Ken is doing 100 meter sprints. The warm temperture is ideal for short, fast sprinting which develops all-out speed, strength, and form efficiency.
This is a short video of my typical warm up routine before doing full-body strength training geared specifically to make me a more balanced, efficient, and faster runner.
This is short video I made of a final tune-up workout before Nationals of two of the fastest High School runners in New York City and the country.
Running in NYC during the summer months usually means New York City Marathon prep training; base-training; and as always - speed and form work. With this video, we primarily used it to analysis and help correct some form concerns that Josh was having.

With the appropriate apparel, running in the winter is easy and a pleasure. Don't let chilly temps keep you away, visit a proper running store to get the right gear and get out there and start enjoying the outdoors all year long.
Central Park is fertile training ground for running. Carefully measured, inspirational locations, help with the getting most of out of our workouts.
In this video, high school freshman and rising New York City miler, Ali, is working on her "top-end" running speed doing near all out 200 meter and 300 meter repetition sprints. Excellent for building speed and speed endurance which will improve her mile racing time and her fitness for lacrosse.

Changing speeds during an interval running workout can help build race ready fitness in a manageable, less destructive way than just straight up hard, fast intervals. Lactate Threshold (high-end AEROBIC pace) 1200 meter intervals tire the legs sufficiently - mimicking racing fatigue without being abusive, followed by some shorter, faster intervals 300 meter / 200 meter / 100 meter sprints, challenging the body the same way as the end of the race.

This is exciting news as he's one our favorite runners, a NY native, and capable of pushing Geb and Meb. I'd look to see him come out of Times Square with the lead pack. (If there still is one)
New York, NYC - The New Yord Road Runners announced yesterday that 'Geb' is returning for another NYC 1/2 marathon this March. NYRR president and CEO, Mary Wittenberg, proudly announced “Haile is a superstar, a legendary champion, and an ambassador for the sport, and we continue to be amazed by him. To have him back for the second time for the NYC Half-Marathon is a great thrill and a win for this quickly growing event.” Indeed, as it's very rare for Geb to come to the US to race, having him take part in the newly revamped NYC 1/2, is a big score for the NYRR. As usual, the course is designed to celebrate New York City, as the NYC Half-Marathon will take runners on a loop through Central Park, down Seventh Avenue through Times Square, across 42nd Street, and along the expansive West Side Highway to Battery Park in the heart of the city’s financial district, finishing with a view of the Statue of Liberty.
