Anyone running this year? Will be my first full.

Course looks easy except for getting back from White Rock Lake...that will be a bear.

Looking like great weather is forecasted.

Had planned on it by my knee started giving me issues in October / November so I'm out.

You guys go crush it for me.

While the course isn't overly challenging, I wouldn't label it as easy. People not from Dallas are sometimes surprised with the hills through in the first 8ish miles and then again leaving the lake.

Cannot emphasize enough how important proper pacing is, especially given that it's your first marathon. Do not go out too fast thinking you are banking time. Rarely does this work and the chance of it working for first timers is pretty much nil.

Agreed. You don't hit a wall, you go out too fast.

I'm freaking because I haven't ran in a week and trying for a really good time.

I'm either going to crash and burn or celebrate. I can't see any other options.

I'm in for the full. Training has been a little rough this year so I'll probably be about 10-15 minutes slower than last year. Hoping for 3:45.

You know what's crazy? Our times are almost exactly the same on Strava.

I noticed you haven't been running as much so that's a great goal. I think you'll get it.

Mile 20 and 21 scare that crap out of me.

Any advice for a climb that late in a race?

I ran that hill (Winstead) two weeks ago and there will be people walking. It's about an 8% grade for 100M or so.

My strategy is to just slow my pace enough to not lose my HR going up it, and then recover on the slight downhill after you take a left on Lakewood Blvd.

At that point if I can make it back to the Belmont turn-off still feeling ok, then it's downhill to the finish.

So nose over belly and catch up the pace?

My issue is a typically attack hills and maintain my pace. I'm worried about doing it so late.

What's funny is I think they made the change to remove hills on the Santa Fe trail that people were complaining about...and instead introduced that monster. Joy.

Nope!

Relax man, you've put in the miles, the training is done, go out and enjoy the race.

Will be running the half for the 5th (or 6th?) year in a row. Not going to be a PR because a baby has been disrupting my training but, at least it should be great weather for once!

This will be my 2nd full, first since '14. My base wasn't quite where it was before the last race, so the whole training plan has been more of a slog than before. Shooting for 4:00. Nervous as hell about that last hill, but also ready to do this already!

As my running buddy told me yesterday, you'll either feel strong and get thru it easily or be dead and struggle. It's going to hurt either way so don't worry about it.
