Everything you need to know to train smart, nail your fuel, and smash through “the wall”
The views of Lake Superior along a largely flat and fast course draw more than 20,000 new and veteran marathoners alike to the lakeside port of Duluth. Expect locals to show up in force cheering runners over the one notable bump, Lemon Drop Hill, and through the finish line.This pancake-flat course is beloved for its sheer speed. The early-November timing makes for a cool, colorful fall marathon as you zip through Indy neighborhoods.Vermont is a friendly place.
When I signed up to do my first, I was aware that the training process would be a grueling one. I knew to anticipate sore knees and tight hips. It’s supposed to be nearly impossible; remember, the race gets its name from the story of Philippides, a Greek messenger who ran the 26-ish miles from Marathon to Athens in order to announce his army’s victory over the Persians, and then died right after.
As I trained, I found that those grisly physical complications weren’t what I was worried about anyway. Those were just the surface fears, the ones I was more comfortable engaging with. And honestly, they’re pretty easy to avoid: lube up those nips, eat sensibly in the days before the race, make sure you have access to a toilet that morning, and you’re good to go.
