Dallas Marathon cancelled, now what?
You’ve put in the months of arduous training. You were ready to perform. You’re working your way through the stages of grief because the event was cancelled. Now is the time to make some serious decisions of consequence regarding your running. Let’s look at the two top scenarios: A: Run an official marathon. Get with your running coach and figure out the best training plan to maintain and re-taper for the race, don’t be tempted to do anything hard this weekend in these horrible conditions, it just won’t be worth the risk. If you do any running, plan on EZ pace and adjust to the conditions, an injury at this point will erase your efforts to date. B: Just say screw it and go run a marathon. There are a number of ad hoc “marathon” runs set up for tomorrow. None of them will give you a true marathon experience, nor will they likely be able to give you any sense of your marathon fitness level due to the conditions of the available routes.
