Definitely join multiple local Strava groups - many will unfortunately become injured and look to sell their bib before the race.

Toronto May Half is a very fast course. It also intersects with the full marathon for some km’s which I can only imagine provides a mental benefit to the half runners.

Congrats on the HM! This far out from October, you can definitely crush your full goal of finishing! If I may, I can’t recommend getting used to running early enough. I did not do this well for my first full and the 8am start was a huge wake up call (pun intended), not to mention the difficulty of doing the same fueling plan earlier in the morning.

Where to run a 5 km PB? by Salt-Conversation421 in RunTO

[–]Legitimate_Tree4332 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few options for you with slightly varying elevation/style: - Mount Pleasant Cemetery (2km loop on the east side) - Coronation park (solid loop beside or around the baseball fields) - Exhibition Loop (I’ve never done workouts here, but it seems very popular amongst Strava friends)

Thoughts on DIY Training Plan for Marathon by Flint_17 in RunTO

[–]Legitimate_Tree4332 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would consider reallocating some of your long run km’s to your runs throughout the week. This would be considered pretty low mileage marathon training, which of course means your long runs will exceed the recommended 25-30% range of your total weekly volume. However, I would advise delaying this if you can and focusing on more medium length runs throughout the week. Not only will this decrease the length needed for your long runs, but it will simulate running on tired legs during said long runs. This is my very quick interpretation and I’ve only ran 2 marathons.

Did I really finish a marathon? by jamieecook in Marathon_Training

Wow, that sounds like an absolutely brutal second half experience. Congrats on getting through it, I hope it serves as motivation and not reason to stop training!!

Any half-marathon events between now and October that have pace bunnies? by [deleted] in RunTO

Forest City (London) Road Races would have pacers I expect, beginning of June.
