PROJECTED PACING
We start towards the back of the 10:20AM wave of 10,000+ runners, so estimating when exactly we will start is the tricky part. We probably won’t actually cross the starting line until 10:25ish.

LYNN
Lynn and Alex met in 2020, when both got hooked on running during Covid. Like Alex, Lynn ran her first marathon solo in November 2020. She planned to celebrate her 50th birthday with a sub-four-hour finish at the 2021 NYC Marathon in her official debut, but after a summer of terrific training runs with Alex and her Osprey teammates, she was sidelined with a major hip injury five weeks before race day.
After a long and careful rehab, Lynn was able to resume easy running the following summer, and she completed the 2022 NYC Marathon in 4:27:26 (on the hottest NYC Marathon day in recent memory). Injuries again derailed 2023 and 2024, while frustration mounted. Alex pledged that when Lynn was ready, the duo would work together to conquer her goal. This 3:59 quest has been years in the making!
JACKIE
Jackie and Alex met as volunteers at West Side Campaign Against Hunger, where Alex was known as “that runner guy.” When Jackie got the urge to scratch “marathon” off of her bucket list, she knew she could reach out to Alex for advice. Jackie had a successful 2024 NYC Marathon, finishing in 4:19:55.
She originally thought her marathon career would be “one-and-done” but the 2024 experience gave Jackie the desire to return to the scene of the crime and race for a sub-four-hour finish. Alex helped secure Jackie a charity bib for the 2025 Marathon (fundraising for WSCAH) and devised a training plan. When we realized that Jackie would be in the same starting corral as Lynn, we knew the pace team was fated to be!
