Started running again after many years off. Training is going well. I think I can be ready to race my first marathon by January.
Houston looks like a good option, but I’m concerned about weather.
I live in Midwest. So I’ll be training outside in cold temps for next few months.
Is it bad idea to train in Midwest winter and race in Houston in January ?
Or is there anything I should be doing to prepare for difference in training vs racing conditions?
Or am I making a big deal over nothing…
I’m a marathon novice, so want to make sure I’m not making stupid decision before spending money on hotel / plane ticket, etc.
