How do the training sessions work with people of varying ability levels? I would like to do training runs between races and to improve my running time in general but not sure if these training runs are geared towards the fast runners?

Hey Olivia, it all depends on who comes. A lot of people post what they plan on running (distance and pace) before the run so you can get a sense on if you'll have a few people at your same pace. There usually is a pretty good mix.

Anyone up for running 5-6 miles at a 8-8:30 pace?

Mark, I was thinking about outerloop at 8-8:30 pace tomorrow.

P.S. I got that same pop up for the Facebook Connection I was telling you and Patrick about last night.

I'm going to try to run 9-9:30 pace.

Mark and Pam -- I'll run with you guys at 8:00-:30 around the park.

I haven't been since we changed the time for this run.. are some still going to NYSC to store stuff? or is it just NYRR? I'll be storing in NYSC since I need to change from work anyway, but curious what the general consensus / trend is now.

Hey Charlotte. It's half and half. People like me will still need people like you to check their heavy, heavy bag for them at NYSC. ;-)

Mark, Pam & Rich... I'll join as well for the full loop.

Charlotte's back? Awesome! Oh, wait... JENNIE's BACK!?!?! Even AWESOMERRRR!

52 degrees tonight? pinch me now, i must be dreaming. annemarie -- i should be there at 6:30pm to check in your bag if needed.

Will you be at rathbones after?

do you have to be a nyrr member to use the lockers there?

Technically you do, alex, but they don't check. You will need your own lock though. Also, they want people to pick stuff up by 7:45 so it's somewhat limiting.

I could use some locker assistance too. Who is meeting where to help with bags?

Thanks Scott for the warm welcome back! :)

I'll be at NYSC and happy to take bags. If folks have extra locks, that will help.

Thanks for the info Matt. I will be at nyrr by 6:10-6:15 with a lock, if you need bag assistance mark.

Hey Alex, just a heads up: the NYRR lockers are pretty small; a foot cube at best. Don't expect to fit too much stuff in them. And some of them are broken - you can put a lock on, but they won't actually lock. If you're traveling light, it works. I think Matt locks up his valuables and leaves anything else that doesn't fit on the side.

I'll be @ NYSC @ 6:00 if anyone needs a bag check

Thanks for the info Ben. I am going to be traveling light so I think I will be fine, I hope..And if it doesn't all fit I will just do what Matt does.

Alejandra made reservations for Rathbones for tonight. Hopefully we'll all fit. Biggest Tuesday training run ever!

I will be at NYSC after 6 if anyone needs a bag check.
