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?

Meet Our Mentor Spotlight, Bill! 🎉

My running journey began about 20 years ago as I was looking for a way to keep fit. After an internet search, I signed up for a Fleet Feet running program. Not knowing anyone, I was nervous and intimidated. After the first workout, this was exactly what I needed and was looking for. The program stressed this group was not a “me vs them” mentality. It was an “us, we are in this together” group. Everyone was there to travel their own journey with the complete support of the entire group.

After 2 years of being a participant, I felt sharing my experiences and encouraging others was a way to give back to the running community. This led to becoming a mentor and after 15 years, I have not looked back. Being part of Fleet Feet has brought me such joy in encouraging participants that as a runner you can accomplish so much more than you think. Providing the confidence goes along with the physical training. In addition, friendship have been made with so many people over the years. There is an instant bond runners have because our journeys are different, yet the struggles are shared and embraced.

As for anyone considering whether to join the program, it can change your life. Many people say, “I cannot run.” My response is you definitely can and this program will help you with your journey and you will be successful. Do not compare yourself to others. Your journey is the most important one for you. As a mentor, I will help you achieve your goal. Just remember that it will be hard, but you are strong and will support your success.

In retirement, my hobby is visiting other Fleet Feet stores as I travel. As of today, 42 stores have been visited. At each store, questions are asked about the running programs offered. Most have programs, some do not and one reason is that there is not a safe place to run. That saddened me. The Syracuse, NY running community is one of the best in the country. Often I shared with others that what we have should never be overlooked. Embrace the tough workouts, share the success with friends and just keep running.

Athlete Spotlight 🎉

Maura joined the Fleet Feet Distance Program in July of 2025, after some changes to her work life. Her mind was set on completing her first marathon but she really didn't know all of the training it would require. She had hired a coach but quickly realized she needed a village, as they say, to help her along the way. She desired a group setting to help the longer miles go by faster.

Her journey with running actually started well before the distance program. Maura started with the Fleet Feet Couch to 5k program back in 2008 after her boss, Rosemarie Nelson (director of The Mountain Goat), urged her to do so. From there, she has been a participant as well as a Fleet Feet Mentor Coach for Personal Best and the Fleet Feet Tri program.

When asked what her favorite part of the program was, Maura stated "That’s easy - the coaches, they are amazing and also the support of the other athletes is priceless." With the encouragement of Mentor Coach Della and the Fleet Feet Training program as her guide, Maura achieved her goal of completing her first Marathon at the 50th Anniversary of the Marine Corps Marathon last fall.

Maura believes that she has been "changed for the better" by the program. Her advice to any new runner is "simply trust the training". She is certainly trusting her training and never misses a day of practice. She shows up with a smile and a positive attitude ready to tackle whatever Coach Jen throws her way. Maura is currently getting ready to tackle her second marathon at W**e Glass this October. We can't wait to send her positive vibes and listen to stories about her experience on our next run!

Athlete Spotlight! 🎉

Gabrielle started with the Fleet Feet No Boundaries 10k program when she first moved to Syracuse. Being new to the area, it was a great way to meet people. Her career forced running to take a back seat for a bit but post-covid she wanted to get back outside. Gabrielle joined the Fleet Feet Distance Program to fight the desire to hibernate through our tough winters. She committed to training for the Syracuse half and, had such a great experience, she signed up for a marathon that same fall.

Gabrielle said she enjoyed Fleet Feet’s structured approach to training which has helped her achieve her goals. She stated, “Before Fleet Feet, I had no concept of an easy run. Every run just felt like it should be hard. Having a variety of runs that all have a purpose has made me love running so much more.” Her favorite aspects of the distance program are the friendships made, the motivation and encouragement from the group members, and the knowledge/tips passed on from the coach/mentors.

Her favorite piece of advice for any runner would be, “to just show up and start. Sometimes it’s hard to get out the door for a run after a long day, but consistency has been crucial for me.” Running has helped Gabrielle to approach any challenges life throws at her with patience and the knowledge that consistency pays off.

She is certainly a perfect example of what consistency in running achieves. She is absolutely crushing her goals and headed back to Philly for another marathon.
