Johnston says she put in almost a full year of training for the event, which included running the Boston Marathon earlier this year.
She says in order to succeed, you have to know your limits. In previous years, she pushed herself too hard and paid for it later in the race. She says you need to know how to push yourself far enough to win, but not so far that you beat yourself out.
Fewer says for him, it’s about fine-tuning his run.

He says it is about learning how to better manage the course and your body so that you succeed in all types of conditions.
