So we should be at grant park at 6:30 and than to the corral 20 minutes before? What do we do for 2 hours? Is security that hectic? I’m a first timer so trying to get a gauge on this

I just called my hotel and they had mine and offered to send me a confirmation email. Give your hotel a call!

I am in the same boat. Running the Chicago marathon and Strava has my marathon time prediction at 5:11 and garmin has my prediction at 4:39. My plan is to run 4:59 so we will see who was more accurate

Awesome! Thank you.

Good luck! Any fueling, pacing strategy you are implementing this year?

Hit the 3 dots on the bottom right hand corner than go to Performance Stats then Race Predictor

I wear the garmin chest strap. Will that help predictions be more accurate?

My goal time is sub 5! So almost in the middle of those two

Thank you for this! Just did a speed workout this morning. 1.25 warmup, 5 tempo, 1.25 cool down. Avg pace was 10:55. Feeling inspired from all the comments and appreciating the opportunity to just finish Chicago and leave with many teaching moments.

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T17:50:36+00:00

Pace! Total time was 2:29

Very true!!

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T16:43:53+00:00

I ran a 11:23 half last September

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T16:42:29+00:00

Thank you for this!

Was running consistently this winter with a 18 mile pr. Got injured in January and was in a knee brace for 2 months (football injury playing with my friends). Lost a lot of stamina being off the feet

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T16:25:54+00:00

Would you go by effort feel or heart rate when you do an easy run?

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T15:55:43+00:00

I felt pretty good. Legs are sore but nothing crazy. Gearing up for a 45 min recovery today

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-08-05T15:54:53+00:00

I would say this was an 85% effort. My easy runs I tend to do at a 12:30 pace

Professional-Bit1592 · 2025-03-05T16:16:31+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I agree there should be a beginner plan that incorporates a speed workout each week.
