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.

age categories, including eight who were in the top five:

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.
