Running with Pandas AI: an Exploration of the Boston Marathon

As I stood amidst the electrifying atmosphere of this year’s Boston Marathon, cheering on the runners with exhilaration, I began to understand the almost inarticulable magic of Boston. Marathons demonstrate that with mental fortitude, discipline, and determination, ordinary individuals can accomplish extraordinary feats. Even larger than that, marathons are a celebration of human progress and potential. With Boston being the oldest annual marathon in the world, one of the most challenging courses, and also one of the most symbolic events in terms of strength and resilience in light of the 2013 bombing, I decided to embark on a journey to explore it through a data lens. I was able to find a <a href="https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/zhikchen/boston-marathon-winners-men-and-women" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Kaggle dataset</a> with the winners (men & women) of the Boston Marathon, and their winning times. The columns of this dataset are as follows: <a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/running-with-pandas-ai-an-exploration-of-the-boston-marathon-ad9516b34d8a">Learn More</a>
