69: How to Adjust Your Race for Injury, Illness, Weather, and More
This experience happens to virtually every runner. No matter how well your training cycle went, race day doesn’t go as planned. You get sick on race week, the weather forecast looks sub-optimal, you have a lot of work stress, or you just don’t feel great on race day. We draw on our coaching experiences as well as a basic understanding of race day physiology for this episode.
Before all that, we answer a listener’s question about what to do in the couple of months before starting a marathon training plan.
Discussion points include:
- How to adjust for illness on race day

- How do you deal with GI upset during a race
