First 70.3 before my first marathon..
I got into running last year.
I’ve ran half marathons already and now my mind is branching out into other challenges.
I’ve already signed up for the Chicago marathon for 2027 through the charity program so I’m locked in on that goal, for my first marathon. I’m currently thinking sub 4:00:00.
But this Michigan 70.3 really has my attention too.
Problem might be.. they’re 3 weeks apart. 70.3 in late Sept.. Chi mid Oct.
I run 3x a week now, fasted half is 1:55:49. Strength train 3x a week, and one long bike right currently 30-40 miles a week. I plan on getting in the pool next week after the Detroit half marathon and bumping biking up to 2x a week.
I’ll have a lot a year to build that much more endurance up. I’m just curious on recovery time after the 70.3.
