RACERS - we are officially less than 2 weeks out 🤩

Here’s my 2 cents on trusting the taper, accepting those nerves and buckling them in for the ride WITH YOU, and letting yourself let loose a little bit at the same time. Remember, it’s meant to be fun 🥹

If you know someone who’s racing New York this year, send this video their way 🫶🏼

Best of luck! I have started my long term plan for my first sub 3 and I wish I had this advice before my first Marathon. Best of luck, kick hard. 🙌🔥

Letting the nerves come along instead of fighting them makes so much sense. Hope you get to soak up New York as well as race it, Phily 🗽

Needed this video 2 weeks ago before my marathon lol! The coros race prediction time increased 2 mins during my taper! Definitely messed with my mind. But I was still able to beat the original race prediction time by over a minute 🤩

Love it. I still get maranoia before big events. Have even had phantom flu the night before. I find a good book to get my nose into for the weeks before is helpful
