Has anyone run the LA Marathon? I have decided to try for the OT trials qualifier. The LA Marathon has a fast first half, but the second half is slightly uphill but the elevation gain is only 150 feet over 12 miles. Would I even notice it? ... should have run CIM but didnt have the confidence...
Why not do the Napa Valley Marathon instead? Same day as LA Marathon, better course, better organizers, and probably better weather. It could rain on the NV Marathon, but that's probably less likely than it being uncomfortably hot at the LA Marathon.
Thanks - i thought it was a hilly course, but the profile shows a net downhill. Good suggestion and it is one that i have always wanted to run. Have you ever run it? It is hard to tell by the past few years results if it is fast.
