At the beginning of this year I decided to put swim/bike training on hold to focus more on running, specifically to run my first full marathon. With Covid and working from home, I was able to run a lot more than I was planning on and my fitness has improved dramatically. I was feeling really good for and October marathon. Well.... You can guess what happened. Race was cancelled. Now I'm trying to figure out whether to run the virtual race and take advantage of the fitness I've built, adjust my training and aim for an early spring marathon, or completely restructure and try again next year.
I guess my question is two parts, what would you do in my situation? and, how can I not lose this level of fitness if I decide to push for a later race?
Thanks all!
