Races as well as group Runs canceled or delayed – All around the world race directors as well as regional officials are canceling marathons as well as other running events in an effort to stop the spread of Coronavirus. This includes the Boston Marathon as well as London Marathon.

What to do if your race is canceled
First, inspect to see if your race is canceled, delayed with the date TBD OR rescheduled with the date set.
The race site and/or email updates ought to have official announcements on any type of modifications to the race day events.
If it’s canceled –
Find out if there are any type of choices to defer or get a refund. Then, relocation on as well as choose if you want to register for one more race later this year, run the race next year or train for a Netflix marathon.

Then, talk with your trainer or update your training as necessary. exactly how to change your marathon or half marathon training truly depends upon when your ‘A’ race was scheduled, the new date as well as your goals.
If you were training to run a sub-2 hour half marathon with your goal race in 4 weeks… you’re most likely in amazing shape, running a great deal of high quality workouts as well as in the last huge push of training before taper.
So I believe it’s fair to state (if nothing else at least to yourself), “This sucks!!”.
You can acknowledge that you’re been working hard, getting up early, prioritizing healing as well as great sleep, eating healthy, etc… all in an effort to hit a goal or even run a new pr as well as now you can’t see this training cycle with to the end.

If the Race is canceled – select one more Race later in the Year. – many races are being rescheduled for September as well as October so I’d suggest aiming for the autumn or later to be sure it won’t be canceled again.
If the Race is delayed however You CAN’T Run that Day – select one more Race later in the year. (See above) as well as inspect to see your choices for refunds or deferring up until next year.
If the Race is delayed as well as You CAN Run that Day – change your training plan to be in top performance mode on the new race date. (Work with a running trainer on this if you’re going for a goal, injury prone or not sure exactly how to discover a training plan that’s finest for you.)
No matter what – stay positive as well as Do Your Best.
We can’t manage the weather condition on race day. We can’t manage if random tummy problems occur at mile 14 of a marathon. We can’t manage a great deal of things about running… however we can manage our mindset as well as our effort during training.
