How to train for this race (simple rules)

Most marathon builds succeed or fail on repeatability, not on heroic workouts.

  • Start conservatively. Your plan is only as good as your recovery.

  • Keep easy runs easy so you can absorb the long run and one quality session.

  • Practice fueling early (not just late in the build).

  • Protect the final 10K with pacing discipline and a real taper.

Start-by dates (train backward)

Verification

This page references the official site for time-sensitive details. Always verify race-week logistics and start procedures close to the date.

Training guardrails

  • Keep easy runs truly easy so workouts stay high quality.
  • Progress one variable at a time (volume first, then intensity).
  • Use cutback weeks every 3–4 weeks to absorb training.
  • If pain changes your gait, scale back and get assessed.

How to use this guide

Treat this page as a decision checklist:

  1. Confirm the race date and official logistics.
  2. Choose a realistic training plan length (16–24 weeks is common).
  3. Practice fueling and pacing in long runs.
  4. Keep race week simple: tested shoes, tested gels, conservative start.

Verification reminder

Race details change between editions (dates move, routes get rerouted, and registration rules update). Use this page as a starting point, then confirm time-sensitive details on the official site close to race day.

Logistics (what to verify)

If something is unknown, it means we couldn’t verify it yet. Use the official site or athlete guide as the source of truth.

Start logistics
Needs verification
Unknown — verify start time and corral procedures in the official athlete guide.
Unknown — verify corral/wave policies close to race day.
Expo
Needs verification
Unknown — verify expo location and hours.
Bib pickup
Needs verification
Unknown — verify bib pickup rules (ID, proxy pickup, deadlines).
Transport
Needs verification
  • • Plan transport like a system: test your route to the start, build buffer time, and keep race morning decisions simple.
  • • If the start is remote, confirm shuttle schedules and the last possible departure.
Travel
Needs verification
Nearest airport: unknown
  • • Prioritize logistics simplicity (sleep + transport) over ‘perfect’ hotels.
  • • If you can walk to the start, do it — race week stress compounds fast.

FAQs

Where should I confirm the latest date and start logistics?

Use the official race website first. If an athlete guide is published, treat it as the source of truth for expo, bib pickup, and start procedures.

How do I register for this race?

Registration rules vary by event and year. Use the official website and registration page links above, and confirm any lottery windows, qualification rules, and transfer policies before you plan travel.

How far in advance should I start training?

Pick a plan length that matches your base and injury history (often 16–24 weeks), then train backward from race day and include a taper.

What is the best pacing strategy for this course?

Start conservatively, settle into rhythm, and protect the final 10K. Use effort cues if conditions change.

What should I focus on in the last 4–6 weeks?

Race-specific long runs, fueling practice, and dialing in pacing cues. Avoid late ‘hero’ sessions that spike injury risk.

What if I don’t know my goal pace yet?

Use the pace calculator to explore scenarios, then anchor training by effort and recovery. Your goal pace should be earned in training, not guessed on race week.

How should I plan fueling for race day?

Practice your fueling schedule in long runs and use a conservative default early (carbs, fluids, and sodium). Adjust for heat and your gut tolerance.
