For most of her life, Molly Huddle had a fairly simple routine before the start of a race.
Huddle, an elite runner, would pack a bag, eat a pre-race meal, do some drills and get to the start line.
She knew what she was doing: Huddle is a two-time Olympian and former American record-holder in the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and half marathon.
“I never thought I’d think about breastfeeding as much as I do now,” said Huddle, who finished third in her New York City Marathon debut in 2016.
For the second year in a row, new mothers — two top American elite marathoners among them — will be starting the New York City Marathon with something new speckled along the course: lactation stations.
