We currently do workouts on the East River and meet at the track in East River Park east of the FDR at East 6th Street.

We will be doing the prescribed Thursday workout in the 10k program as seen here:

http://files.meetup.c...

10k runners should select a program within the 10k program and marathoners should do the Intermediate Stamina program. The track is a great place to do a workout or to run a few easy miles so don't be intimidated (you don't have to do speedwork if you've never done it before).

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hey all, I just updated the Thursday workout to reflect that we are doing the Thursday part of the 10k program. Marathoners can do the Intermediate Stamina selection. Let us know if you have any questions!

This week, the beginner running schedule calls for a total of 3 to 4.5 miles with drills. Intermediate runners will do 400 meter repeats at half marathon, 10k, or speed pace. If you need help finding which pace you should do, please ask Scott or me!

Hi Scott and all, I am so sorry I was not at the cube when you were there. I got off the subway and went down E. 8th, which turned in St. Marks and couldn't find the cube. And then I called Jim because my phone was almost dead to see if he could find your cell phone number, and then he posted a message. I turned around and went back towards Astor Place, and found the cube, and that point it was 7:10 and at that my phone died, so I decided to head home because I didn't know the way to the park.

Sorry you missed the workout, Liz! Here is a map of the cube if anyone needs to find it in the future. I'm sure Scott would be happy to share contact info too.. http://tinyurl.com/astorcube

Hey, Liz, sorry we missed you! I also heard from Emily that the subway lines were a little out of wack, which made things even more complicated. Anyway, I'll post my phone number in future meetup events. Can you come out to Prospect Park on Sunday morning for a nice easy run? http://www.dashingwhippets.org/calendar/13406026/
