Marathon Weekend 2027

[The Expert]

I'm not at all sure if I'll run the marathon in a vest, but I'd like the option in case I decide I want to. In the meantime, I can definitely use it for training runs and other things. I appreciate all the thoughts!

I want to do that. I’m hoping someone gets one going in the Phila. area.

Worse comes to worst, you can just take the Amtrak down to DC and do it here!

Imagine that train ride home afterward…

I don't think it would be that bad- it's like an hour and a half maybe.

cafe car beverages to ice the legs...

I can’t imagine ever running WITHOUT having coffee beforehand!! Also, I’m shocked that there are people that eat Uncrustables.

They are extremely popular with NFL players

Thank you for the suggestion. I went down a Salomon rabbit hole after this thread and @nancipants comments on my training log, and I've ordered this from Running Warehouse: https://www.runningwarehouse.com/Sa...n_4_Set_Pack_Dusky_Orchid/descpage-SAW41.html

I don't run most weekday runs with a vest but anything half and over I really like it. phone stashed, extra gels, water etc.

On the flip side, I came to running from hiking/backpacking, so it's an adjustment not to carry 10 essentials....
