Christy Turlington Burnssupermodel and maternal-health advocateis not just an avidrunnerandexerciser.
In fact, shes an experienced marathoner too.
This will be my ninth marathon and third NYC Marathon in 10 years, Turlington Burns proudly tells SELF.
The challenge feels especially apt for Turlington Burns, who refers to the common metaphor of marathon as childbirth.
Until I ran one, I didnt fully appreciate [it], she says.
Now I know all the similarities.
There are so many physical and emotional highs and lows.
you oughta train over months to prepare.
You need a support system and loved ones to cheer you on.
And it takes time to recover afterward.
After all, Turlington Burns says, Motherhood is the ultimate endurance sport.
In many ways, this race will be a homecoming for the model and activist.
Brooks Hyperion Tempo Sneakers

I love myBrooks Hyperion Temposhoes.
I have tried different styles and brands over the years and have come back to these time and again.
Theyre super lightweight and fit my long, narrow feet perfectly.
Its satisfying to see the change.
Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor
REI
This heart rate sensor is my go-to.
This was one of my early investments when I started running and its held up really well.
It has a wider belt and is super easy to adjust.
And because its mesh, I can see everything easily and dont need to dig for what I need.
I have had a hard time figuring out fueling myself during marathons over the years.
I dont like supersweet or caffeinated gels and goos.
These are easy to eat, taste good, and dont have a weird aftertaste.
My favorite flavor is the double chocolate and peanut butter chip.
My daughter is vegan and has opened my eyes to some delicious vegan options like these.
I recommend them to all my friends.
They are amazing and seem to really help keep my feet happy and healthy.
