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
What do you do if you get injured before race day
Race day adjustments for weather
What to do if goal pace feels too hard on race day
How do you deal with GI upset during a race
How to adjust if you get your period on race day
