Did yesterday inspire you to follow the path of the heroic, through 5 boroughs and 26.2 miles of the greatest city on earth? You can do it. And you’ve got plenty of time to get in shape.
Start with a membership to the New York Road Runners Club where you’ll find a training schedule, advice, coaching and companionship for your journey.
Outfit yourself at the Super Runners Store, where expert advice and an excellent selection of sneakers and socks can help offset a training injury.
Compliment your running with cross training. Chelsea Piers offers an excellent selection of sports and personal trainers to compliment your program, from swimming and biking, to weight training and Pilates.
Center yourself with a yoga practice. Though no sport prepares you for yoga, yoga is excellent preparation for all sports. A rigorous practice at Jivamukti will stretch and strengthen your body, and give you the mental clarity and focus to get to and round the course.
Treat yourself. A little massage goes a long way.
