Our Tuesday night Central Park training workouts are typically tempo runs or hill repeats. These workouts are usually very well attended with a wide variety of paces.
The meeting spot is inside the Time Warner Center in front of the main floor escalators leading to Whole Foods. (Do not go down the escalator into Whole Foods.) Transportation and directions:

We will leave the Time Warner Center atrium at 7pm sharp but will regroup at 7:15ish at 72nd transverse to give the full workout details, including distance, pacing groups, expected run time, and where we plan on meeting at the end. You can expect a typical workout to be between 5 and 8 miles (or less during hill workouts).
If it's your first time meeting us, find us at the Time Warner Center atrium instead of looking for us at the 72nd transverse. It's much easier to link up with us at 7:00 at the TWC if you don't know what our group looks like -- there are many other groups who meet on 72nd St.
Please note that there is no place to store bags inside Central Park. Pack light, or store your bags at a nearby gym if you are a member. Another option is the New York Running Company at the Time Warner Center, which stays open until 9pm: http://www.therunningcompany.net/new-yorks-homepage
When you RSVP, please post your pace time and/or training run distance for the day.
Anyone else planning on an easy 4 tomorrow? If I'm alone, I may try to take advantage of the potential afternoon sunshine...

Recommended workout for March 19: 1 mile warmup, then...
BOSTON and NEW JERSEY marathoners: 2-3 repeats of 3 miles at marathon pace, with a half mile recovery after each (vary the pace of the recovery to increase the challenge). Finish with 1 easy mile to cool down.
SCOTLAND 10K and BROOKLYN HALF competitors: 7-9 x 400m uphill at 10K pace. Aim for a good volume at 10K speed, not faster but fewer. Walk-jog back downhill to recover, and finish with 1 easy mile to cool down.
OPTION FOR RUNNERS BUILDING A BASE (not much recent speedwork): 4-6 x 400m uphill at 15K pace, walk-jog backdownhill to recover and add a 1-mile cooldown.
