Boston Marathon preview with Canadian Olympian Ben Preisner

Ben Preisner may be the 3rd fastest Canadian of all time over the marathon distance, but when he toes the line on Marathon Monday in Boston he’ll be a rookie all over again. Despite a 2:08 personal best, 3 World Championship appearances, and an Olympic Games under his belt, the 2026 Boston Marathon will be the 30 year old’s debut at a World Marathon Major. What makes this year’s Boston debut even more exciting for fans of the sport has been Ben’s transparency in inviting fans along for the journey towards Hopkinton through his daily Vlog, Bensmarathontraining, where he’s shared the ins and outs, highs and lows of what goes into an elite marathoner’s buildup for their goal race. Today, Ben joins the show to recap his Boston build and share his last minute thoughts on the event before lining up alongside the best in the world for the 26.2 mile trip from Hopkinton to Boylston street.
