The most helpful place to have spectators is after mile 20, the first 20 are easier than the last 6.2

A marathon course is always going to be long so be ready to run 26.5-27 miles instead of 26.2, use the mile markers on the course instead of watching ur watches gps

I always consume electrolytes before my run, I do a packet of LMNT in like a shot of water and take it like that so I don’t get sloshy, but it makes a world of difference to have those in you from the start
