Coached Workouts

Intervals, tempo runs, and track workouts designed by our very own Coach Mike. Workouts are available to dues-paying FRNY members only. If you’re not a member yet but are interested in workouts, join us at a Fun Run to learn more.

Tuesday Workouts

7:00am & 7:00pm | 3-8 miles | Training pace

Morning and evening sessions in Central Park focus on hills and distance intervals. Coach Mike and Coach Jen lead everyone through a mile warmup and dynamic stretching and then runners break up into smaller pace groups for the workout itself, followed by a cooldown.

Workouts are offered all year long and we run rain or shine! Workouts normally last 75-90 minutes. A bag check is also available.

Thursday Workouts

7:00pm | 3-8 miles | Training pace

Thursday workouts focus on shorter distance intervals and/or sprinting. Locations vary and may include Riverbank State Park, Central Park, East River Track, McCarren Park Track or Prospect Park in Brooklyn, or the Armory Track in Washington Heights.

On specified Thursday evenings during winter, FRNY offers interval workouts at the Armory Track. Coach Mike and Coach Jen will work with members to customize workouts and help members take full advantage of the training season. The Armory charges a fee to work out there, but FRNY usually subsidizes the cost to reduce the fee that members pay. We want all members to be able to participate in club activities regardless of financial ability, so we offer a Participation Fund to members who would otherwise be unable to participate. Email the Participation Fund Committee for more information.
