A survivor's guide for the Boston marathon

The site freep.com has a survivour's guide for the Boston marathon with a good suggestions to prepare this marathon

• Find some hills and run what I call stepladders. Run a quarter of the

  as doing a speed workout. Three or four sets should work depending on
  the size of the hill.
