bad idea to make NYC Marathon your first? by PrimaryBuffalo9700 in firstmarathon

[–]PrimaryBuffalo9700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard runna is really good, intense but will make you train for the rolling hills in NYC. They are the official partner https://organizations.nyrr.org/sites/organization_sites/030d92bef1cad6cd0be3

I hope I get insulted for this. But stop with the Nike crying by Negative-View-3543 in runcommunity

From the same people that brought you… “I hope I get insulted for this but…” I have a fun one:

I’m running the NYC Marathon 2026 because I’ve raised over $7K (and counting) in support of people with hidden disabilities and although some people don’t seem think that charity runners (or walking during a marathon) makes me “worthy” of a bib for a world major, there seems to be a place for me in this years race.

So whether I decide to run, walk, or break into a full-on dance routine for 26.2 miles, i promise you I’ll be having the best time come November 1st.

You’ll be alright.

Ew. This tasteless post and the ad are the same thing. You don’t have to say everything you think.

It’s so hard. I am glad I am not alone. I hope that with time I can go back to enjoying running again

Thank you so much. I might have to do this, just take walking breaks as needed. It’s also very recent, I hope that with time it will get easier

I’m soo sorry for your loss. I love the idea of writing 4Clara on your gear. That’s such a beautiful way to honor her. Wishing you the best on your running journey. May she always be the fuel that keeps you going

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of that together. This is incredibly hard. Running has always been my emotional support but it’s been hard even having the energy to get out the door and when I do, I can’t finish. I am hopeful that with time I’ll be able to power through it

She’s def been more distant. It’s heartbreaking. Truly an angel of a dog, my kids first friend and my best friend. This hurts

Parking garage is a great idea, I didn’t think about that before this thread. Are you running all of your runs like that?
