I honestly did not train as well as I should have for my first marathon. But it was not as difficult as I had first imagined. So now I’m super exited about preparing for the 2026 LA Marathon .
My training route in Upland includes a 5-mile climb up 866 feet of incline, starting over 1000 feet above sea level. This is the perfect environment for building hemoglobin. Then I follow-up with a half-mile or mile-long swim at 24 Hour Fitness .
My new training route
My new training route is illustrated to the left of this box. 5.19 miles one way, up an 866 foot climb. On the way back down I detour on Foothill to 24 Hour Fitness , for weights, sauna, and a mile swim.
