James and Boaz talk about their hopes and training with just two days to go. Then the silliness starts with lightning round questioning.

James discusses why he thinks the third time will be the charm with this marathon thing.

Tomorrow: Pre-race lightning round with James and Boaz. We’ll be taping that Friday morning, and logistics will mean that it won’t go live until Friday night. But you’ll see, it will definitely be worth the wait. In the meantime, check out these James and Boaz videos on the Marathon Performance site, and read this Runner’s World interview with James.

James and Boaz do 10 mile repeats with a minute’s rest between. They were to start at 4:55 and work down to 4:50 if they felt okay. Boaz wound up averaging 4:47, James 4:49. This was at about 5,300 feet of elevation.

Thursday: Big Plans for the Big Apple
