Marathon Week: Start Smart, Finish Strong

My first marathon was New York. Here is exactly what I would tell anyone lining up on Sunday: start smart, finish strong.

Marathon Week — NYC Marathon, Sunday Nov 1. Be calm and act like you been here before. Start smart, finish strong.

Marathon week is here.

We asked Hami what he would tell anyone lining up in New York on Sunday. His first marathon was New York — so this one is personal.

Start by keeping pace. The energy will make you want to go so hard out the gate. Remember to be calm and act like you been here before, because you need AND WILL see that hype the WHOLE race. Remember, start SMART, finish strong!

That is the whole race, right there. The Verrazzano, the crowds in Brooklyn, the roar on First Avenue — New York begs you to spend energy you do not have yet. The runners who win their day are the ones who stay calm through the first half and let the city carry them home in the second.

How we fuel a day like Sunday:

  • Before the start: MARATHON — one scoop, and you are set for the miles ahead.
  • During: stay on top of hydration — HYDRABLAST keeps electrolytes where they belong.
  • After the finish: FINISHLINE — recover like you plan to run again, because you do.
