- 1. New York Marathon 2010 The long road through harlem
- 2. I'm a sports science student studying for my BSC at Chester University. I started competitive running when I turned 16 back in 2004. I started with 5k and 10k events before moving up to half marathons. I entered the New York marathon as my first major distance event. Followed by the London Marathon a year later. Who Am I?
- 3. My tips and experiences Let the crowd carry you on the day. The atmosphere and people on the day of the actual marathon are amazing, it's hard to believe the level of support you get from total strangers. Including the other racers. So many people coming together in support.
- 5. Make sure you know where the stations are Check your run map beforehand and try to work out where and when you are going to want to feed. Resist the urge to just grab as much as you can at every station to avoid cramp.
- 6. Pace Yourself Have a plan and stick to it. Me Heading through Brooklyn. In the orange top.
- 7. Keep an eye on the mile markers They are crucial for knowing how to pace your self. Me again, crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. Forgot to wave, didn't see Joe until the last minute.
- 8. It's not all about this But it helps :) Thanks for reading - Pervaiz Naviede.
