A tuneup race or “dress rehearsal” long run is a key part of the marathon build! It’s crucial to show up to the marathon start line feeling as relaxed and prepared as possible. Doing a tuneup race or race simulation workout 4-6 weeks out from race day is a great opportunity to practice the mental and physical routines you plan to put in place on marathon morning. Things to make sure you practice in your tuneup race or simulation workout: 🎽 Full race day kit—apparel, shoes, socks, accessories 🥞 Breakfast/pre-race meal—timing and amount ⏰ Wake-up call—you’ll be up bright and early on the morning of the TCS NYC Marathon A big shoutout to @tcsglobal for helping make this series happen! #BuildingOnBelief #TCSpartner #BeliefRunsNYC
