7 Weeks to Boston | Clayton Young’s Road to the Starting Line, Powered by Stryd Insights
Episode 3 | Boston Marathon Build Series
Clayton Young is just seven weeks away from his first Boston Marathon on April 21st, 2025. After a breakthrough 2024—making his first Olympic team and securing a top-10 finish at a World Marathon Major—he’s setting even bigger goals for the year ahead.
In Episode 3 of his Boston Marathon Build series, Clayton takes on the U.S. Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, Georgia, using it as a key tune-up race to assess his fitness. This episode dives into his workouts leading up to race day and the crucial role Stryd Footpath data plays in tracking fatigue, analyzing stride changes, and measuring efficiency shifts throughout his marathon build.
"Before and after racing in Atlanta, I reviewed my Stryd data to compare my power and footpath with my previous half marathons and marathons. The data gave me insight into how my stride has progressed this marathon build and what we can do to improve as we get ready for Boston."
