Hey Everybody,
Let’s meet up before the Scotland Run on Saturday at 8:30 AM. We’ll meet in the usual spot – down on the L train platform at Bedford by the cop-in-a-box booth and head to the race together. The race doesn’t start until 10 and the weather is supposed to be the exact opposite of last year (which was rainy and freezing). Should be a fun one! Here’s the map of the course. It’s the hard way around the loop but the hills are over early.
I know some folks are planning on running back to Brooklyn after if anyone is interested. See you then!

Here’s the plan for where we’re meeting to head up to the Coogan’s 5K this Sunday…
It’s a hike up to Washington Heights, and in order to best compromise not too crazy early of a wake-up call, but still getting to the start
in good time…
Meet on the Bedford L platform by the cop-in-the-box at 7:15am!
The train leaves at 7:20am! Be on it!
We’ll take it and transfer to the A, getting us to 168th St. (a block
away from the Armory) around 8:08am, giving us a few minutes to drop
off bags, do a little warming up, etc. before getting into the corrals
before they close (8:45/8:50).
[If you want to get there a little earlier, I would recommend the
6:50am L train, which will get you up there around 7:50am. ]
Excited for our first club points race of the year! It’s going to be a
blast.

FYI: There are still spots open in this race and you can register in
person at NYRR or on race day. Race day registration/number pickup is
at the Armory (@ 168th St.) ends at 8:30am! If you can pick up your
number (or have someone do it for you), etc. before Sunday, it is
highly recommended.

Hey Everyone!
Come on out to the Tuesday night run at 7:30pm.
Tonight we’re doing a “Social Relay”.
After a warm-up on the track, we’ll split up into two mixed-pace teams (start brainstorming awesome team names now!). We’ll head to the inner asphalt loop of the big lawn part of McCarren and do the workout on that circuit. One team will run at a comfortable group pace while the second team runs at a hard pace around the loop. Once the entire second team catches up with the first team, the first team takes off and runs at a hard pace to then catch up with the second team. And so on, for approximately 40 minutes, which should gets us to 4-5 miles. Then we’ll do a cool down at the track. Fun!
Things to bring: Nothing if you don’t want. At least 1 person in each group should have a watch, I’ll have one, so really, we only need one more. If someone has a Garmin, I’d love to know the distance we cover on that inner loop. One circuit is just under .5 miles.
Misha and I are going to do our best to post the Tuesday night workouts ahead of time so you can be prepared and appropriately psyched! Also, since some of our workouts are more involved in explanation, this might give you a head start.
See you tonight!
