Central Park Training Run

Selected By: Matthew

For our Tuesday night training runs, we meet at 86th and Fifth Avenue. If you're in need of bag check, you can use NYRR for bag check (closes at 8:00pm) or NYSC (at 86th and Lexington) if you're a member.

We will wait 5 minutes for Whippets before we start our run. We split into groups of similar pace and run loops of the reservoir or of Central Park depending on the desired workout (we now have pace leaders - see the RSVP list to make sure a pacer of your pace is coming). After our run, we will perform stretches at Engineers' Gate (90th St and East Drive).

After we've burned those calories, we usually go out for dinner and drinks, so please join us for that if you can!

Hill workout on 9/21 for anyone who wants to join me. 400s and 800s on the long steady hill in the northeast part of the park, next to the pool/ice rink.

Alexis & All -- I'm planning on doing 4-6 x 400 and 2-3 x 800 on the hill marked on this map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=...

For people who want to join me, meet at the usual spot (86th & 5th) at 7pm, or on the Central Park Roadway near 110th & 7th Ave at around 7:20.

hey marina, we should be back by 8pm, but if that's not the case, a few usually head back to nyrr to grab our bags and meet the rest of us at engineer's gate for our cooldown.

Thanks Scott for organizing the hill workout! We did 4x400m (some did 2x400m more) and 2x800m. Had Luciano, Russell, and Scott pulling me forward. We were almost the only group out there, besides some of those NYRR training groups.

Thanks, Scott. Another fine hill workout. This 'new' hill almost made me yearn for Cat Hill repeats ;-)

Great job everyone and thanks again, Scott. Very informative and a fitting workout for those of us doing Grete's Gallop. It was a confidence builder! Also nice to see new faces!
