Healthy Kidney 10K Course Map + Elevation Chart

9, Apr 2009

There’s no course map for the Healthy Kidney 10K posted on the New York Road Runners website, so I took the liberty of mapping out the course myself.

You can also find it at: http://www.walkjogrun.net/routes/current_route.cfm?rid=8D90BE53-E945-875A-DC1EB6F292A818B5&success=1

But that’s not all, I used the data from www.walkjogrun.net to graph the elevation profile in excel (loser). Whatever, it should be helpful for race strategy.

Where To Run in NYC

25, Mar 2009

I’ve been running on the treadmill a lot lately, for two reasons. 1) It’s winter. 2) It’s easier on the old joints.

But the springtime is approaching and it’s time to get back outdoors (gradually, I know). I love running outside in Manhattan, but I would argue that your choices are fairly limited…

Option 1 – Central Park

This is the most obvious way to get your run on in NYC. The loop is actually somewhat tricky to follow, so you can either enter the park and run around until you find your way out (which is how I learned)… or you can do your homework beforehand and memorize the twists and turns. Here are some great maps:
