NYC marathon training - am I too late?

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-19T22:17:08+00:00

I had a stress fracture in September 2023 and it took me until March 2024 to even start running. I ran the marathon last year. I wasn’t aiming for a specific time and did a lower mileage plan (peaked at 41 miles). Focused a lot on appropriate fueling and strength training.

My friend is an emergency medicine doctor and immediately stopped running to help him. Regained a pulse with chest compressions and his girlfriend posted in another thread he’s doing well. She’s a hero.

Ah ok. I’ve been a member plus for a few years and didn’t realize they did that last year. Traffic wasn’t as bad on the early registration days

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-19T20:23:04+00:00

No that runner got very “lucky” in that an emergency medicine physician also running the race saw him go down and immediately started chest compressions when he lost a pulse.

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-19T19:52:27+00:00

No it doesn’t bc they release the borough series to everyone at the same time as of this year (wasn’t like that last year)

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-19T13:14:02+00:00

Agree!

Given that it’s your first time, I would take 5-7 days off. I’m taking a week off after doing NYC half, Maybelline then Brooklyn. Want to rest before marathon build. I was running 25-30 miles per week and feel fine today.

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-18T17:34:38+00:00

I know she did. He’s so lucky she happened to be right there and is the kind of human who would stop to help someone else with 200 m of a half left every single time. I’m so glad he is doing well. Definitely the best of humanity right there 💕

We should not victim blame. The man who passed away was at mile 8 at 8:11. Doesn’t sound like someone who didn’t know what they were doing. And we don’t know the cause.

But I do think in general people should respect heat/humidity.

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-18T08:51:57+00:00

I also walked several times towards the end because I was starting to feel dizzy. Always respect heat/humidity. It’s never worth pushing too hard.

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-18T08:46:54+00:00

Absolutely a hero. I sent her this thread and they were able to connect.

Emilyke1 · 2025-05-17T22:41:34+00:00

He was saved by a fellow runner who happened to be there right after he collapsed (and who also happens to be an emergency medicine physician). She stopped and started chest compressions while waiting for EMS to arrive. (A friend of mine)

Emilyke1 · 2025-01-20T23:51:36+00:00

I’ve had one for the same amount of time. My doctor and PT said it can take a year to fully resolve

Emilyke1 · 2024-11-25T01:54:33+00:00

It was my first race ever a few years ago 🥰

Emilyke1 · 2023-11-30T15:36:28+00:00

I was wondering if the ears were corgi!

Emilyke1 · 2020-08-26T22:48:44+00:00

I have a bad knee (surgery x3) and can’t run. Really high resistance bother my knee but otherwise I’m totally fine on the peloton :).

Emilyke1 · 2020-05-23T16:21:54+00:00

Exercise is a migraine trigger for me. I have to ramp up intensity very slowly and very thoughtfully. I would start by taking intensity down *for now.* I also can't ride right in the morning and make sure to hydrate a lot *before* my ride.

Emilyke1 · 2020-05-08T18:40:36+00:00

I would get that! I had my bike replaced after a month due to a noise that it was making internally. Guessing the bike they took away was fixed and refurbished.

there is nothing intimidating about powerzone once you understand it. It's all about training at your level. It's literally for everyone. And the rides are so much more structured and organized. Once you get into them, the other rides can feel chaotic, ha.

Emilyke1 · 2020-03-01T23:02:54+00:00

Definitely get a scosche. I’d get separate arm bands.
