Idk why run it in cool weather when the Olympic Marathon will surely be hot/humid?
Atlanta is normally in the 50s in February.
So it was cooler than average.
Could have had in in south Florida.
But heat is something you adapt to each season.
It would be hard on a lot of the runners to run a hot marathon in the middle of winter training.
At least in the Olympics, they will have time to adapt to hot weather running leading up to it.
I wouldn't do too hilly of a course because the runners have to recover and train again. This surely beat some of them up.
