2013 Boston Marathon Profiles: Fifth Year Running
Charlestown Patch shares the stats, stories and training tips of local runners.
The 117th Boston Marathon is coming up on Monday, April 15. As the city prepares to welcome about 20,000 runners and even more spectators, Charlestown Patch will be sharing the stories of some local marathon participants.
- Name: Tatyana Pyntikova
- Age: 45
- Reason for running: Self-discipline, fitness, shared excitement of a very special event. Running Boston is a dream for many runners; being from Boston, it makes it even more special.
- Marathon experience: This will be my fifth Boston Marathon and 19th marathon overall. It was supposed to be the 20th marathon for me, but NYC marathon was cancelled and my 20th will be the marathon in NYC this fall.
- Training tip: Be slow, deliberate and consistent. It will get you farther than you can imagine. Don't do too much, too fast.
