I am traing for the NYC Marathon. This will be my first marathon. I have run a few halfs and was surpsirsed that I got in for NYC. The training is so hard but everyone tells me that the end result will be worth it!

Thanks. I am running 24 (4 - 6 miles each one) miles this week. Next week a long of 15 miles to go with 2 more runs of 5 each for 25 miles. Then long runs of 17, 19, 19 and 20 every other week.
Did a 20 this weekend with 3ea 1 hr runs this week---- another 20 in 2weeks, 23 2 weeks later and Maine Marathon walk/run in October.---- This week uncovered need for cushier shoes with more open toe box,, (now I will have 10k, 1/2 and full Marathon shoes) otherwise feel reasonably good--- Also now know I will do this! No Doubts!---- Time to reserve a room----You are certainly working hard, power on!
I have a course elevation map if you are interested. Reply with your email and I will send it to you. I don't think they have it on their web site any longer.
Make sure to do hill work. The bridges provide most of the elevation but going up Lafeyette in Brooklyn is a long gradual uphill. Enjoy the experience, it is truly amazing!

Thanks. I have read that. I have a run some pretty good hills a couple times but only towards the begining of the run. Know I need to do more.
