Summary
Chris sits down with Megan Brown at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza the day before the 2026 Boston Marathon. Megan shares what it's been like to run Boston five times, including once while three months pregnant and again just five months postpartum — and why she's never stopped chasing the streak. Now eyeing a sub-3 breakthrough with a training partner to push her, Megan talks about how motherhood reshaped her relationship with running, the mental wall between her 3:05 PR and the barrier she's been knocking on, and why she believes Boston is the Super Bowl of marathons. If you're chasing a BQ, her advice is simple: don't give up.
