Anyone getting ready to run the Miami Marathon needs to read this post! As someone who lived in Miami for years and raced there, plus paced visiting friends through the marathon it’s what I wish I’d known back then!
Hopefully these few key pieces to help make life easier! Once you start to realize how long it takes to train for a marathon, I hope you’ve started looking at the right plan!
And then you started thinking…should my training be any different for a flat marathon? Yes.
Is there anything different about the Miami Marathon Course that I should prepare for? Yes. While this might be a flat, beautiful course, the weather has the potential to keep it from being fast.
I’m so glad you’re thinking ahead and hope these tips will help you have a great race whether it’s your first or you’re out for a Personal Record. Let’s chat about some key Miami marathon tips!
Miami Marathon Tips
With any race, I have a few standard recommendations for our athletes:
- Try not to walk around a ton before the race.
- Have your pre-race dinner and morning of meal with you or planned out, so you know it’s food you tolerate.
- Don’t get sucked in to driving the course 🙂 you should have been training for whatever the elevation…
