Training Run

Selected By: Matthew

Uploaded by: Rich H

We are going to start doing training runs on the East River and meet at the track in East River Park east of the FDR at East 6th Street. This will give us the flexibility to do speed workouts or distance runs up the East River or over the bridges.

An example of a typical workout would be a one mile warmup, 4-6 mile repeats at the pace determined here: http://www.mcmillanru... with a 3 minute rest, and a one mile cooldown. I will post the workout a few days before each Thursday so everyone can figure out their pace.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Since we didn't have a workout last week because of the Armory meet and didn't have one two weeks ago because of snow on the track, we'll do what we were supposed to do two weeks ago: 800/300 (or substitute 600/200 if you want to do something shorter). Run the 800 at 10k pace, float at long run pace for 100, then sprint the final 300. Jog 400 to rest and do between 6 and 8 repeats.

As usual, if you'd like to drop your stuff off before the run, you can come by my office (Meetup HQ) at 632 Broadway, 10th Floor between Bleecker and Broadway. Just give me a heads up if you're coming by. We'll be leaving at 6:45pm on the dot!

Steph! Our office is only about a 1.5 miles down the street on broadway from the HQ so once it gets nicer out (April) we can jog up there together! :)

Huge turnout for our biggest Thursday speed workout yet. Did 6 800/100/300's at a 10k pace of 7:00mm. http://conn... Afterwards we headed to Mary Ann's for some fatty burritos.

Great turnout, but I dropped out after 3 repeats due to an Achilles' injury. Really hope it doesn't flare up on Sunday.
