Being from Chicago and having run the race twice (number 3 next month!) I can wholeheartedly agree with these. The Kofuzi video us helpful as well. It's a really well-run and special event, but with so many people it requires a lot of planning and forethought. Good luck to anyone running it this year!

Tip 11 - Go and Enjoy your accomplishment. Celebrate eating at a nice restaurant with all your love ones!

Thanks, man! Good tips and you're funny 😊

Good stuff Andrew, I hope everyone's training goes as planned.

Ive done Chicago twice and will be there again next week my top tips are study the map , Chicago has over 20 turns and if your on the wrong side of the wide streets during them your gonna run a half mile longer over time.. Also the roads are not flat if your running on the side of a street which is often slanted for water run off your gonna have a hip issue, try to run in the middle of them except when cutting a corner..

Great vlog Lil Whiz!! U should do this for all of your marathons

Thank you! Super excited to run Chicago 2023, my fifth major!

Got Chicago next week for the first time and this helped big time. Good times, good info, and good vibes!

Thanks Andrew. I don't use a Garmin, but for me the best tip you mentioned was being aware of the fact the finish line is actually further than it seems near the end. I once heard someone on the running stage at the expo say that people get the idea that because it is mostly a straight up run to the finish starting from the turn onto michigan avenue near the end, people unconciously are tricked into thinking they are almost finished, even with all the signs. Fact is, there is still a long way to go. One other thing: Chicago has fickle weather, from years when, I am told, the Gatorade froze, to the 2007 scorcher, and 2021 was pretty hot. If you end up in really hot weather, lower your expectations accordingly. People in 2021 were dropping out in fairly significant numbers because, I believe, they did not change their expectations. Thanks again, and best in your running.

Best of luck for your next one

geat ones 😁😁 Tip #11 have fun :D

Love it

Got a charity entry for this years Chicago marathon - hoping for a guaranteed qualifying time for next year! Thanks for the tips.

🤔🤔🤔. Lil’wiss🤔🤔 lil’ wiz?? Are those videos blocked from RU-vid. Can’t seem to find it 🤷🏻‍♂️😆😆. Great video as always Andrew 👍🏼

I will never run Chicago but I’m here for the vibes

I’m not even sure my simple, years-old but faithful Garmin 35 has manual lap. But I should remember to turn off auto pause because I never remember that and it always prevents me from knowing how much time I’ve lost if I come to a stop at any aid stations or for whatever reason,

Use the VIP area,it was $150 last year,but food and drink before and same after along with free alcohol,belter of a day.

Tip #11 Enjoy it 🤟

Any suggestions for us Apple Watch wearers?? Should I just use a stopwatch? The gps thing is making me panic slightly haha

Stupid question, but whats the difference between auto lap and manual lap?

Tip #9: Not an original, and not specific to CHI, but valuable for every marathon…and one I failed to follow and paid the price (7 minutes unscheduled pit stop at mile 10). Do NOT eat novel food the night before…and avoid fats/grease. Stick to your usual food you would have eaten at home the day before your long runs.

Also, maybe pass on a costume for the first one 🤭🤣🤣🤣

Those AI hands are gorgeous lol
