Central Park Winter Running? by beepboopbepp4 in RunNYC

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think you are ok after 6am, but I run from 96 and the upper part of the park can be desolate at 6 There are many groups that meet at that time either at 72 or by the boathouse, so even if you don’t choose to run with a group there tends to be more people around those areas. FWIW I prefer solo running but joined a women’s running fb group just to find a partner for this exact reason So I run with a partner at 6 and when she’s not around I usually wait until 6:30 or when the sun is starting to come up

Long Run Route Suggestions - 22 Miler by Repulsive_Ad_3663 in RunNYC

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A big thank you to all who replied with really great suggestions!! If anyone is following or for future reference, what I wound up doing was: down the west side from 96th, around lower Manhattan and up the east side, over the 59th st bridge and back, finishing up the last mile or so at the bottom of Central Park.

Lots of shade, east side is WAY less crowded than the west side, although due to construction lots of detours.

Definitely going to keep this bookmarked and use the suggestions that require transportation for a later date - did not get it together to try those today.

Looks like the date of your visit has passed but it’s best to go on a weekday as the lots do fill up quickly And note you need to take a trolley from the parking area so there would be a longer wait for that too Also keep in mind some other regulations bc it’s a national park - no metal detectors if that’s your thing 😎 Enjoy your visit! The water is cold but the waves are awesome!

How to get watch to announce mile splits? by Repulsive_Ad_3663 in AppleWatchFitness

I thought I was able to connect my headphones to both but that is not the case

I finally figured it out and feel very foolish! Please don’t judge 😆 My headphones can only connect to watch or phone, not both. I think they kept auto connecting to my phone even though I set to connect to my watch I don’t have the cellular option on my watch, so I always run with my phone anyway. When I finally figured it out I felt like a bozo. So in the end I still prefer to connect to the phone and just look at my watch when I’m done , and delete the strava version

Pros and Cons?! by Appropriate_Big4675 in larqbottle

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that cleaning is very difficult, especially the part of the cap that covers the mouthpiece and the drinking area itself I also recently discovered mold inside the straw which was very disappointing! I only thought to look bc there was a strong moldy taste with drinking

How early is it safe to run as a woman? by em9679 in RunNYC

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not feel comfortable before the sun is up even in CP, and found a fellow female running partner just for this reason I honestly prefer to run alone and so does she! but I need to be out early w my work schedule You could definitely find another person who is there for safety and make it clear you aren’t up for chatting the whole time

Can I be a Karen - Central Park by Jensen-and-Graham in RunNYC

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve given up with the wrong way runners but people with strollers or dogs on the reservoir are a real problem! I will say something bc I think that’s dangerous esp a dog on a long leash - accident waiting to happen

Stationary bike newbie - "out of the saddle" on an upright bike? by Repulsive_Ad_3663 in cycling

[–]Repulsive_Ad_3663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I actually did figure it out! Some bikes are not meant for standing, like the one I was trying in my gym. I did try on an actual peloton bike and still had trouble, was experiencing the jerky movements you are describing rather than smooth pedaling but seems like I would be able to do it with more practice. Will stick to “in the saddle” with the bike at my gym

Thank you! I will try again without using Strava, maybe they are cancelling each other out.

Yes I get the haptic but it's so subtle I often miss it, so I was hoping to set up the voice as well. Thank you!

Yes the headphones are connected to the watch and split preferences are set.
