2. I'm a sports science student studying for my BSC
at Chester University. I started competitive
running when I turned 16 back in 2004. I started
with 5k and 10k events before moving up to half
marathons. I entered the New York marathon as
my first major distance event. Followed by the
London Marathon a year later.
Who Am I?
3. My tips and experiences
Let the crowd carry you on the day.
The atmosphere and people on the day of the
actual marathon are amazing, it's hard to
believe the level of support you get from total
strangers. Including the other racers. So many
people coming together in support.

5. Make sure you know where the
stations are
Check your run map beforehand and try to
work out where and when you are going to
want to feed. Resist the urge to just grab as
much as you can at every station to avoid
cramp.
6. Pace Yourself
Have a plan and stick to it.

Brooklyn. In the
orange top.
7. Keep an eye on the mile markers
They are crucial for knowing how to pace your
self.
Me again, crossing the
Brooklyn Bridge. Forgot
to wave, didn't see Joe
until the last minute.

But it helps :)
