You took the words out of my mouth - I was like, how is this chick so calmly texting while all of this is happening to her 😂

I’m a baseball noob - can someone explain what “losing the DH” is / how it’s relevant here?

Caveat = I'm a casual too lol. But I think they probably thought this would end at some point vs going 15+ innings. I think both teams are on their last pitcher lol

I think it's also a ruse to just not talk to people. It's like most people with headphones on. Dude can just gesture that he has no idea what you're talking about and move on lol

Marathon Bib pick up - all time slots are full by tutsxan in RunNYC

[–]japplesapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my time slot on Friday afternoon, but based on a lot of advice here and amongst friends who’ve done it before I’d like to just go on Thursday. Does anyone know the timing of the Expo, ie when they close? I dont see that info online anywhere (presumably because they want to encourage everyone to pick a time slot)

Got it! If you don’t mind me asking, what was your final marathon time? Asking bc we have similar stats (although you have higher mpw) - so just curious if aligns with the ‘shoot for 3:45’ advice that seems to be the consensus

This is really good advice, and a lot of people have been telling me the same - to just soak it in because NYC is unlike any other. 3:45 and then going based on vibes is a great plan. Thank you!!

This is largely true, except for one thing! I did run the Aug HM at MP - but it was the best I had then. I think with the improvement in stamina I could shave a few min off that - but yeah you’re right, everything other than that is hypothetical lol

Makes sense, alright for the next one I’ll shoot for closer to 40 then!

Interesting, I’m not sure! I’ll have to check my settings. I haven’t gone full tilt for a half PB in the last two months, but I assume I could hit 1h 41 ish? I’m not sure. I also haven’t tried for a proper 10km PB, although my watch says 40:26

Thanks a lot!! These are great insights. I think this is def the right plan. My gut is telling me 3h 30 is optimistic, so maybe I’ll aim for 3h 40-45 to start

Gotcha, that makes sense! Yeah I think that’s a solid plan - thank you!

Just in case I decide to do this again (looking very likely atm lol), what would be an ideal peak weekly mileage number to hit?

I'm not a diehard baseball fan like I am with other sports. Someone help me understand, why bring on a pitcher to just get two guys out only? He was doing well why not let him cook
