Fall marathon plans?
« on: June 18, 2014, 01:54:44 PM »
I am currently mulling over whether or not I'm going to commit and run a fall marathon.

I'm thinking the Richmond Marathon on 11/15.   I'm just trying to make sure I'm ready & willing to commit to the time, training, and really work at it instead of just get through the training. 

What are you guys doing?  Inspire me!

Right now, I'm increasing a 50 mpw base to 60 (and touching on 70), with marathon training proper starting October...my intent is a BQ in the Tallahassee Marathon the first week of Feb...or bust....

Not exactly a fall marathon, but it is consuming my every waking thought, so...

My grandparents live in Goshen!  Is the marathon on the bike trail there? 

I think October 19th might be too soon for me.   Or not.  Is it a really small race?

DO IT!

I think so - there was a few miles through a pleasant park setting. I ran it last year (I think you mentioned the grand'rents then too).

This is a very good race. First rate organization. Smaller - I think about 400 full and a couple of hundred relay runners. You finish with a lap around the horse track.

St. George on Oct 4th.  I thought I might try actually training for it this year to mix things up this year.  My training window started a couple weeks ago, but I'm not really following a formal plan.  More just a Hansons-esque type thing where I run a whole bunch of miles almost every day, have a whole bunch of them be fast, and not worry about getting to 20 miles.

The timing of the Evil Empire RnR Las Vegas might work out for me.

I'm not doing one. I am going to make an all out assault on my HM PR in the fall. Boston 2015 will be my next marathon.

Now a friend is talking up Philly to me.  What is extra appealing is that training won't get serious tip AFTER summer vacation...

Everyone I know who ran philly loved it... I will be at the water stop at mile ten and you will have lots of fans cheering you.. Me, Meredith, Amy, among others..

Since I am in for nyc I hope to run it... I really hope my PF holds up through the training... Won't be shooting for any prs or anything...

My "pre training" has started... Right now I can not imagine being able to run a full 26.2 miles :(

I've heard great things about Philly too - and if you run it, I'll come down and cheer with the other Philly peeps!

No marathon on my list yet, but I am definitely scouting for a good fall HM to tackle my PR goal. Something flat, for a change!

It's only 15 or 20 minutes from the Bear Mt bridge. Got there in < half hour last year.

50k Bandera trail run in January. I'm thinking about signing up for a half early in the fall to keep me motivated this summer.
