It's been a while since I've broken down the course for the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon, and I haven't done so since the course changed in 2018. Well, the race is coming up on February 20th so I give you the audio from an Instagram Live session I did on the @roguerunning page doing just that.

My themes for this year are courage and precision, and for those racing, I encourage you to bring those characteristics to bear on race day. Then, I break the half marathon course down into 4 sections and the marathon course down into 6 sections, talking about approach and pacing recommendations for each.

If you are racing Austin, best of luck to you. And if you aren't racing Austin, then I believe there are still lessons in this episode for any rolling course.
