Running with Ed

Running with Ed takes place on May 15, 2027, in Park City, Utah, over 41.8 km (26 mi), starting at 8:00 a.m. No elevation gain is listed.

Park City sits above 7,000 feet, which changes the arithmetic of a marathon-length effort completely: breathing is the limiting factor long before the legs are, and pace targets brought from sea level are simply not transferable. Run the first hour at an effort that feels too easy, drink more than usual because the air is dry as well as thin, and judge the day on how you finish rather than on the clock.
