TCS New York City Marathon Training Series 12M

Summary

Great, long race. Two laps of rolling hills, downhill, and Harlem Hill. The weather was great and not too humid. Good energy and great crowds cheering for the runners.

Pros

Fueling stations with water, gatorades, and gels
Hills

Cons

Same route/views because it’s two laps

The volunteers were knowledgeable and the course marshals were great in making sure no injuries happened with park goers crossing the route from what I could see. The fluid stations were much needed at each mile with gels at one station, gatorade at a few, and water at all. There were sprinklers at a few of the stations to keep your body cool in the humid weather.

Experience

This was only my second NYRR organized race and it was great. I haven’t really trained a lot but I made sure I ate a lot of carbs the day prior and morning of to avoid getting cramps. I knew there would be hills so I focused on going slow on the uphill and kicking it into another gear on the downhills.
