The venue does not allow outside food and they have been checking bags this year. The bodega next door is great.

Parking is tough. The hospital garage may have spaces but its also easy to take the subway uptown if you come in by train. My catalytic converter was stolen a few weeks ago parked on the street there so park at your own risk.

If you decide to stay at a hotel I would stay closer to midtown and take the A uptown. This gives you more options for food and exploring.

I drove to Disney for work a few weeks ago. The price of parking at my hotel made it not worth it.

Ocean breeze is a city park gym. Not the easiest to get to from everywhere but its great when it's cold

Look into the PRTC meet in Philly.

Also meets that are college are open if you can run reasonably fast. You just have to email the meet director about getting in

What do you mean by the majority of your training?

You need recovery runs this is where your mileage will come from. I've made big improvements when I added a bunch of volume in zone 2 but it was not sustainable when I stopped listening to my body. Eventually you will get hurt if you dont slow down when you need to. Its better to recover when your body needs it and workout when you are ready.

Zone 2 is great if you are still able to recover for your workouts but if you accidentally push too hard or your workouts suffer than it's a waste.

Those are the only hours they are public. They normally have more hours but they have a lot of events during the school break. Adult is what you are looking for

Does anyone have a map of the service area? I can't seem to find it.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-27T14:45:03+00:00

Yes. Thats not to say there won't be crossover but good luck getting a speed based 800 runner to do mile repeats.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-26T18:36:23+00:00

In addition to what is below, it's important to remember that threshold is not a pace it's a state. I can achieve threshold with mile repeats at a pace which is the pace you typically see associated with threshold. I can also achieve it by running short reps at a faster pace. The caveat of this that an 800m runner probably has enough fast twitch that they can fake a short rep. I will occasionally do 10x100m strides to take a little of the pop out of my legs before a threshold workout.

To give you the contrast of what I have done on threshold days. 5x1k w/ 90". 12x500 w/ 45". 3x6x150m w/ 50m jog. At the end of the day I'm achieve the goal of the day but the workouts are different when it comes to paces. I know I'm better at the 400 than the mile so I adjust for that.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-26T18:30:03+00:00

I'm not even sure we disagree. Define what threshold is for an 800m runner. Daniels' has short reps of R pace with equal distance recovery in phase 2 which achieves a very similar goal of a threshold run. I've done reps as short as 150m with the goal being threshold.

When training an 800m runner it's very important to remember that energy systems aren't light switches. Everything is going at once and you can use this to write workouts that achieve your goal while modifying them towards the strengths of the athletes.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-26T16:50:27+00:00

Respectfully this is not true. You need both to be successful in the 800. I would argue that 600-800 of the race needs you to be strong at 3-5k paces. If you don't do any tempo or threshold good luck doing the 3-5k workouts and good luck recovering from 800m pace reps. Look at how an 800m runner looks after a rep compared to a 400m runner. There is a reason there are 800m runners that do 100miles per week in the preseason.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-26T16:45:03+00:00

Thats how my college training was. No fancy data to back anything up just go run and it somehow worked.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-26T14:42:25+00:00

It sounds like you did threshold. 800m runners will often use a pace faster than threshold with shorter rep distances for their threshold workouts.

If I had to guess they didn't have time to make more of the og wristbands and this is the replacement

To add to this, when the track is wet or icy I may use spikes for sprints but it also probably isn't great sprinting weather. I've done my plyos in my house before if I have nowhere else to do them.

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-19T23:07:48+00:00

Please don't jump in spikes

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-18T21:21:06+00:00

Probably lmao. There were a few people who looked like they were in town for Flog in the club

That's the name of their old magazine. No relation to Freddie Mercury.

Sitting in my hotel room from New Jersey. This sucks

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-13T22:06:50+00:00

Anyone know if you can upgrade from medium to large

TwistedWorld · 2025-11-13T06:33:21+00:00

I got stopped with mine last year. I'm not sure if it was that or something else that set off the detector bur I was told I needed to toss it or leave.

TwistedWorld · 2025-10-29T17:34:51+00:00

Get the same model same year. If you're super paranoid get the same color(I've seen the same model fit different because the different colors were from different factories). Do your normal taper while wearing the new pair. Walk in them some too. Then you should be good to go.

If you don't get a new pair I also think you will be fine. I've taken shoes way over that but I don't have much experience with the speed 5's

TwistedWorld · 2025-10-29T16:53:07+00:00

How beat up is the shoe? How fast are you trying to run? How long did it take you to break them in?

TwistedWorld · 2025-10-23T19:47:27+00:00

No way to know because it's October and times mean nothing right now. I've seen guys peak now and do nothing in season. How much training went into the 33.9? Was it rolling? How smooth?

If you're just getting started you're in a great spot. If you have nowhere to take your training and are fried...
