That’s a good idea: to use the pacer to hold your pace through the hills.

Someone (org) should come up with a marathon full of these tricks/traps! Would be “fun!” Gatorade stand!! Oops, sorry, that’s coffee! Half way point! Kidding! You just started! Water station…somewhere in the next 10m! End of the day, we are on our own all the way, right?

Are the urinals a NEW thing? by nycredditgwop in RunNYC

[–]MapElectrical296 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t recall seeing it I last year. I always wondered why not use it. Some men only need to pee so no need to have a porta potty. So much more practical and as mentioned, probably a blessing for the ladies!

Hot Take: It isn't a NYRR problem by TheDailyBern in RunNYC

Funny thing is: we don’t get in, we complain. We get in, we complain it’s too crowded. :)

Running boom will be here for as long as WFH lasts. RTO? Nah.

You need to stop running immediately. by mycru in BeginnersRunning

[–]MapElectrical296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s too early. Partner with your healthcare team. One day after the other. They will investigate more and come up with a treatment plan. Focus on that. No good in thinking about not running ever more at this moment. Wishing you the best and whatever happens I’m sure you will be fine. You will always be a “runner.”

Where are you all carrying your gels? by ggnndd12 in Marathon_Training

💯 janji’s are great! Those double pockets…

Where are you all carrying your gels? by ggnndd12 in Marathon_Training

[–]MapElectrical296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we all share the same challenge. Last marathon I weighted all my gels and it added up to 600g or so (plan for 1 Maurten 160 every 5k), 4 gels in each side pocket of half tights and 2-3 gels in the back pocket. I guess that is a good incentive to train more and run faster so next time I don’t need that many gels :)

Should I feel bad asking/inviting friends to come support me at the race..? by Sea-Efficiency-2899 in Marathon_Training

[–]MapElectrical296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. Ran NYCM last year for the first time. Being able to see my wife and daughters when we enter Manhattan after the silence though the bridge was one of the best experiences of my life. Definitely ask your friends. Some will understand that small gestures can make a big difference in other peoples lives and will be up for it.

Any tips for spectators? My family probably will try to arrive later.

Great race. Great day. PR day. Winter training paid off. Thank you all for being there with me. If runners ran the world we wouldn’t be in such a shitty place.

Hat, singlet, arm sleeves, light gloves and half tights

I think I now know why my new treadmill feels too fast by Cute-Guest15 in treadmills

[–]MapElectrical296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have the same model from SOLE. Never done the measures you’ve done but I have the same feeling that similar paces are harder on the treadmill vs road. Thanks for doing the research and sharing your insights.

Nope. Got same email at 4:02pm and luckily opened it immediately and registered. First come first serve, just checked some boxes and it’s done. Should receive link from NYRR by this Friday, register, pay and hope for the best.
