Bee shares how her training block was far from perfect, with hamstring niggles, a painful foot issue, a full rest period, and even a last-minute shoe change before Boston. But with smart coaching adjustments, fewer weekly runs, consistent rehab, better recovery, and a relaxed race-day mindset, she still ran a brilliant 3:27:12 PB at Boston.
