The big marathons including Boston and New York are ubiquitous on social media - but do they live up to the hype? We take a different format in our episode today and provide you with a nuanced hot take (as paradoxical as that sounds) on the most popular marathons.

First, we answer a listener’s question about taking Tylenol or Advil before a race. Then, we dive into a hot take: are the World Marathon Majors, including the Boston Marathon, overhyped on social media?

Discussion points include:

How Boston may have oversaturated running news over the past year
Why Boston should keep spots for charity runners
Should Boston change their entry process/qualifying standards?
Is it too easy for women to qualify for Boston?
Why are the World Marathon Majors (New York, Chicago, etc) so special?
Why you should embrace your own running journey no matter which races you run
