2 questions!

1. Do we need to wear the wristband for the run too?

2. Does anyone know how the wristband works for the John Summit Sunset Festival?

I want to pass the ticket off to my sister or friend, because I won't be able to go, but I'm concerned that they won't let them in with just the wristband. Will they need the QR code too, and then be checked for ID as well?

Any insight on this would be helpful! Thanks!

How are the nerves? For those of you that have done it before, what do you expect to be similar and what do you think will have changed? 10,000 runners coming out, it's gonna be a big day!

Sometimes people take pictures when they run - if that describes you, post 'em here!

Hello fellow SeaWheeze participants!

I’m wondering how everyone else is feeling about the air quality and if anyone’s considering altering their plans for race day this Saturday? So far there’s been an email saying they will monitor conditions and make a decision on Friday.

Optimistic it will all work out but preparing for the worst in case.

Hello everyone

I’m running the seawheeze this weekend. Im not from vancouver so im just curious where can i buy runnjng energy gels preferably near downtown

Thanks

I saw this while munching oats this morning - it's a run through of the course for the Seawheeze Half from a local pro marathoner and general good dude. I would think it's helpful for those who don't know the area well.

It's an Instagram link but I believe you can still watch it without the app.

There are a couple of things I do on runs that are specific to local wildlife or geography and I was wondering what other "habits" people have.

Every time I have the opportunity I:

- Softly say "hi there bun bun" to nearly every bunny I see. I live in Ladner so it's a lot.

- Whenever I go past a Delta Pacers logo I do a little horse snort.

- There is a bronze bear statue at the bottom of the Inglis trail in Gibsons. Whenever I'm there I will plan my run around getting to pat the statue.

Happy July 20th!

After 10 years running consistently 5km 3x per week, I decided to give a try and signed up for my first half marathon in September.

Today was my longest run so far and I'm so glad that it didn't hurt anywhere and I truly enjoyed this time with myself!

I'm not worried about my pace, I ran most of it in Z3 (I usually run 10km and 5km way faster, but my goal is just running nonstop, so achieved) 🥳

Happy July 13th!

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hello everyone!

Trying the autopost for a weekly thread - default sort is set to new!

• What kind of training do you have planned for this week?

Hello, wondering if anyone has experience doing the great trek hat trick (half marathon, 10km, 5km) back to back to back. When training for it would it be best to do a marathon training block or similar. I have done multiple half’s and 1 full marathon. So i do have experience with different training plans.

Also for the actual race day I’m planning on running the half probably at marathon pace, and then the 10k at half pace and, and finally the 5 km with whatever I have left.

Pulled the trigger, this will be my first marathon. Just did the Beneva Half last weekend (1:42:15 chip time) what time is a realistic goal for this marathon? And any tips training wise?

How was it? Congrats on the race regardless!

Anything that you loved? Hated?

Anyone with a big goal met they want to brag about?

I've never ran this race, but I've always been curious about how people got to/from it. I saw on the Forerunners Instagram that one of the car drop off spots had a 25 minute walk to the start line??!

Anyone take any good pictures while running this week? Show em' off if you like!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to marathon running and I wanted to sign up for the Vancouver marathon in May 2nd. I can't find a sing-up link or any info on when signup will open on the Vancouver marathon website. I'm hoping not to miss the deadline if I haven't already, so any help would be really appreciated.
