As dawn broke over the iconic New York City skyline,  she couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement—the cocktail of emotions that Ana from @Ana_Runs_on_Coffee described as she boarded the bus to the marathon starting line. Clad in mylar blankets and loaded with carb-rich strategies, she joins us for a second episode to continue recounting the pre-marathon rituals that set the stage for 26.2 miles of urban adventure. Hear how her preparation unfolded into an orchestra of precision, emotion, and community spirit found only in the crowds of runners poised at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, ready to conquer the concrete jungle.The crowd's energy is an intangible yet potent force, and this episode captures the essence of that support alongside the critical topic of marathon fueling. With anecdotes of energy gels and the sweet taste of success (or sometimes, just too much sugar), Ana dissects the tightrope walk of maintaining energy levels without stomach upsets. Glimpse into the heartwarming tales of spectator ingenuity and discover how the cheers of strangers can propel you through the physical challenge and emotional highs of passing each mile marker.Post-race, the euphoria is palpable as we share the tales of her New York City Marathon experience, from the tear-streaked joy of crossing the finish line to the gastronomic bliss of a well-earned burger. Our journey concludes with brunch at Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe, a treasured photo by the mile 26 marker, and the comical mishaps of a much-needed coffee fix. Join us on this exhilarating tour of perseverance and celebration that encapsulates the marathon spirit, and perhaps you'll be inspired to lace up your running shoes for your next big race.Find out more about the New York City Marathon here:https://www.nyrr.org/tcsnycmarathon Get the Goodr glasses she wore at the 5K the day before her NYC Marathon Debut:https://goodr.com/products/breakfast-run-to-tiffanys Connect with Ana here:https://www.instagram.com/ana.runs.on.coffee  (@ana.runs.on.coffee)https://linktr.ee/Ana.Runs.On.CoffeeCheck out Ana’s food and beverage recommendations here:Tiffany’s Blue Box Cafehttps://blueboxcafenyc.comPHD Terrace:https://taogroup.com/venues/phd-terrace-new-york/menu/ Support the Show.THAT’S A WRAP!
