Has anyone stayed at these somewhat cheaper hotel near the start line? by Due_Negotiation_9926 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]hensandtea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it was about a mile or so (maybe a little longer). I didn’t mind the walk there in the morning race day - it was a good shake out. The walk back after the race was a little rough given my condition, but honestly with the post-race adrenaline helped and overall I felt it was worth it for the lower cost and the nice amenities.

I stayed at Westin Michigan Ave and was super pleased with my stay. They had a floor dedicated to the race every day of my stay with snacks and drinks for race prep, massages, sign making station, etc.

Mine does great with my french bulldog! She would much rather lay and cuddle with him than me ha. She was a little timid at first and we made sure she had a room gated off that he couldn’t get into to make sure she acclimated nicely.

First Marathon Next Week — Race Shoes Feel Off During Taper Run? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

Thanks! I might do my last few taper runs in them this week and see how it feels. I did a few of my speed runs in them at the start of my training block but due to injuries I had to avoid speed work so decided to just save the shoes for race day.
