Marathon PEAKING check in: where should we be 2-3 months out We are inching closer to those fall races and entering our peak training for many athletes. We want to do a check in on what you should be thinking about during this time of the season for fall marathoners. Should you have your fueling plan established? How should you practice water stops? Is it important to get a race on the schedule before race day? Should you be thinking what shoes/outfit to wear? Chaffing under control? What if you are just really lacking motivation right now? How do you determine what your long run should be? When will you start thinking about race day goals? Is it normal to not feel like you are getting faster with the heat? How should you avoid burnout during this time of year? What do you do if you miss a few days?
