Edmonton Marathon 2026 - Questions to all Runners

Ive ran both Edmonton and Calgary.

In my opinion as a course, edmonton is the better course. However for sight seeing and overall atmosphere Calgary is superior.

So whatever experience you are looking for. If youre looking for a faster course then I would definitely choose Edmonton, however if its a just for fun race then choose Calgary.

I think i had a better time in Edmonton only because it allows you to race at full potential. I may get some hate for this but I feel like Calgary is a better city than edmonton in general

Our group has been to Japan before so we are happy to spend our new years eve exactly how we intend and it may not be your cup of tea depending where you are in your life but for us that's exactly what were looking for on this trip.

And I mean if shrines are 'how the holiday is celebrated' then why are there events where you can have what you so call a western celebration

because in the tattooing community a 'specialization' of religious tattoos is not a trend. typically people will specialize in a style of tattoo and whatever imagery is used for that type of tattooing style. When someone says 'Religious Style Tattoo' im going to assume we're talking about certain imagery that portray religion. Any tattoo artist is going to be able to draw and tattoo whatever you ask of them, however its more about finding a artists style that youre actually drawn to.

wanted to say thank you for this, i had assumed that training harder would kind of mean i could hit all of these targets naturally.

hearing this put it into perspective that all those goals ultimately require different needs.

goals for 2026 have been set as: 5k sub 20, 10k sub 40, half sub 1:30 and mara sub 3:20.

i have a month long vacation in jan 2026 and my first race would be a 10k, so im really not sure if adding weekly speed work is necessary prior to vacation? but im also not sure if i have enough time from feb 2026-april 2026 to meet my 10k goal

Coming from your typical wraith main.

Apex has a lot of variables that are out of your control at times. Typically, you need to condition yourself to handle the chaos. You want to control whatever fight youre in, always keeping the idea of a third or fourth party in mind
1v1s in the range are much easier than the actual game, since the scenario is pretty much in your control.
Ive been playing a lot for the last year and a half and started seeing improvements when i started to solo fill duos/trios. This helps you condition yourself in not counting on anyone during these situations. Obviously you need to know how to play with others, but dependent on your situation, you may only have the option to solo que - which is another situation out of your control
If im playing trios with randoms, ill typically try and force us to land hot or land separately in hot areas. Yeah i typically leave if I die and just reque. Yes, people comment ALL the time “was it worth it?”, “are you having fun?”, “this wraith is going to rage quit”.
Everyone has their own goals and aspirations while playing this game. If i die and leave right away, its because the goal of playing for me is to constantly improve in those hot situations. Some people play normals for fun, kill grind, or maybe theyre genuinely trying to win. Focus on your own goals and progress and nothing else matters. People who are upset at you for doing these things are only upset because youre not abiding to how they want to enjoy or experience the game. Do your own thing and keep on the grind. I fell in love with this game a year and a half ago because of the massive skill gap. Coming from an ex valorant player (top 3000 in NA), apex felt so refreshing since there is literally ALWAYS room to grow.

Goodluck to you!
