sports rehabilitation therapist and coach James Dunne comes across this issue with many of his athletes. He explains three ways that pro athletes accomplish this and how recreational runners can apply these principles to their training to be able to run faster for longer.


Improve your aerobic engine
The first and arguably most important way elite athletes build up their speed endurance is by improving their aerobic engine. Dunne explains that the only way to do this is to build a bigger base of aerobic fitness through three types of sessions in your weekly running program: the long run, midweek aerobic runs and tempo workouts.

The long run: The pace should be slow and steady, firmly in your aerobic zone. You should be able to maintain a back-and-forth conversation fairly easily during your long run. The length of your longest long run will vary depending on the length of your goal race.

Midweek aerobic runs: As Dunne explains, if you’re running three times a week, doing one long run, one threshold (or tempo) run and one easy run, the best way to see improvement is to add another easy aerobic day, rather than another workout. This allows you to accumulate more weekly mileage without placing undue stress on your body. Dunne encourages most runners to build toward running around six hours per week.

Tempo workouts: These workouts are run at the point when your aerobic system is topping out and your anaerobic system is starting to kick in (a.k.a. your lactate threshold). In other words, a tempo run should be done at a pace that feels “sustainably uncomfortable.” As you do these types of workouts, your body will be able to run at an increasingly faster pace before you reach your lactate threshold, allowing you to run further, faster.
