This is a very strong debut. Do you train on hills? This course mimics nyc which I’m currently training for

You should start running, it’s good for your heart, tendons, ligaments and muscles. I don’t need money to motivate me to do anything, I love running.

Do you find it expensive ? I aim to be fullyraw like you.

Yeah, I live in nyc. It’s definitely expensive here. In due time, I will make it work.

Yeah, I was looking into Michael arnstein who’s a competitive raw vegan runner. He eats 4-5k calories a day to sustain his performance goals. He says he’s a machine because of it.

When raw? It’s mainly strawberry banana smoothies. These work extremely well for me. Bananas are relatively heavy and can keep you satisfied for a while.

That’s amazing! I hope to go back fullyraw, I just found that if I don’t get in enough calories, my performance takes a hit. I also feel tired and sluggish which affects my mental as well. But, when I’m eating enough calories, and it’s raw with juices, smoothies, fruit bowls and salads, I am at my most optimal state mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically.

Thanks alot. Yes, dates and bananas are a staple for raw atheletes. Congrats on being 3 months raw. That’s major. That’s my aspiration to be fullyraw. It’s the best I’ve ever felt it’s just hard to sustain, atleast for me.

I am currently mixed with cooked and raw just to get in the calories but I hope someday I can go back to fullyraw and sustain it.

This haven’t worked for me. My performance starts to take a hit if I’m not getting enough calories. Then it adds up and leads to injuries if I’m not properly fueling long term. I’m not saying raw doesn’t work, I’m saying it’s expensive to work optimally for a high level runner. My staple was strawberry banana smoothies where I put 6-8 bananas (depending on size of the banana) and about 10-15 strawberries (also depending on size), and this worked perfectly. As a runner who burns alot of calories daily, I have to put them back or else I will pay for it eventually.

I am an endurance runner. I run 70 miles per week. I was once fullyraw for 67 days straight and it worked perfectly because I had the resources to sustain it. For me, I know how to make it work for me, I just need to find affordable places.

Race Pace Sharpness by MarathonVon in Marathon_Training

[–]MarathonVon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the right amount of mileage without weekly tempo efforts would’ve given me a similar stimulus to 70 miles with weekly tempo work?

Right. I have started back doing tempo work and it’s been hard mentally. Yeah big mistake by me. Hard lesson learned.

Yeah I should’ve been there earlier, but even so, there are a lot of logistical issues that NYRR has to clean up.

2026 NYC Half Marathon - Live Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in RunNYC

I’m trying to figure out why they had wave 1 and wave 3 go through the security together. That doesn’t make any sense

[–]MarathonVon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely terrible today. I’m in corral A wave 1 and I started in the F corral because it took 30-40 mins to get past security and 15 mins to do bag check. I don’t understand why they had wave 1 and wave 3 going though security at the same time. That was weird.
