- Gradually increase your mileage by 10-15% each week.
- Include long runs in your training plan, and gradually increase the distance of your long runs.

- Listen to your body and take rest days when you need them.

If you're coming from out of town for the New York Marathon, you'll need to book your travel and accommodation well in advance.
There are many hotels in New York City, but prices can be high. Consider staying in a nearby borough, such as Queens or Brooklyn, where prices are more affordable.
You can also book a package deal through the New York Road Runners website.

On race day, be sure to arrive at the starting line early. There will be a lot of people, so it's important to give yourself plenty of time to get to your starting corral.
The race starts at 9:45am, and the course is closed to traffic. The finish line is in Central Park, and there will be a post-race party with food, drinks, and live music.
