    I’m so thrilled for you, Emily. I’ve been following you since Chicago & to see your progress has been inspiring. Wow, you accomplished all 3 goals! When I go for a PR, it’s often at the risk of fun, but you figured out the recipe on how to do both. Such sage advice regarding coaching. I agree w you 100%. I had one from a popular online coaching service & it was one of my worst cycles b/c my coach didn’t know me from the other 20 people she was coaching virtually. I showed up to the start burned out & frustrated. Kate’s awesome! Again, so happy for you!

    oh, this was such a great recap that I did not see the 25min fly by. I binged a few of your videos today starting from more recent videos ( the rebel v4, sc elite v4 ones) and coming to this one. While listening to you recounting your NYC marathon experience I was thrown back to my PR marathon in Budapest, some years ago. I relived the emotions, the nervousness, the excitement, the pain, the doubt, the surprise of succeeding. Congrats on your PR and on a great experience on this legendary course! This video finally turned me into a subscriber, though I already appreciated your mid-pack female runner's perspective on running shoes. I can finally get a more close to my ability and foot type opinion over everything running related 😊

    Congratulations!! So happy for you. To prep for NYC "hills" go to SF and run the SF marathon which has 1365 feet of elevation gain, then the NYC hills will seem easier!😉 Not minimizing the effort it takes for the NYC marathon. I've run NYC but didn't perceive it as being hilly at all as I live in a hilly area. But if you live where it's flat, try to run some longer runs in a hillier area. I echo your sentiments about PRs - everything has to be aligned that day - waking on the right side of the bed, the moon is in the right phase for you, you ate the right things, etc. When things are meant to be, it happens! Extremely well done - You RAN like HELL-er!!!👏👏🏅🐾🐾

    You inspire me to register for NY which I have been avoiding. My coach already told me last year after running Boston the last 3 yrs that I really should do NY, but I’ve been intimidated by the logistics of NY. Having a bad experience of cramping halfway thru CHI last month didn’t help. But your amazing result and Kofuzi’s videos of NY makes me want to do it after all! And your coach's training style Rey closely resembles my coach's. 🎉 huge congratulations 🎊

I’ve done two halfs in just under two hours, and didn’t eat a single thing on either of them. Which I know now is not ideal, but it did mean I didn’t even have to think about my stomach once.

    Clock time rules over everything. GPS watches have well documented margins of error when it comes to distance. And, it would be 26.2 only if you take the absolutely shortest route (perfect tangents), which is close to impossible for most ppl. Congrats on breaking 4!!! What is the difference between Chicago 2021 and NY 2023? Easy. 2 years of consistent, disciplined training. It's really something to be proud of more than any specific finish time.
