Thank you!

Vancouver Marathon is also one of the more beautiful ones. I think over 20km of shoreline or something like that. Almost half of the route with stunning views.

I think the box steps helped a lot in terms of recovery. Maybe the more consistent / regular training helped too. I remember previous years I was sore for at least a week. This year, I was only truly sore on race day and the next day (Monday). Still some slight soreness on Tuesday, but I was already back running Tuesday night.
