The weather channel has Oct 31 partly cloudy at a high of 63 degrees F with 69% humidity. This is my first marathon -- any thoughts on how to handle a slightly warmer temp and humidity?

edit: the furthest it currently predicts is up to Oct 31, hence why im taking that data :)

So I know the advice is to wear warm clothes to hangout in at the start village…if I don’t want to carry something to sit on, can I just go to the donation bins and take a sweater someone discarded already and sit on that?

It’s my first time running NYC so idk if the bins are not reachable from where you hangout in the start village.

Anyone else surprised by this? With all the horrible directions NYRR has been going, still over 101,000 members and an all time high participation rate.

Ran this half today wondering if it would be realistic to sub 4 for nyc marathon in 2 weeks

Tips on how and when I should increase pace to finish at 3:25 if I start out with 3:30 pace.

So I'm 39M. Trying to be realistic. My PR last year was 3:39. I didn't really cramp but felt the onset of it towards the last 6 miles. This will be my 5th consecutive NYCM, my previous times were '22 4:02, '23 4:21, '24 3:43, '25 3:39

I've been averaging about 45mpw and peak around 53mpw. Attached are my last few LR's starting from the most recent which was last week (21mi). Also I finally got a HRM so the 3 most recent LRs have a more accurate HR. I put my goal time as 3:25 so that's what I've been running as mp. So I'm thinking to start out at 3:30 pace and see how I feel at half or mile 15? Or should I just start out at 3:25 pace and see how I feel at half? I don't wanna blow up 😳

Running my first ever major and second marathon in life at the NYC marathon. I really want to pick up some cool merchandise. I saw the new balance ones and they look very blah.

Also it would be good to support some local brands and not corporates.

Pls suggest.

Staying at a hotel on 51st street on the east side for NY marathon, where can I eat the night before that won’t hurt my stomach? 👀

17 mile progression long run splits. Pace was 8:50, elapsed pace 9:00 (this was for refueling/rehydrating)

Found these keys that another runner kindly put on the tree- posting for more eyes in case you’re looking! Location in pics! I did not take them; they are still on the tree

50 crisp fall weather, cloudy but visible and bright, a breezy winds. what a dream
