Week 13
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters, As marathon day draws nearer, expect to continue receiving lots of information from Coach Tiffany and me! I'll start below with more information about the Marathon Health and Wellness Expo, where you'll pick up your race bib: MARATHON EXPO DETAILS As always, every runner must attend the TCS New York City Marathon Health and Wellness Expo to pick up his/her own bib. Photo ID is required - no one else will be able to pick your bib up for you. The expo is located at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, Hall 3B, at Eleventh Avenue and West 36th Street (Map), and features more than 100 vendors and exhibitors. Highly recommend you set aside some time to explore (and score some free samples). Operating hours are below:
Thurs, November 3
10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Fri, November 4
10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Sat, November 5
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
TUESDAY TEAM RUN, NIKE RUN, & CROSS TRAINING
Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). If you are interested in free indoor rowing classes with EngineRm, please contact me for more information. Finally, we also have a free ride code for first-time riders with SWERVE.
MARATHON JAM
This week's jam is "Running Down a Dream" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Can't beat Tom Petty.
WEEK 13 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY
It's back again! Marathon pace week! This is the last marathon training pace workout, so let's take advantage. As noted before, it's important that you practice everything you would do leading up to and during the marathon these last few weeks. Start with a balanced meal 2-3 hours before your run. Plan to take your first GU or gel 40-45 minutes into the run, then every 30-45 minutes after. This is a range and you may find that you need to take in calories every 30 minutes, or that might be too much and you prefer every 45 minutes. You won't know for sure unless you practice!
If you prefer to take a gel before you run or race, then you must take it within 5 minutes of starting (no earlier!). Always take gels with water, not gatorade.
Tonight's workout is a long one! This is an 8 mile continuous run. 1 mile easy, 3 miles at marathon pace, 1 mile at threshold pace, 3 miles at marathon pace. The goal is to run focused. Visualize your race, it's marathon day. Imagine yourself clicking through miles with calm and ease. We will throw in a faster mile to stress the body and then resume marathon pace. Imagine the last 3 miles of the marathon during the end of the workout. Visualization is a great tool for athletes to help mentally prepare for a race.
This weekend is the last really long run! Most of you are scheduled for 18. I encourage everyone to do a minimum of 16 miles. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
SEE YOU TONIGHT!
Mackenzie
Week 12
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters, Just over 30 days left until the greatest Sunday in New York City. We are so impressed by your grit, dedication, and fundraising abilities -- you've raised $95,000 for New Yorkers living in poverty!! Incredible! ACTION REQUIRED: TEAM ROBIN HOOD RACE SHIRTS HAVE ARRIVED! Your official Robin Hood race shirts and swag have arrived at our offices in the Union Square area. Please fill out this form by Friday, October 7 to schedule a pick up. If you live outside of the NYC area, I will mail yours to you with a tracking number within the next two weeks. Otherwise, it must be picked up in person. TUESDAY TEAM RUN, SATURDAYS WITH NIKE, & ENGINERM ROWING Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). If you are interested in free indoor rowing classes with EngineRm, please contact me for more information. MARATHON JAM This week's jam is a good alt-rock jam by Jimmy Eat World: The Middle. Remember that a great way to fundraise and add to your marathon playlist is to request songs from friends and family when they donate! This way, you'll get to your fundraising goal faster, have help in building your race playlist, AND will think of each person when their song comes on. WEEK 12 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY Tonight's workout is a 1 mile warm-up followed by 3 miles at threshold pace. Threshold pace is 'comfortably hard' or the pace you could hold for 1 hour. We will finish the workout with 4 hill sprints at Cat Hill. This burst of speed at the end of the workout will force you to keep working your already tired legs. The purpose is to learn to work through fatigue and build strength. Looking forward, you will have the longest run of the program next weekend (10/15). If you are racing a half marathon, good luck! Please send me your results at [email protected] as it will be the best indicator of how the marathon will go. SEE YOU TONIGHT! Mackenzie

MARATHON JAM
This week’s jam is another from resident Robin Hood DJ Bonnie: Earth, Wind and Fire’s September.
WEEK 11 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY
We did short reps and hill repeats early in the plan to improve speed and economy. Tonight, we return to 200 repeats in a similar workout. This session is more about maintaining that work as your body begins to endure longer mileage. The workout will be fast and fun!
1 mile warm up
4-6 200's at repetition pace with 200 meter jog recovery
1 mile easy
4-6 200's at repetition pace with 200 meter jog recovery
1 mile cool down
This weekend, run easy for 15-16 miles. We are finally getting some of that cooler fall weather. Be sure to continue your hydration and fueling plan during your runs so you have it fine-tuned by the marathon. SEE YOU TONIGHT! Mackenzie Questions? Reach me at (212) 844-4503 or [email protected].
Week 10
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters! The final registration deadline has passed, you’re all good to go, and I’m thrilled to report that we currently have 96 runners on Team Robin Hood 2016! At this point, some of you may be starting to feel a bit of pain or the emergence of an old injury - PLEASE contact Coach Tiffany for advice on how to manage and prevent further problems. She and I are both here to help, and to make sure you cross that finish line!! REMEMBER: THIS IS WHY WE RUN We know how hard you all are training, and how difficult these weeks have been. For an extra dose of inspiration, please take a few minutes to check out this Humans of New York story about Jessie Garcia, one of our Robin Hood Heroes with an amazing story to tell. As ever, we are so immensely thankful for everything that you are doing for Robin Hood and your neighbors in need. You guys are absolute rock stars. FREE CROSS TRAINING CLASSES: INDOOR ROWING Thanks to the generosity of the folks at EngineRm, all Team Robin Hood runners will receive 5 free rowing classes! In order to activate the offer, you must attend a 101 clinic. We will have our very own dedicated clinic on Wednesday, September 28 at 6:15pm - please RSVP to me as soon as possible. TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). MARATHON JAM In honor of that guy in recent news who thought he was actually in an online relationship with Katy Perry (and because this song is pretty inspirational) this week's Marathon Jam is her 2013 hit "Roar". WEEK 10 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY Back to 800 meter intervals this week! I think many of you enjoyed this workout last time. Find a nice flat stretch of road to get the work in at interval pace and take 2-3 minutes of rest between each 800. These repeats should be run hard, but not all out running by any means. Usually at a pace you could maintain for 10-15 minutes before stopping. The purpose of 800 repeats is to increase your aerobic power or VO2max. We only have 7 weeks until the marathon! It's getting closer :) Check in with yourself on how you are doing. Are you consistent with your runs? Your diet? Sleep? Stretching/foam rolling routine? If you are off once in a while, it's not going to hurt you, but if you are inconsistent with any one item on the list, it will have a negative impact on the quality of your runs. Evaluate how you are doing and make any necessary adjustments. Please reach out to Tiffany if you need guidance! SEE YOU TONIGHT! Mackenzie
Week 9 - You’re halfway there!
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters! Congratulations - you've all made it to the halfway mark!! Meanwhile, New York City students have returned to their classrooms. That also means that the Robin Hood education team is busy reviewing last year’s investments in schools (public, transfer, charter, parochial and independent), after-school and summer programs and organizations that ensure students receive the supports they need to learn. Why does Robin Hood invest in education? Because research shows that a high school diploma provides the single largest boost to adult earnings of any of the educational factors we track—at least $6,500 per year. In 2015, Robin Hood served 55,000 New York City school children and educated more than 10,000 teachers, improving learning for hundreds of thousands of children. You will allow us to do even better in the future. REMINDER: UPCOMING EVENTS We have our first long run coming up this Sunday - hope to see you there! Leave your bags at home, as there will be no bag check for the weekend long runs. Remember to mark your calendars and join us on the following dates:
September 18 at 8:00am: meet at the Maine Monument meeting spot; this will be a Threshold workout within the park. No bag check.
September 26 at 6:30pm: come to the Robin Hood offices for an Unplugged conversation about our relief efforts in New York City after the tragedies of September 11th and Hurricane Sandy (RSVP to me, please!)
October 2 at 8:00am: meet at the Maine Monument meeting spot; this will be an easy long run (15 - 16 miles). No bag check.
October 26 at 6:30pm: Team Robin Hood Pasta Party at Parm Battery Park (bring a plus one!)
October 30 at 8:00am (UPDATED DATE): meet at 1st Avenue and 60th Street for a "Final 10 Miles of the Marathon" route. No bag check.
Tiffany and I will send around turn-by-turn directions for the later two runs as we get closer. Hope you're able to make it to several of the above!
TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE
Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!).
MARATHON JAM
This week's Jam is Come With Me Now by Kongos, a catchy hit from recently in 2014. A fun fact: members of the band say that the song is heavily influenced by kwaito music, which is described as being a blend of South African jazz, township pop, and Western house music.
WEEK 9 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY
With only 8 weeks to go, longer tempos and mileage become more important. This week we have a marathon pace workout and a threshold tempo workout. Tuesday's run should be a continuous run, 1 mile easy, 3 miles at marathon pace, 1 mile at threshold pace, 2 miles at marathon pace and 1 mile easy. Think of it as a very long tempo with a faster mile thrown in the middle. This faster segment in the middle will challenge you to switch gears up and then back down just slightly. The extra stress on the body will help you handle challenges later in the race.
Our weekend workout is a standard threshold tempo workout, 2 x 2 miles at threshold pace with an extra long warm-up and cool-down. I encourage everyone to practice everything you would do leading up to and during the marathon on these quality sessions. Start with a balanced meal 2-4 hours before practice. Your first gel should be taken 40-45 minutes into the workout, and then every 30 minutes after. Experiment now! You may find that this is too many gels, too often, or not enough. Everyone is different. (GU is a good brand that tends to test better clinically.)
If you have nutrition questions, here are some tips from Alicia Shay for the day before a race, during the race, and after the race. Looking forward to seeing you all twice this week!
SEE YOU TONIGHT!
Mackenzie
Week 8
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters,
Welcome to September! With Labor Day behind us, it’s time to put your nose to the grindstone. You are just nine weeks away from your five-borough tour! The arrival of September also means sending out your second round of asks for support. The time is now; your friends, family and co-workers are back from summer travels.
TONIGHT'S RUN: RAIN IN THE FORECAST
Despite the forecasted rain, we will still be running tonight in Central Park. Please consider leaving your bags behind if possible, or packing them inside plastic trash bags to keep them dry. We will still meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there - it'll be good practice in case it rains on Marathon Day!
REMEMBER TO REGISTER WITH NYRR!
If you have not yet done so, make it official and register for the marathon with New York Road Runners by September 15. Each of you should have received an email from NYRR with an invitation to “join” Team Robin Hood. Follow your unique link to the NYRR online portal, and follow step-by-step directions before making your registration payment. When you register, be sure to choose your:
Transportation – All Team Robin Hood members are invited to take the team bus leaving midtown Manhattan at 5:30am on race day. If you do NOT plan to take the bus, select a ferry transportation boarding time and email [email protected] with the title “MARATHON BUS”.
Baggage – All runners will be assigned to the “Bag-Check” option. The alternate “No Baggage” option has reached capacity at this time. When you pick up your bib at the Marathon Expo in November, you’ll receive a UPS bag and a sticker with your race number; the bag will be large enough to hold shoes, warm clothing, and small personal items. You’ll check the bag, with sticker affixed, at the start OR you may just choose not to check the bag at all. Regardless, all runners will exit through the “Bag-Check” exits after the race. Please let me know if you have any questions.
You will receive your bib number directly from NYRR one month before the race. In the meantime, let us know if you have questions.
MARATHON JAM
In honor of Hurricane Hermine allowing us a beautiful weekend around here instead of pelting us with rain and wind, this week's jam is Beautiful Day by U2. Channel the sunshine with this song when the rain hits us today!
WEEK 8 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY
This week and next, we will focus on running threshold and marathon pace workouts to improve your endurance. Everyone should aim to run a minimum total of 30 miles this week. As we enter the middle portion of training, it is more important than ever to commit to getting the miles in, sleep well, eat right and hydrate often.
Tonight's workout starts with a 1 mile warmup, followed by 4 mile repeats at threshold pace with 1 minute rest, and ending with a 1 mile cooldown. Here is a fun video explaining threshold pace. On the weekend, run 7-10 mile of your long run at a marathon pace.
SEE YOU TONIGHT!
Mackenzie
Questions? Reach me at (212) 844-4503 or [email protected].
Week 7
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters!
It's time for another BIG THANK YOU!!! Your commitment, both athletically and philanthropically, is truly remarkable. Robin Hood is here to help you prepare for November 6 and we will be at Mile 20 to cheer you on to the finish line. And, because our board covers all operating costs, every dollar you raise goes directly to the New Yorkers who need it most.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE
To date, Team Robin Hood has raised $31,512 (!!!) to fight poverty in New York City! Leading the charge is Naureen M. who has raised $5,392 to date. After Labor Day is your time to re-ask those who have yet to give. Remember that you need to ask three times and thank twice. As folks return from summer vacations, they will appreciate your reminder. Consider including your recent training achievement or one of the Robin Hood videos found on our website. Last year, one of our runners “sold” naming opportunities on his race shirt. Think of other incentives for your donors and incorporate the poverty statistics we provided for your use.
WEEKEND LONG RUNS WITH COACH TIFFANY
Remember to mark your calendars and join us on the following dates for long runs:
September 18 at 8:00am: meet at the Maine Monument meeting spot; this will be a Threshold workout within the park.
October 2 at 8:00am: meet at the Maine Monument meeting spot; this will be an easy long run (15 - 16 miles).
October 23 at 8:00am: meet at 1st Avenue and 60th Street for a "Final 10 Miles of the Marathon" route.
Tiffany and I will send around turn-by-turn directions for the later two runs as we get closer. Hope you're able to make it!
TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE
Coach Tiffany is back! Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Tiffany can answer any questions you have. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!).
MARATHON JAM
Because she stole the show at Sunday's night's VMA Awards, this week's Jam goes to Beyonce and her Video of the Year, "Formation". Highly recommend you check it out if you haven't seen it yet (but watch out for some explicit language).
WEEK 7 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY
This week we are focusing on a new training intensity - VO2 Max Intervals! What does that mean exactly? Workouts at interval pace will help generate more aerobic power and improve your VO2 max or your maximal oxygen consumption. Here is a video explanation.
We start with the usual 1.5 mile warm-up, then 4-6 800 meter repeats with 3 minutes rest between each one. 800 meters is equivalent to a 1/2 mile. End with an easy cool-down and foam rolling.
Intervals are hard, but not all-out running. Usually this is a pace you could maintain for 10-15 minutes in a serious race. For most of you, this will be slightly faster than 5k pace. Let Tiffany know if you have any questions at [email protected].
SEE YOU TONIGHT!

It is one of the most beloved races in the world, but the New York City Marathon isn't without its challenges. Here's a detailed look at how to navigate the course and finish strong.
Week 6
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters! Isn't this weather incredible? Come take full advantage and join us in Central Park for the team run tonight! CROWDRISE PAGES For those of you who haven’t set up your Crowdrise fundraising pages yet, please make that a priority this week. For instructions on how to set up your page, click here. Remember, the more you can personalize this page with pictures and your own text, the better! If you need any additional help with your page set up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m more than happy to walk you through it step by step. PLANNING YOUR RACE WEEK Many of you will be traveling from out of town, out of state, or even out of your country to come to the marathon. Make sure to plan accordingly to ensure you are able to pick up your bib at the Marathon Expo that takes place November 3, 4 and 5. There are also several events and mini-races taking place prior to and after Marathon Day, including an Opening Ceremony, a tour of the marathon route by motorcoach, and race-day Grandstand seats for your loved ones - click here for tickets and more information. TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park. The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. Coach Gary will be leading tonight, and can answer any questions you have. Hope you can join! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). MARATHON JAM This week's jam is brought to you by Robin Hood's very own DJ Bonnie. She'll be out there mixing it up for you guys at Mile 20 on November 6, and suggests you add "Water Fountain" to your running playlist. Bonnie says, "It's a world beat number by Brooklyn’s own tUnE-yArDs. This can be a great warm up song, or just an all out running song to inspire that cultural NY vibe… Hope you’re staying hydrated! Keep up the training and we will keep the jams coming." WEEK 6 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY More threshold miles this week! These tempo miles make up the bulk of training and will help you become stronger runners over longer distances. After a 1-2 miles warm-up, we will run 3-4 miles at T pace with 2 minutes rest in-between. End the workout with 1-2 miles easy to cool-down. The point of this workout is to run the next mile before you fully recover from the first. The rest is short (2 minutes or less). Stay focused on the workout, and don't take too much rest! Follow the T miles with a couple uphill sprints, recovering on the downhill. Any questions, please email me at [email protected]. SEE YOU TONIGHT! Mackenzie Questions? Reach me at (212) 844-4503 or [email protected].
The wisdom imparted through running doesn’t always come while pounding the pavement.
Week 5 - You’ve made it through one month!
Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters! Welcome to your second month of training - you've got this!! With the marathon getting closer, we bet you might have a friend or two asking about running with you on Team Robin Hood. We still have a handful of slots remaining, so please reach out to me if you know of someone who might be interested! FUNDRAISING AND MATCHING GIFTS As you send out your fundraising e-mails and direct friends and family to your Crowdrise page, please let me know how I can be helpful. You can monitor gifts in real-time as they come in through Crowdrise, and I will be adding gifts that come in offline (checks, etc.) directly to your page. Remember, many companies will match employees' giving – make sure you remind your supporters of this as it will count toward your fundraising total and can make an impressive dent! TEAM ROBIN HOOD TRAINING TANKS: DUE TOMORROW Remember to purchase your training tank before the order closes tomorrow. There are no size Mediums available in the navy color, so I've made a white tank as well. Please follow this link to purchase a navy tank, and this link to purchase a white tank. TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park (I'll send an update later today if we have to cancel due to thunderstorms). The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll warm up and get running right at 7:00pm. I have a work conflict and unfortunately won't be able to make it tonight, but will be sending fellow Robin Hooder Julius in my place. Coach Tiffany will be leading, and can answer any questions you have. Hope you can join! On Saturday mornings, do your long run with Nike. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). MARATHON JAM This week's jam is Pompeii by Bastille, mainly because it's so hot out there it feels like we could be experiencing something volcanic ourselves. If you have any tracks you love and want to share with the group, feel free to send them my way! WEEK 5 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY As we continue to train through this heat wave, please be cautious to take care of yourself. Hydrate throughout the day and during workouts. If you are struggling to get through your run, try to break it up into two runs, one in the morning, one in the evening. Try to get on a treadmill in the A/C. Wait until the next day if it might be cooler. Take walk breaks and be sure to carry cash/metro card on you just in case you need it. Expect to run slower than you normally would (30 seconds to 1 minute). This week's workout will focus more on threshold miles or "comfortably hard" pace. Start with 1-2 miles warm-up, then 2 miles at T pace. Your goal should be to run even splits and keep that breathing under control! You should not be able to hold a conversation, but you should feel like you can still maintain your pace for about 1 hour. After a few minutes rest, you have another mile (or 2!) at threshold pace before a 1-2 mile cool-down. As we get into the middle of our training, you will start to see longer and longer runs. While one specific run will not make or break your race, it is important to keep pushing your long runs bit by bit to build up endurance. Also, since a few of you have asked, here are some great nutrition tips. HAPPY RUNNING & STAY HYDRATED! Mackenzie Questions? Reach me at (212) 844-4503 or [email protected].

Happy Tuesday, Runners and Volunteer Poverty-Fighters! In need of inspiration to keep you going during this vacation-filled month? Check out this YouTube video for a glimpse of what you will experience on November 6. I also recommend reading A Race Like No Other: 26.2 Miles Through the Streets of New York (there’s even a mention of Robin Hood’s Mile 20 Block Party!). Use your “off days” to prepare yourself mentally for your upcoming feat. TEAM ROBIN HOOD TRAINING TANKS Thank you to all who expressed interest in purchasing a Training Tank! There are no size Mediums available in the navy color, so I've made a white tank as well. Please follow this link to purchase a navy tank, and this link to purchase a white tank. The orders will close next Wednesday, August 17. The shipment will arrive at Robin Hood in the first week of September, and I'll plan to distribute at the team run, find a good time for you to pick yours up, or mail it if you're one of our out-of-towners! RUNNING GROUPS BY BOROUGH In addition to the tanks, many of you have also asked about other Team Robin Hooders living near you. If you'd be interested in running with your racemates outside of the Tuesday evening runs, please go ahead and enter your info on this spreadsheet (divided by borough) by this Sunday, August 14. From there, I'll get your groups started on an email chain so you can schedule some workouts. TUESDAY TEAM RUN & SATURDAYS WITH NIKE Please join us tonight for our team run in Central Park - Coach Tiffany is back!! The group will meet at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle at 6:50pm, where we’ll stretch out and get running right at 7. My cell number is 203-273-7290 - give me a call if you’re having trouble finding the group. Hope to see you there! On Saturday mornings, join Nike for long runs. Create a Nike+ account and RSVP via the Nike website. Meet at NikeTown on 57th and 5th (location occasionally varies, be sure to check the website!). MARATHON JAM This week, we're changing it up from the pop remixes of the past couple weeks, and sending you "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit. It's catchy and hilarious and one of those stand-outs you remember if you ever played Rock Band. WEEK 4 - GUIDANCE FROM COACH TIFFANY We have a really fun and challenging workout planned Tuesday - HILLS!!! Hills are a great way to improve speed and economy. We will start with a 1 mile warm-up, then run hard up Strawberry Fields Hill and recover on the downhill. The goal of the workout is to run up strong and with good form and continuously run throughout the workout. Saturday is a long run with the first half at easy pace, and the second half at marathon pace. By ended the run at a slightly stronger pace, you will be teaching your body to stay strong in the last miles of the marathon. If you are running in the city this weekend, I recommend checking out Summer Streets. There are only 2 more weekends left! SEE YOU TONIGHT! Mackenzie Questions?

Week 3 Team Robin Hood run in Central Park - thanks to all who came out! See you next Tuesday at the Maine Monument at 6:50pm.
