Weather can make picking the right shoes and gear for marathon training really tricky. Here’s how:

1. Temperature Changes: When it’s super hot, you might get blisters or feel too hot. If it’s really cold, you could risk frostbite or slipping.

2. Rain and Snow: When it rains or snows, the ground gets slippery. You’ll need shoes that can handle the wet but remember, they might not let your feet breathe as well.

3. Strong Winds: If the wind is strong, it can make running harder and tire you out quicker. You might need to wear heavier gear, which can be hard to move in.

To deal with these weather challenges:

• Get clothes you can layer. This way, you can adjust to different temperatures.
• Choose special shoes for different types of weather.
• Keep an eye on the weather forecast and change your gear if needed. Also, try out new gear on shorter runs before big races.

Planning can help smooth out the bumps caused by weather, but it will always be something to think about.
