The Boston Marathon isn't just a race. It's a rite of passage and in this episode of Get Strong and Prosper, Coach Meg Walker and Six Star Legend, David Yim, take you through every single moment of the experience, from the buzzing energy of the expo to the emotion of crossing that iconic finish line on Boylston Street, and everything that comes after.
