The NY Flyers’ Spring SpeedPass programs are accessible to runners of all levels, whether you’re training for fitness, to stay connected to the club socially, or a half or full marathon goal this season.

Practices

Members gather between 6:30-6:40 pm at the Maine Monument in Columbus Circle. Runners will depart from there to the park at 6:40 pm but if you're late we'll always let you know where to meet us in the park. Bag check is available (free) across the street on the second floor of the Time Warner Center at the Fleet Feet running store.

All athletes train with their assigned group (broken down by fitness level) but at individualized paces prescribed on their training calendar. Practices typically finish (around 7:45 pm) with some strength and mobility exercises.

Workouts

All participants receive two Quality Sessions per week (e.g. one speed workout and one long run). The first Quality Session is a coached group workout and the second is a suggested workout.

All workouts are published to each participant’s V.O2 calendar, which includes the ability to manage your training on the mobile app, website and/or a PDF copy. V.O2 also syncs with GPS so you can easily manage your prescribed workouts and actual splits.

Coaching Support

Participants can email SpeedPass coaches at any time for questions or updates to their workouts.
