We asked 2,112 TCS New York City Marathon runners what really happens when the marathon starts marathon-ing — aka mile 20 — aka “the wall.”
Turns out, plenty of us felt prepared. Plenty of us still hit the wall.
54% started faster than planned, 71% felt prepared but 83% still hit the wall, amongst others.
Your turn: What happens at your mile 20?
