train with us

 

format

Each 90-Minute Session Includes:

  • Warmup (dynamic stretching, jogging, form drills, short accelerations)

  • Structured Run (at a ratio of approximately one coach to five runners)

  • Cooldown (jogging)

  • Strength, Flexibility, and Relaxation

The workout will be either an interval-training speed session or an endurance-enhancing tempo run. (See below for when and where each workout type is offered.)

locations

We meet in some of the best parks in NYC (or anywhere else). Central Park’s 840 acres are world-famous, but even the locals often don’t know about its many miles of beautiful bridle paths or our infernally steep namesake, the Great Hill. The Bronx’s Van Cortlandt Park is home to perhaps the country’s most prestigious cross-country course, and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park boasts the longest uninterrupted grass field in any American park.

See specific times and locations below.

“I love running with Great Hill. The workouts are well-organized, appropriately challenging, and accommodating for runners of all abilities. It’s also a very welcoming and friendly group.”
