My best marathon came 6 years after my peak fitness year, on 30% less training volume. How is that possible? Sports psychology, smarter training, and 10 years of building a “fitness bank.” Diving into the data behind 6 World Marathon Majors. Part 1 of a series.
Banner Drop at Chicago Marathon
"This morning, over 50,000 people participated in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, a 26.2 mile race starting in the Loop, flanked and escorted by cops on all sides.
...
Bank of America (B of A) sponsors and organizes the event, which carries a $250-260 registration fee. B of A is also a sponsor and accomplice to “Israel”‘s illegitimate colonial project and an active genocide financier.
...
As ICE agents and national guard troops descend on the city, the spectacle of elite runners from across the world willingly gifting over $12M* to a genocide financier, escorted safely to the finish line by murderous CPD officers, leaves a bitter taste."

Not my fastest race, but very enjoyable! This year’s #ChicagoMarathon had perfect weather (if a bit on the warm side), but the race organizers had plenty of water and aid stations. I hear about 53,000 runners participated this year.
Well organized, good sized expo, great spectator support, and a fantastic view of many downtown districts in #Chicago. I would happily do this race again!
Edit: attached better photo
Looking at the photos for the Chicago Marathon, I would never know that Chicago was a war zone.
