# #WhereWeTrain #Part I #VanCortlandtPark # Named for the historic New York family for whose land the park rests on, this northern Bronx sanctuary has been a mecca for runners through many generations. It regularly hosts races from middle school dual meets to US Championships. # We come here for thresholds and tempos on the flat 2k+ cinder loop. The warm up starts on the leaf covered Putnam Trail and if we are feeling spicy, the back hills for a cool down. While I have raced up cemetery, I like to think of it as the spot where I got engaged instead. And when the workout is done, Lloyd's Carrot Cake is the best you'll ever have. # Going to show off all of the njnytc training grounds this week. I think we quietly have the best training situation in the country. See if you agree. #njnytc #hokaoneone #running #vcp #tracknation #crosscountry #run #xc #track #feeturesrunning (Photo: johntrautmann)
