NY half marathon

3/21 Edited to

... Read moreHaving participated in the NYC Half Marathon, I can say it's a truly fantastic race that offers a unique experience combining urban scenery with energetic crowds. One of the things I found most helpful was tailoring my training to focus on endurance and pacing since the course features varied terrain and some challenging stretches. I also recommend getting familiar with the route beforehand. The NYC Half Marathon typically starts in Central Park, runs through the bustling streets of Manhattan, and sometimes heads toward the Brooklyn Bridge area, depending on the year. Knowing the course helped me mentally prepare and strategically conserve energy for the tougher segments. Another tip is to pay attention to your nutrition and hydration before and during the race. The organizers usually provide water stations, but carrying your own electrolytes and small snacks can be a lifesaver, especially if the weather is warm. Crossing the finish line and seeing the 'FINISHE' (finish line) sign is an incredible feeling that stays with you. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply completing your first half marathon, the support from volunteers and spectators really motivates you to push through. Overall, the NYC Half Marathon is a memorable event that blends athletic challenge with iconic city vibes. If you're planning to run it, start your training early, listen to your body, and enjoy every moment on the course.

Half Marathon Training Plan
Last week I ran my first half marathon in almost 2 years!! I had taken a break from longer distances and stuck to 5 and 10Ks for a while since that’s what I enjoy most! But training for this half helped me get motivated to do longer runs and actually ignited a new love for longer (for me) runs!

Half Marathon Pics📸
I am so proud to say I ran my first Half Marathon! I put in a lot of training and hard work. I almost couldn’t run this because 3 weeks before my race I developed a stress injury. I seen doctors, had an mri, went to physical therapy, recovery therapy, and did everything I could to run this race.

tips for your first half marathon 🫶🏻
1. Start out slower than you want - you can always build as you go (and it’s more exciting imo). The second half is where it gets mental. 2. Practice eating & drinking well before race day. Incorporate gels/chews/candy/etc into your long runs (60+ mins). Get used to drinking while moving to
