(Depending on your age)
22 to 34: 3:05 (7:04/mile). You're in the prime of your life. You have
nothing but time and money. Honestly, if you can't hold a steady jog for a
few hours in your mid-20s and early 30s, it's probably time to shut down
your running career right now. Difficulty Level: EASY
35 to 39: 3:10 (7:15/mile). Just a few years ago, the qualifying time for
this AG was 3:15, which we scored as Very, Very Easy. Now it's just:
Difficulty Level: VERY EASY
40 to 44: 3:15 (7:27/mile). I mean, at this point, we should just get rid of
the qualifying standard. The on-line registration should just say "Are you
40 to 44? If you answered yes, please click here to download your race bib".
Difficulty Level: EXTREMELY EASY
45 to 49: 3:25 (7:49/mile). You thought it was easy the last few years? Well
, here's an extra ten minutes! God forbid there's any corporate executive
who can't change his Out of Office Auto-Reply to tell the world he's running
the Boston Marathon. Difficulty Level: UNSPEAKABLY EASY
50 to 54: 3:30 (8:01/mile). At age 50, you are considered a Grand Master.
This is because at over 8:00 per mile, you look like the Grand Master of a
parade, moving at near-walking pace while everyone stares at you and your
funny clothes. Difficulty Level: IS WALKING DIFFICULT?
55 to 59: 3:40 (8:24/mile). If I was aged 55 to 59, I would never run Boston
for fear that someone assumed I ran almost 8:30 per mile pace. Difficulty
Level: I MEAN, COME ON

发帖数: 41236 | 3 To be honest, BQ is not hard.
Anybody with an average distance running talent, after some dedicate and
appropriate training, can do it. That being said, it still took some ppl
almost 10 years to make it, and many more runners can't make it in their
whole life.

not talent, because it does not require much talent at all.

发帖数: 41236 | 9 跟天赋也是很相关的，天赋好的人，不训练或者随便练练也能Q,
而天赋差的人，哪怕就是严格跟一个每周70+迈的plan, 也不见得能Q..
另外也许和比赛愿意拼多厉害也有些关系...
