2026 LA Marathon Training in Hong Kong

Three weeks before the LA Marathon, I flew to Hong Kong. Most runners would panic about traveling this close to race day… but after dealing with back soreness from the Surf City Marathon, I knew something had to change. This trip isn’t about chasing miles. It’s about protecting the fitness I’ve already built. In this episode, I: Run a controlled 4-mile treadmill workout Complete a 6-mile progression run along Nathan Road to the Avenue of the Stars Reflect on sleep, recovery, and why rest is part of marathon training Share how I’m approaching taper season differently this time We head down Nathan Road in Kowloon before running along Victoria Harbour near the Bruce Lee statue at the Avenue of the Stars — one of the best places to run in Hong Kong thanks to its flat waterfront promenade and harbor views. With the LA Marathon just three weeks away, this vlog is about learning to run smarter, travel intentionally, and trust the process. If you’re training for a marathon, recovering from a race, or trying to balance travel with running — this one’s for you. #marathontraining #hongkong #losangeles #losangelesmarathon #lamarathon #travelvlog #runningvlog #runningmotivation #runner Epidemic Sounds: All I Ever Wanted (Instrumental Version) by Adelyn Paik Feel Good (Instrumental Version) by PØw Bonafide (Instrumental Version) by I’MIN Move (Instrumental Version) by Scene Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:57 4 mile easy run 04:30 Focus on rest 04:58 6 mile progression run 06:58 Running along Avenue of the Stars 10:59 Closing Thoughts
