Beat the long, cold prospect of outdoor running all winter and the conveyor belt monotony of treadmills by joining Front Runners every Tuesday and Thursday at the Armory.
From November to April, FRNY members train at the New Balance Armory Track Center up at West 168th Street and Fort Washington Avenue (just 1 block from the A, C and 1 subway stop) in Washington Heights area of Manhattan. The track is world-class and several indoor track records have taken place there. Our track workouts are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Coach Kelsey Louie designs the appropriate workouts depending on each member's goals (i.e. future points race, spring Marathon, upcoming track meet, etc.)
After the workout, depleted runners gather for a quick chow and pitchers of ale at a local restaurant (most likely Coogan's).
If interested, please read the weekly gram. Around October or November of each year, Coach Kelsey normally holds a meeting to discuss the training in more detail. All runners who participate will need to pay an additional membership fee to the Track Center (either a seasonal fee or pay-as-you-go fee.) Every member who wishes to improve his/her running is speed is encouraged to attend.
