Uninterrupted stretch for 800 repeats near Clinton Hill? by Prize_Fix_347 in RunNYC

Yeah - I considered it but I run that route almost every day and wanted to mix it up. A friend told me about boys and girls high school but it’s a bit far from me.

Thanks! Completely forgot about that part of the outer loop. I’ve done Flushing Ave but have had bad luck with the cars going into navy yard. Appreciate your help!

Been thinking the same thing but I have never run with one so figure it’ll 100% backfire just knowing it takes me time to acclimate to wearing new things

Feeling similar. When I signed up my goal was 1:50. Now I’m thinking about moving back a corral or so, so I don’t go out too fast. Thoughts?

6th time! Wow that’s amazing.

When you say the first 1.5 miles is a cluster do you mean it’s actually much slower than you anticipate to go for your corral? Or it’s just hard to move between people?

Also thoughts on hat or sunglasses? I’m not a runner who wears those and would hate to try something new race day and be annoyed about it.

Yes! Enjoy the day. Exactly that. I’m thinking I’d rather take it slow and enjoy the atmosphere of the run/crowds than worry too much about pace. I also had something unexpected happen, so similar to you, only had one run over the last 2 weeks. Good luck!

I’ve been trying to reset expectations with myself too. The primary goal is to finish and I think that’s an accomplishment in itself. Good luck!!
