  • Chicago Marathon announces water refill stations: Will runners use them? - Canadian Running Magazine

    Jump

  • I understand that trail running "feels" different in terms of atmosphere and culture but I don't think the things you list make a practical difference for the purposes of this comparison.

    I'd also argue that the goals of the runners aren't that different. There are two types of goals in both kinds of running: to finish and enjoy the journey, or to push yourself and see how hard you can do against an outside standard, whether that's other competitors or the clock. Sure, the proportion of who is chasing which category of goal is different between trail and road running, but I don't buy into the idea that the motivations in general are different.

  • I'd be willing to bet that a much smaller number of runners will use them if the pre-filled cups are still available. Sounds like there are some lessons to learn from Paris, but only offering re-fills is doable. There are plenty of trail running races that make it work.

  • Ah yes, let's stick it to all those fake women who upend their entire lives, undergo constant discrimination, and in some cases invasive medical procedures so they can checks notes podium at an amateur local running event that offers no prizes

  • Why Everyday Athletes Are Testing Their Sweat (and Why It's MostlyPointless)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've run events up to 50 miles purely by feel (to include an ill-advised 50k in 97 degree heat and high humidity). As a middle or back of the pack runner, I think you're right. It's only if you get into the real competitive part of the roster that it would make a difference.

  • Running is a big part of my life, and I'm nowhere near her level. I would imagine I'd be grieving pretty hard if someone told me I couldn't run anymore, even if I were grateful to still be alive.

  • How do u train for a marathon?

    Jump

  • 20km a week isn't nearly enough to finish a marathon safely. You'd likely want closer to 50km a week if you don't want it to be a suckfest. And why no walking? I think your advice is highly specific to a small sample size of runners
