Obviously I am not a professional athlete, and my paycheck doesn’t come from the result on the finish line tape but I do want to make decisions over the next few months that will help me run the best I can in October, and more importantly, know I’ve done everything to give myself the best chance to run a BQ! I found it really helpful sharing my training in previous cycles.

There is no denying it, the route is stunning. Around every corner were views that despite having both driven and cycled the course, still took my breath away. I stopped multiple times to take in the scenery and take hundreds of photos and videos.
Marathon Races
There is no denying it, the route is stunning. Around every corner were views that despite having both driven and cycled the course, still took my breath away. I stopped multiple times to take in the scenery and take hundreds of photos and videos.
Bixby Bridge
Honestly it wasn’t as bad as I had built it up to be and the views more than made up for it – as did knowing that the iconic Bixby Bridge and the piano player were coming up. That moment, hearing Billy Joel “Piano Man’ as we crossed the bridge, really hit home how long I’ve wanted to run this race.
The bridge marks the half way point and I definitely struggled mentally for a few miles from 14-16, which felt WAY too early to be struggling in a marathon. I ran through all the things I wanted to change during Chicago training, including focusing more on nutrition and strength training.
Monterey
Post Ranch Inn
Course elevation gain is 2182 ft, with a 2582 ft loss. If I were to run this race again, I’d stay in Big Sur to maximise race morning sleep! If you’ve got a large budget, I’ve heard Post Ranch Inn is wonderful! Another great option would be staying at Carmel Mission Inn at the finish line (and great if you have runners doing the 12K or 5K distance too).
Coming down the finish chute I saw my friend Loz, shouted Happy Birthday to her and picked up the pace to the finish line.
Speaking of wind, there was no shortage on course. It was stronger than I was anticipating and certainly made some of the unprotected stretches of road harder (and gives me a bouffant hairstyle in race pics!)
First Marathon
It was all about getting to the finish without putting myself in a hole. I thought I might finish around 4.30, I was not disappointed by the 4.49 time on the clock. Such a beautiful race and one I won’t forget. A great reminder that races are not all about PBs but about the experience.
The plan was to run/walk with a rough 9:1 ratio (find out why I love using a run/walk method for marathons & marathon training here) with the flexibility to walk more on the hills and run on the downhills and flat portions.
The gun went off a couple of minutes late, and our wave crossed shortly after. The first few miles are downhill and my goal was to keep the pace steady without going out too fast. My feet and hands were numb and I immediately regretted ditching my Christmas jumper at the start.
I met Joanna on the way to the start line which was a nice distraction from the cold and pre-race nerves.
The drive is about 50 minutes to the marathon starting point. And with the need to clear the roads before the race starts, runners are dropped off 90-120 mins before the start time. There was coffee, hot and cold water and plenty of loos in the start area. But it was still a cold wait on the concrete (in shorts!).
Lots to think about for Chicago Marathon in October (but more on that in a separate post). Luckily, despite all the things I got ‘wrong’, there were plenty of positives from the Big Sur International Marathon.
