A solid full body resistance training routine is good, but in particular some heavy squats and deadlifts will help a lot with avoiding muscle imbalances and improving core strength and power. It doesn't have to be a lot to benefit from it.
Doing a kettlebell workout that consists of Get Ups and Swings a couple of days a week. Also doing a core workout a couple of days a week. IT Band is obviously an imbalance somewhere. So, I'm adding a specific workout for that area including exercises and stretches.

Just sucks arse to do speed work with dead legs
I know what you mean. I was doing a weekly leg day before switching up weight training programs a month ago. I was always sore as hell for 2-3 days after 5 X 5 deadlifts, back squats, and Bulgarian split squats. Now, I basically do 3 X 5 back squats twice a week and 1 X 5 deadlifts once a week on different days, and I don't get nearly as sore. I have actually increased my backsquat weight by 50% since switching up too.

Sounds good. There might be some form adjustments you could make too to help with that.

That will be good especially if you do the 5K the day before. Easy access to the start line for that.

Our hotel for 4 nights in Times Square was $1700 and that includes a free night. We spent more overall than I budgeted but I expected that. I used Southwest points for our flights so we had some money to spend.
Yes, it’s nice staying close enough to Central Park to walk back to the hotel but it’s not an absolute must. It’s just as easy to get on the subway at Columbus Circle and go either way.

Maybe I've miss-communicated my intentions. I'm racing this marathon to keep a rolling qualification for the majors.

Y'all boys ready for the Trialz this weekend? Could be bittersweet with the Olympics possibly being cancelled.

I am. We've got a JW pool I'm calling 2:12:50 and 13th place. I bet 1-10 finish within 2 minutes of each other. 2:08-09 with good weather wins it.

Will it be televised?
Should hit 30 miles this week!!

The 5K is just a nice little warmup jog to get pumped for the big day and to get a sight of the finish line (and recognition of the ridiculous up hill finish )

Damn, no love for Walms eh? ATL has more gain than I would’ve thought. Something like 1,800 total.

Unless it's all at once, it'll matter very little. Also, he's been reckless with his training and not focusing on what it takes to run a great marathon on the pavement. His best half is 1:04. 20 plus ran lower than that at Houston.
I have no doubt he's talented, but it's pretty obvious he isn't taking the trials very seriously.

Four miles in 30:48 on a treadmill. Ten planned for Saturday.
I have many questions for you running gurus.
When should I start hydrating and eating during runs? Occasionally I’ll stop and grab a swig of water at a water fountain I pass, but never unless it’s a long run. It’s never more than a quick little sip too. I’m hitting the double digit mark this weekend so I’m not sure what I need. At what point do you need to start eating those little energy gels? I don’t want to crap out.
My long run morning routine is (a) wake up whenever I do naturally, (b) have a large bowl of oatmeal with honey, (c) have one cup of coffee and drink a few large cups of water, (d) take a dump, (e) wait about 30 minutes, and (f) run. Is that normal? How should I try and do this on race day? Same as before?
Also, I don’t do warm up runs. I stretch and go. I should probably stretch better. I really just do the calves, a couple hammies, and then the glutes and move on. At what distance should I start doing warm up runs or jogs to get the ol’ blood flowing?
I think it was the heavy shirt I was wearing (it was cold), but on my last long run, I felt as if my nipples started to chap. What do y'all do to prevent that? I didn't experience that in the summer when I was running, but I was never running more than 6 miles.
I think that covers it for now. Thank y'all

Drink when you're thirsty. You shouldn't have to eat on a training run, at least not on your mileage. That's not a dis, I don't eat on any of my runs I'm not racing.

If it ain't broke...

Not really.

Weather specific running shirts. Don't want to eff with those? Waterproof surgical tape. Bandaids are expensive.

BRM covers it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Keep the same morning/pre-run routine for a race as you do for a long training run. My wife got me using Goo packs for half marathons, but I honestly don’t think I need them. There will be plenty of water stations to grab a shot of H2O if you want it during a race.
As for nips-anything past about 4-5 miles, I use this (after using a razor to remove hair from around the area):
I ran 6 yesterday in the wrong shirt with no tape and paid for it in the shower this morning.
Shaving and taping my nipples is something I thought I’d honestly never share publicly, but no one wants to end up like the Nard Dog.

I wish I had signed up for the Dash to the Finish last year. All people got was a beanie, but it looked fun.
I don't use nip guards unless I'm running beyond 13 miles. Bodyglide around the areas is enough. Beyond that distance I usually will put something over them.

Link to the waterproof running shirts? I usually run in cotton t-shirts but wanna look fly for the half marathon

Cotton is hell on skin. Get dry wick athletic wear. There are tons of brands and options. Just look for the dry wick logo in the athletic wear sections of any clothing store.
