  • Hats off to everyone who dropped hammers and crushed their race at the @nycmarathon. It was a spectacular day in NYC where this city and this team shined so bright! ☀️Our Open men and women placed 3️⃣rd, our master’s women were 1️⃣st, and master’s men were 9️⃣th. A total of 241 Whippets crossed the finish line!! Thank you @nyrr for putting on the best race in the world. Thank you to all the volunteers and to everyone who came out to support. We can’t wait to do it again next year!!! 💛💙💛💙 . . . . . #NYCMarathon #NYC #NewYork #marathon #tcsnewyorkcitymarathon #cheer #fam #running #racing #fitness #runners #photooftheday #run #runnersofinstagram #race #fitfam #DashingWhippets #DropTheHammer
  • If @laradorsky were a rapper, her name would be Yung Veteran. Lara (pictured L) is running the #tcsnycmarathon for the 5th year in a row. She is 23. • Closing out our spotlight on #nycm rookies & veterans, here’s Lara on her marathon journey. • WHY RUN NYC? I run it every year! I want to have a crazy long NYC Marathon streak one day. • RACE GOALS For every marathon, my primary goal is to just finish! Also, no blisters or bloody 👃 would be appreciated (once I got a bloody nose during a marathon... it was not a fun time, but I just got my nose cauterized so 🤞that issue is solved). • TRAINING My training was pretty meh this year. Running was more of a struggle than usual, which I'm going to attribute to being busier with work and school than in previous years. Monday night @amityhallnyc runs are the best though and going to a Whippets run definitely helped me get out the 🚪 on days I otherwise would have skipped a run/workout! • SUPERSTITIONS I try to avoid thinking about the race entirely until I get to the start line, but if things go wrong in the days leading up to the marathon, I always feel like I'm going to have a better race. • WHAT’S ON YOUR 🏃‍♀️🎧? “Welcome to New York” by @taylorswift is on my NYC Marathon playlist, and I really hope I time it so that it plays when I am on the 59th street bridge • FILL IN THE BLANK Taper is ___ something I don't know how to do. After the race, I am most looking forward to ____a nap and 🍦 • #marathonstreak #welcometonewyork @lara.and.lora.run #movedme @nyrr @nycmarathon #nycmarathon #dashingwhippets #dropthehammer #marathon #marathoncountdown #running #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #tapertime #marathonszn #rookiesandvets #race #racing #athlete #queensborobridge #59thstreetbridge
  • Next up in our #tcsnycmarathon rookies & veterans series is the seriously speedy @stevebione . Although Steve ran a marathon in August (can you imagaine!? ☀️🔥💀) to successfully BQ, this will be his first #NYCM 🎉 📷 cred: @grahammacindoe • WHY RUN NYC? I love a good challenge. I ran in HS and on a club team in college. Then fell out of it for a few years, and basically on a bar bet with a colleague raced the JPM Corporate Challenge in 2016 (I won). Found the love for the sport again. Been pushing myself up in distance since. • RACE GOAL I’m going to go for it, pack up with some Whippets, and enjoy the ride. Hopefully going to run a 2:38. • TRAINING It’s been unbelievable training with the Whippets. I’ve relied on my teammates so many times through the ups and downs of marathon training. They got me through it all and helped me achieve things I never thought possible. I would not be where I am today without my teammates, coaches and friends. • SUPERSTITIONS 🥜 butter & 🍌 sandwich for breakfast. • WHAT’S ON YOUR 🏃🎧? “Beautiful Now” by @zedd • FILL IN THE BLANK After the race, I am most looking forward to... taking some much-needed time off. I’m that guy who ran a random August marathon to BQ for 2019. This has been a very long training cycle. • LAST WORDS Thank you in advance to everyone cheering and volunteering! Couldn’t do it without you. • #dashingwhippets #movedme @nyrr @nycmarathon #nycmarathon #dropthehammer #marathon #marathoncountdown #running #instarunners #tapertime #marathonszn #race #racing #athlete #endurance #goals #bostonqualifier #bq #runnersofinstagram #runnyc
  • “As far as I see it running a marathon isn’t that complicated. We trained all summer and early fall for Sunday. Some of the runs sucked; some days we were tired; some days we were sick; some days every bone in our bodies hurt. I like to recall the good and bad days during the tough miles on Sunday. Push through and accomplish what you can with what you have. Don’t wait ‘til Monday.” - Words of wisdom from @itsswo , our first veteran in our continuing spotlight on Rookies & Veterans for the 2018 #tcsnycmarathon 💪 • WHY RUN NYC? It’s my hometown marathon. I wasn’t planning on running in 2018, but after having some FOMO and with a lil convincing, I decided to run my 4th #nycm • RACE GOAL 2:45-2:50 • TRAINING I’m injury free and feel strong during this taper. I did a lot of workouts and LRs solo this cycle, but also got in some workouts with fellow whippets @jessicachichester @allfunandjames @ericbuscarino and LRs with @philipwyoung and @dgg1991 Special 🗣 to @timchi12 aka #brochester and DWRT coach @chris40runs for their guidance. • WHAT’S ON YOUR 🏃 🎧? I don’t listen to music while I run. I do listen to music before runs and my favorites right now include “Electric Relaxation” by #atribecalledquest ; “Icky Thump” by #thewhitestripes and “Nonstop and Mob Ties” by @champagnepapi • FILL IN THE BLANK Taper is... boring. All the work is done, and I can’t wait for race day. After the race, I am most looking forward to... seeing how well everyone else ran. ➕ 🍺🍕🍔 • #veteranstatus #seasoned4marathonszn #movedme @nyrr @nycmarathon #nycmarathon #dashingwhippets #dropthehammer #marathon #marathoncountdown #running #instarunners #tapertime #marathonszn #rookiesandvets #willrunforbeer #willrunforpizza #race #racing #athlete #endurance #goals
