Goosebumps Before the Gun: Kevin Hebert's First Boston Marathon

About this episode

Kevin Hebert shares his experience and emotions leading up to his first Boston Marathon.

From his CIM debut to a tougher training block with double workout weeks, Kevin opens up about running with his wife Brooke and 10-year-old son Gus, the electric Boston energy, and chasing a sub-3:00 on one of the hardest courses in the world.
