HARRIER WEEKLY WORKOUTS

All Harriers and those wanting to learn more about the Harriers are invited to our workouts. The team offers 3 structured workouts a week: a Wednesday Night Speed Workout, a Friday Night Tempo Workout, and a Sunday Long Run. The workout program is for all runners at any level and is designed to provide a balanced program that any runner can jump into independent of their running goals. The most attended workout of the week is our Wednesday Night Speed Workout and is the cornerstone of our training program. The workout is run by Coach Kevin Horty and is customized each week based on the time of year, the Harrier Race Schedule, weather, and location. The Friday Night Tempo Workout and the Sunday Long Run are also well-attended and round out our running program. Additional details for each workout are provided below. Feel free to contact us for more details about the workouts at nyharriers@gmail.com.
