"If you’re not under 2:10 then you can run up to 13 marathons per year, otherwise only 7-8"

Josephat has a Kenyan friend, Peter, staying with him until the Hamilton Marathon on Nov. 1st. Peter is hilarious and I’m sure I’m going to get some good material out of him in the coming months. Peter is in Peru right now to race a marathon on Sunday so I only got one run in with him so far. At the end of the run I asked them if they wanted to do some two minuters tomorrow…
Peter: “Sure, I need to test the Turbos”
Me: “The what?”
Peter: “The turbos!” pointing to his quads.

He then told me he runs 7-8 marathons a year. I told him I hope to never do more than two in a year. He then lets me know that rule only applies if you’re running marathons under 2:10. “If you’re not under 2:10 then you can run up to 13.” 13 in ONE year? Yes.

THX Reid!
