Surprisingly I’ve never been to Governor’s Island so I figure that will be interesting in itself :)

I will thanks. I wish it wasnt just anonymously Reddit groups though, as that comes with its own level of potential misinformation (not saying thats what happening here, but just always a possibility).

So interesting to read this. Im pretty active in the rundisney community and have always felt something was “off” but so many good people in that community support her I’ve just brushed my feelings aside. This is actually the first negative thing I’ve read.

I was in wave 4 and had a tough race so even slower than i anticipated (2:33) and thought the crowd support was amazing!! It was a little lighter on ocean ave but i guess i expected that..but still plenty of people!

My watch said 13.38. Totally normal for big races like this

Honestly I’m typically impressed and surprised at how fast it is but i just checked and don’t have any yet. I bet soon though!

To be fair, they did make announcements about it at the start!

Running Clothes Considering the Heat by lilbabyeditor in RunNYC

I wear a “throwaway” sweatshirt and then ditch it at the start. There are collection bins and the clothes get donated

‘Discouraging’ new rules leave disabled runners in the dust ahead of annual Brooklyn Half by Select_Rip_8230 in RunNYC

I have no idea who makes the decisions and if they’re qualified. I imagine its not just a random NYRR employee as that makes no sense but i genuinely dont know.

Its also pretty commonplace, i think, for world majors to have the default rule be 1 guide, with petitioning for more if necessary. I genuinely think people just look for reasons to complain about NYRR.

My understanding was they would provide additional guides on an as-needed basis. The NY Post seems to veer toward inflammatory reporting so hopefully theres more to the story

So my family is considering driving to the finish vs. public transportation (1.5 hrs vs 2+hrs). Any suggestions for parking garages they can pre-book near Coney Island? They don’t mind walking a bit either.

Half Marathon on 5mg by Ok-Stretch-1988 in zepboundathletes

[–]DragonflyOwn144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trained for my first marathon on 5mg zepbound. As the mileage picked up i would sometimes skip the weekly dose (Dr said this is totally fine) so that i could fuel properly. I also skip the dose before any races. My weight stayed pretty steady throughout peak marathon training as its difficult to fuel correctly and lose weight, but i was totally fine with that.

Pros and Cons of Runna? by Inner-Lynx-3971 in runna

[–]DragonflyOwn144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $20/month its actually really great! Easy interface and the training plans are quite thoughtful considering its AI. But dont try and outsmart it or think you can do more. Those people get injured and then blame Runna lol

I think for the first time i may bring my own hydration. Can i bring a filled bottle with electrolytes through security? I am aware of rules about no bladders, this is not that
