I'm new to NYC and have been logging most of my mileage in Central Park. Rather than paying to join any official club, is anyone interested in getting together for some runs in CP?
In terms of pacing, hopefully if a critical mass of people are interested we could go out in a few groups to satisfy everyone's needs.
It'd just be nice to meet some other runners and enjoy running in a group a few times a week, without having to pay to be in an already established club.
any interest?
It really depends on what pace you run and when you can meet etc. More details are needed. I mean what is your avg. training pace etc?
And it really isn't that expensive to join a decent club in NYC.
Warren Street's dues are $0.
paces (roughly):
long run - 7:50
tempo - 6:40
easy run - 7:20 - 7:40
I usually run anywhere from 6-8 pm on weekdays and in the morning on weekends.
It really depends on if you're a girl and if you're hot or not.

LOL.
I'm pretty sure CPTC is the only club that has dues.

At those paces you should consider meeting the large group that accumulates at Niketown 6:30 M/W, and Saturdays at 9:30. The runs are free, as is the food that follows.

The group actually meets at New York Running Company in Columbus Circle on Mondays at 6:30, Niketown on Tues/Thurs at 6:30, Paragon Sports on Wednesdays at 6:30 for a track workout, and Niketown on Saturday at 9am. Great running group, entirely free, even a bag check and free food!! Definitely a lot of people in the pace range you give

Go to the New York City page and then to the clubs page. I forget which one, but one of them was a group that meets for trail runs. They car pool to some cool places. I believe it was no fee - just a bunch of runners looking to run in some places other than Central Park, which can get old after a while.
Also, there are some good running maps there too.
