The prestige of the Boston Marathon is apparent to Rory Linkletter and with his third shot at the race on Monday, he reflects on the lessons learned from finishing 33rd in 2021 but continued a build that saw him cross the line in 2:07:02 last year in sixth. It was a slice of validation that was more than just a reminder that he held the tools to compete on the biggest stage.
Linkletter will line up in Hopkinton knowing that he needs one of the best performances of his career to dominate all the way to the podium. He reflects on this cycle of training, presenting himself candidly in a manner that has resonated on the screen and finding the next piece of his distance running mission.
