Over the last 35 years, Wayne Levy has run more than 100,000 miles. What does he do when he’s not out running more than halfway to the Moon? He serves on the Boston Athletic Association Board of Governors and the Advisory Board for Back on My Feet Boston, and he manages RunBoston, a company that provides historical running tours in Boston. Bryan and Peter get Wayne to give them the lowdown on the benefits of running a “daily dime,” find out what happened the first time Wayne attempted to run the Boston Marathon, and go in-depth on ways to avoid injury. Plus, Peter provides an update on Week 4 of the Clyde Army Countdown. READ MORE

This marks the final post recapping my trip to Boston earlier this month. I did not get much exercise in during the conference because the conference organizers were a bit disorganized and did not tell us that we had access to a gym until after we had already arrived. READ MORE

With the Boston Marathon — and the one-year anniversary of the finish-line bomb that shook the whole country at the sport’s most revered and respected marathon — drawing closer every day, I had an opportunity to get real with hard-core runner and owner of RunBoston Wayne Levy. Wayne is a Jamaican-born running legend who makes everyone feel like an old friend, and I have to admit, I was a bit starstuck by the fact that I was talking to a guy who has run over 100,000 lifetime miles including seven Boston Marathons.

I always love it when you can find a running related deal on sites like Groupon or LivingSocial. When I saw the LivingSocial special for the RunBoston Running Tours, I knew it was one I had to grab immediately. RunBoston offers guided running tours through the city of Boston and stops along the way at important cultural and historic sites. The course stretches through about 4.25 miles of Boston and the pace is a nice running pace that is perfect for novice and experienced runners alike. READ MORE
