Sorry it was cancelled. The Redding Marathon in January is pretty downhill and starts at a low enough altitude (1,200 feet) that snow shouldn't be a concern. The other one I've always wanted to try is the Rogue Marathon in Medford.
Sad that the full was cancelled, but at least they had our safety in mind. We didn’t sign up for the ice capades! Lol. Half marathon means half the quad pains! Hey it was nice to meet you at the finish! Hope you’re recovering well. We’ll try again next year!
I trained primarily for pace. I don’t have the discipline or patience to train by heart rate, although I do understand the benefits. My coach gave me some specific times for what an “easy run”.
Totally understandable, I’m sure you and a lot of people had trained for a long time for either a BQ or PR, so this was a complete disappointment. I felt bad for all the people who flew into town and had hotel reservations. It’s tough when things are out of the race organization’s control such as the department of transportation saying the icy roads were hazardous. I’m just grateful that Revel was generous about giving us credit for any of their races next year. I’ve heard of other races where the runners were held in limbo over what the compensation policy was going to be. Best of luck in your future races and hope no freak icy road conditions. 💪🏼
As someone who ran their first marathon this year and getting a BQ on a very hilly course, there seems something unfairly wrong about net downhill courses. Good luck though!
Wow, congrats on getting a BQ at your first marathon! You’re a strong runner to accomplish that when most people’s goal is to get to the finish line for their first marathon. Net downhill courses are controversial when it comes to running a BQ. While they are fast, they do stress out the body a lot more than a flatter course. I gained a greater appreciation for downhill courses after running the Big Cottonwood Half two months ago and I was sore for several days….normally I don’t get sore after a half marathon, but it sure felt like I had done a full! Good luck at Boston!

Thanks for sharing info about the Redding Marathon. I didn’t know about it but I’m going to keep it on my radar.
Good exercise
Yes, thank you!
Sad it was cancelled :(
Was nice to meet you at the finish of the half though!

Do you use a head lamp while running in the dark?
I sometimes do when I remember to leave the house with it! When I’m in a rush to get out the door, I forget 😂
Are you primarily training for pace or heart rate?

Very upset by the result of the cancellation
