Marathoners from out of state running in Houston, turbo sucking humid hydrocarbon-soaked air laced with mosquitos and fentanyl flakes, have got to be taking a few years off of their earth journey already. A beer won't hurt that much more.

I have no idea what the ring leader will bring. I'm just a friend showing up to help out.

Okay. So just yell "Hey CDUB!" if I need something.

I'm not a runner at all, but I'm very confident I could go out and mostly walk, but partially jog, a marathon on no prep.
Edit - See the time limit is 6 hours. Thought it was 8. That would make it a little tighter. But still do-able

The weather on Sunday is gonna suck but we've been on a pretty good run of cold weather.
Last 2 years have been great. I think in the last 6 runs there's only been one time where it's been warmer but not like this.
It was bound to happen. At least standing in the corrals will be comfortable…
Isn't it going to be in the mid to upper 60's Sunday morning? Or low 70's at worst? Seems like perfect running weather, but guessing the body get so overheated with long distance running that cold temps are much more ideal?Chewy said:

Plenty of studies show it's fine, even beneficial. "Bad for the joints/bones" is a myth not based on any science.
I understand marathoning is not for everyone tho.

Perfect marathon weather (for most people) is 40's. And biggest thing is dew point which will be pretty high on Sunday.
I think marathoners are insane but I said the same thing about half and I've done one the last 2 years and signed up for 2 this year. Still don't see myself ever doing a full cause a half isn't too hard to complete with normal exercise.Brittmoore Car Club said:
I will never understand marathon running. I gym and jog on a regular basis, so not at all against running. But marathon running just seems so extreme that it can't be healthy for the body overall. We were not designed to run 26 miles at a time. Cannot be good on the bones and ligaments, and I wonder if it's good for the heart.
That was the year. I knew there was a bad one in the last few years but couldn't remember for sure which year.htxag09 said:Chewy said:

My first marathon was houston in 2017. Weather was was worse than this. Like high 60's at the start and up into the 80s around noon if I remember correctly. Weather since has been pretty much perfect every year.

A 5 or 10K in the 70s is ok. For a marathon that is very warm and takes a lot out of you. Especially if it's humid.
No doubt. I could maybe see it in a place with more of a dry heat, where it cools down somewhat at night and the water is pretty chilly to cool the body off. But I am talking about a dry-90 MAX. Not 105 in Az or anything.BQ04 said:NoahAg said:

Correct. More sweat = loss of fluids, electrolytes and salt. The loss becomes a runaway train unless you really stay on top of it.
The hotter it gets, the higher the heart rate to pump more blood to cool the body. Higher heart rate means you can't use that energy to go fast.
What is amazing to me are the Ironman races in the summer given the heat and humidity. Makes marathons look like a warm up.
current temp I am seeing is upper 40's Sunday morning. Seems like pretty good running weather to meBrittmoore Car Club said:Isn't it going to be in the mid to upper 60's Sunday morning?
