Tyler McCandless says he is in the best shape of his life as he gets set to run the TCS New York City Marathon
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be racing the TCS New York City Marathon on November 3rd!
Not only do I feel that I’m in the best shape of my life beginning this training cycle, I’m fueled with more inspiration and motivation than ever thanks to my incredibly supportive and encouraging wife Kristin McCandless, and our sweet baby Levi.

Follow my journey to NYC in a few months, filled with 100+ mile weeks, dirty diapers, publishing scientific research and (hopefully) inspiring you on the way to get out and pursue your dreams too.
