178. 2023 Chicago Marathon Race Recap

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we take

you on a thrilling journey as we share our own experiences and insights from the 2023 Chicago Marathon. From the moment we stepped into the bustling Expo, the energy was palpable, and we couldn't wait to collect our race bibs, explore the latest gear, and soak in the pre-race atmosphere. The dinners with fellow runners were a highlight, where we bonded over our shared passion and fueled up for the big day. We recount the rituals we personally follow in the days leading up to the race, including carb-loading at the iconic pasta dinner. On race morning, our hearts were pounding with excitement as we navigated the logistics and joined the sea of runners at the starting line. We'll share our VIP lounge experience and how it added a touch of luxury to our marathon journey.

Throughout the episode, we break down our own race experiences, the scenic beauty of the course, the incredible crowd support, and the challenges we faced. A world record was broken which was announced while we were running (Kelvin Kiptum ran a 2:00:35). This episode is not just informative but also a testament to the

joy and camaraderie that running the Chicago Marathon brings. Don't miss out;

it's bound to be a great listen!
