With the Boston marathon just around the corner, I thought you might appreciate a few tips on how to run your fastest marathon ever.

So I asked somebody who should know.

As you may be aware 36-year-old Ethopian superstar Haile Gebrselassie recently broke his own world record when running the Berlin Marathon. His time of 2:03:59 was 27 seconds quicker than his previous best.

So it comes as no surprise that Gebrselassie knows a thing or two about running the 26.2 miles fast—very fast.

And yes, I didn’t actually have a sit down chat with Gebrselassie to ask him how he does it. But I did track down this video of him giving advice just before the up coming London marathon (which he has run three times) to a British reported—which is almost as good I think.
