Jennifer Heiner is a retail director at a New Jersey running company. Working closely with the company's founders, Jennifer Heiner assists with the operation of three retail stores that furnish high-end performance apparel. This requires managing inventory control and hiring new associates during peak shopping periods. Additionally, she aids the company's business development initiatives, which include hosting multiple races each year. In this capacity, she offers coaching, race directing, and organizational assistance, from ensuring aid stations are stocked to securing winners' medals. Prior to her current position, Jennifer Heiner helped to coordinate foster families at a dog rescue in New Jersey. As part of her responsibilities, she worked to expand the organization’s impact by recruiting more foster families and volunteers. She also assisted in providing more than 100 dogs a month with foster homes by addressing immediate issues that might arise during the fostering experience. She prepared for her career by earning a bachelor’s degree in political science and ethics from Lehigh University. She earned multiple distinctions as a student, such as achieving the Faculty Invitational for Outstanding Scholars and membership in The National Scholars Honor Society.
Jennifer Heiner is an avid runner - she got into the sport after being a lifelong athlete without an outlet after organized sports in school were over. Now that COVID is waning and more and more races are being put on again, Jennifer has gotten involved with another NYC area running group, NYCRUNS, and is helping with race day events and customer service questions. 
Winter is upon us and we need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves while running in the cold and potentially snowy or icy conditions! NYRR recently published an article for cold-weather running tips.
https://www.nyrr.org/run/guidelines-and-procedures/cold-weather-running
Tips from NYRR's Medical Director, Dr. Stuart Weiss
Sub-freezing temperatures require some changes of plan for your regular runs and for racing. Following are some helpful tips for staying safe if it’s cold, damp, and/or windy out. With the right clothing and adequate precautions, even single-digit weather can be comfortable for runners.
Wear synthetic fabrics and layer your clothing. In the cold, keep most of your body covered. The fabric closest to your skin should be synthetic and preferably sweat-wicking and it should fit snugly. (Running tights are ideal for the waist down.) Your outermost layer should be wind-resistant and waterproof if it’s raining or snowing. Ideally, your clothing should be able to adapt as you warm up, or as the weather does: Unzipping a jacket, pushing up your sleeves (or removing arm warmers), rolling up the edges of a ski-style hat, and/or putting your gloves into a pocket will all keep you in the temperate zone as you get into your run—and they’re all reversible if it’s evening and you’re running into cooling temperatures. If you plan to race, it’s smart to test everything that you plan to wear in advance to make sure it’s warm enough and comfortable to race in.
Protect your face, head, and extremities. Wear a hat and gloves, preferably of synthetic, wicking material, and in extreme cold, use a face mask or scarf to cover your neck and face. Wind increases the effects of the cold; you may risk a mild form of frostbite called “frost nip” on unprotected areas if it’s near-freezing and windy. Apply a sweat-resistant sport moisturizer and lip balm for extra protection. Apply petroleum jelly to any spots prone to chafing or chapping.
For a race in the cold—and especially if it’s wet out—have a friend or family member meet you afterward with warm clothing, including dry socks, warm sweatpants, a long-sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt and/or jacket, gloves, and a warm hat. You’ll be very glad to have these things after you finish a race if the weather is near freezing. As an alternative, you can check a bag that includes these items.
Stay warm before the race. If it’s really cold, bring a discardable sweatshirt to wear after you’ve checked your bag. If rain is in the forecast, bring a large-size plastic trash bags with you to wear as a throwaway raincoat. A thorough warm-up jog will get you to the start ready to go.
As always, respect your limits. Cold temperatures restrict blood flow, which can cause muscles to contract and even cramp. You may feel stiff and tight, especially as you begin a run, and if you try to force the pace, you may damage a muscle. Adjust your pace to allow your body extra time to warm up.
Know the signs of hypothermia and frostbite. Hypothermia occurs when your body temperature falls below 95 degrees; symptoms can include confusion and uncontrollable shivering. Frostbite occurs when circulation is restricted in the extremities (fingers, toes, ears, and nose); symptoms can include feeling numb or turning white or blue. Pay attention to your body while you run and watch for these symptoms.
Don’t forget to drink. In cold weather, it’s easy—and unsafe—to overlook your fluid needs. Your body is still sweating, so replenish your fluids appropriately. The rule of thumb during exercise is to drink when you feel thirsty and no more than one cup (8 ounces) of fluid every 20 minutes. While racing in the cold, slow down a bit more than usual at drink stations to avoid spilling liquid on your gloves. In sub-freezing temperatures, the water in the cups can form a thin layer of ice at the top. Squeeze the cup slightly to break this layer, then drink.
Shorten your stride in snow, ice, sleet, or heavy rain. If there is snow, ice, or excessive water on the ground, shorten your stride slightly and pay attention to your footing and the runners around you to avoid accidents. Ice creates a much greater danger of a slip-and-fall, which can send you to the hospital with a broken bone. If you race in this kind of weather, don’t expect to run a personal best; instead, plan for a safe race.
Take care of yourself after your run.Get inside right away; although you’ll feel warm just after finishing, those wet clothes will chill quickly, and so will you. At a race, try to get out of your wet clothes and into your packed dry outfit after you reclaim your checked bag. Keep moving, and get inside as soon as you can.
Dr. Weiss also serves as the Medical Director for NYCRUNS and their NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon!

NYCRuns Central Park Half The weather was actually great for the race. That helped as we pounded out those nearly three laps of the Park and those hellacious Harlem Hills. Didn't push it too hard as I considered this a training run for the LA Marathon in two weeks. I definitely felt the areas that I need to work on. I also saw my buddy Kevin. He volunteered at the baggage checkin. Back to the Batcave, Robin! 13.25 miles / 58.10 MTD Fueled by @Maurten_official . . #marathontraining #maurten #BMRRagnarAmbassador #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #Aftershokz #raceeverything #wilrunsdc #blackmenrun #BlackMenRagnar #NYCRuns #CentralParkHalf #LAmarathon #UnitedNYCHalf #BMRRagnarTrailATL #bigsur #SMRF #ChiThirteenOne #SydneyRunningFestival #RunTheRace #StatenIslandHalf #Freepmarathon #runcayman #BMRRagnarTrailAZ (at Central Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B86_ui0H8yb/?igshid=1bq6m9azrmo6g

Celebrating your Marathon Accomplishments
A passionate running enthusiast in Teaneck, Jennifer Heiner formerly served as a retail director for a New Jersey running company. She currently is an inside sales rep for a small company in North Jersey. Outside of the professional arena, Jennifer Heiner belongs to multiple running organizations including the New York Flyers, the New York Road Runners, and NYCRUNS. Welcoming runners of all skill levels and abilities, these organizations regularly sponsor programs and initiatives to help members in areas that range from marathon training to coached speed work.
Whether its training for a Half Marathon or a full 26.2, these groups often have in-person or virtual training programs to get you ready for your big race. Jennifer Heiner herself has run a half dozen marathons, and countless Half Marathons and shorter races. While you typically aim to run one of these distance races in favorable terrain (not too hilly) the best place to train for these events is with some degree of difficulty. Therefore, Jennifer Heiner’s favorite place to train for her distance races is none other than Central Park in Manhattan.
Fall Marathon season is here, and the biggest of them all is coming up this Sunday, November 5th: The New York City Marathon. New York Road Runners recently posted to their team on Strava, highlighting the importance of celebrating your accomplishments on training and on race day.
Celebrating Your Hard Work
Congrats to everyone who completed their 2023 Virtual TCS New York City Marathon! We have loved reading your stories in this group and cheering on your fellow runners. If you’re looking for more ways to keep the race week fun going, check out these 10 tips.     1) Celebrate with a delicious meal! Your body needs food to fuel after a hard effort. And nothing is more fun than sharing the excitement by having a meal with friends and family.     2) Write a list of things you’re proud you accomplished in your race! Even if you didn’t hit your main goal, keep a journal of all the fun that happened on race day.     3) Post about your race on this Strava TCS New York City Marathon page and in NYRR Virtual Racing Facebook group!     4) Go on a “liking spree”—take 15 minutes to “like” and give your fellow runners encouraging comments on Strava and Facebook about their workouts.   5) Remember to tune in to or come out to cheer on all the runners racing the TCS New York City Marathon in-person on November 5.    6) Treat yourself to some soft-tissue work. If you can’t get in to see a physical therapist or massage therapist, make time for your own mobility work. A little foam rolling goes a long way!     7) Rest days are the best days. Remember to take time in the weeks after your race to recover. Don’t feel you have to hop right back into the next goal.     8) Take a walk, do some yoga—anything gentle. Non-stressful movement will give your body and mind a chance to relax.     9) Remember to check your results on NYRR’s website. You can check your results here: https://results.nyrr.org/home    10) Get excited for your next virtual race! From November 18 to November 26 race the Virtual NYRR Run for Thanks 5K with us. More info here: https://www.nyrr.org/Races/VirtualNYRRRunforThanks5K    Good luck to everyone running in the virtual and in-person races this week!
