Save The Old Putnam Trail - Reponse
1 Reply
After the Saturday meeting, I dutifully sent an e-mail to the Parks Dept. urging them not to pave the Putnam Trail, and received the response below. Apparently, there will still be a 3' wide earthen…Continue

Dave Feinstein commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"I do have them. Probably won't be doing too much speedwork until June, though. I'm running the New Jersey Marathon on Sunday May 6. Hoping to qualify for Boston, hopefully with minutes to spare. This workout…"
Dave Feinstein commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"Sick workout, Lou. At first, I was thinking "hey, those are the times I do 800 intervals in" and then re-read your "30 sec rest." WOW.
I did some great speedwork today too, my first try at Yasso 800s in preparation…"
Dave Feinstein commented on Louis Csak's group 5th Avenue Mile, 2012"All right, less than 6 months to go! I'd recommend everyone sign up for this race, as it will motivate you to get faster. My goal is to break 5:15, or 30 seconds slower than Lou, whichever is faster!"
Dave Feinstein left a comment for Michael Oliva"Thanks Michael. Great meeting you guys too. I'll definitely check it out. See you on the trails!"
Dave Feinstein commented on Steven Park's group 5th Avenue Mile (2011)"Thanks for the personalized advice, Ken. Looking forward do doing these workouts while the rest of you guys are relaxing and basking in your NYC marathon times."
Dave Feinstein commented on Steven Park's group 5th Avenue Mile (2011)"Thanks, Ken. Yes, I've read about the Yasso 800s. Toying with doing that workout (10x800) next week, which would be 11 or 12 days before the marathon. Is that wise so soon before the race? At this point, I'm in…"
Dave Feinstein commented on Steven Park's group 5th Avenue Mile (2011)"Sub-3, Kevin? Based on my recent 6:52 pace 8 mile tempo run, I don't think sustaining that pace for another 18.2 is in the cards for me right now, but I am going to aim for 3:15 with the option of kicking it up a notch towards the end."
Dave Feinstein commented on Steven Park's group 5th Avenue Mile (2011)"Just did my last interval workout before running Philly in 2.5 weeks: 6x800, slow 400 recovery: 2:56, 2:55, 2:55, 2:55, 2:58, 2:53.
Good luck to all running New York on Sunday! I'd love to volunteer, but my sister in law's getting…"

Save The Putnam Trail
The purpose of this campaign is to get the Putnam Trail resurfaced with a stone dust instead of paved asphalt and reduce the proposed width from 16ft down to 8ft. Current NYC Parks Department plans will double the current width of the Putnam Trail from 8ft to 16ft! To gain a better perspective on this proposal, think of the fact that this trail will be wider than average lane on an interstate highway, which is 12ft. This will require the destruction of many trees and will have a detrimental…See More
Dave Feinstein commented on Steven Park's group 5th Avenue Mile (2011)"I'll be honest, I was thrilled with my race. My plan was to aim for 85 sec quarters and kick it up at the end if I had any juice left. Ended up doing my first quarter in 77, way too fast, so I consciously slowed down big time for…"

- How did you get into running?
- Ran casually for years, then signed up for the NYC marathon in 2010.
- Year's you've been running?
- For real, since July 2010
- What's your favorite race(s)?
- Philadelphia Marathon 2011. My first marathon, NYC 2010, was an amazing experience, but also very frustrating. In Philly, it was easy to get to the start, I was in a great corral, could run my pace from the get-go, and enjoyed the fan support while not minding the quiet portions of the course. Also, my friends and family could easily cheer me on near the finish, and there was no NYCM-style death march after the race. I'm a fan!
I'll add the Fifth Avenue Mile as an honorable mention. Such a fun event!
- Most memorable performance(s) and why?
- Time to change this section. New Jersey, though I just ran it yesterday at this writing. Great race, well executed, even splits, and a BQ+6 made for a fantastic experience.
- Running hero's?
- Big fan of Meb, who represented the U.S. proud in NY and still gives it his all. Also, a guy named Rob Watson, funny as hell Canadian who maintains a blog (leblogdurob.com) and engages the commenters, and has his eyes set on Rio.
- Why do you run?
- It's great outdoor exercise, fun, and I can do it whenever I get a spot of free time. Also, being a numbers guy, I love being able to quantify progress.
- What do you consider yourself, The Tortoise, or The Hare?
- Depends on the day!
- Future goals?
- Now that I've qualified for Boston, my goal is a sub 3. Feel I can do it.
- Any last words? Suggestions to the club admin?
- Ready to take it to the next level.

Great to meet you and Laurie the other night. Here is the link to that great trail book I was talking about.http://www.amazon.com/Walkable-Westchester-Jane-Daniels/dp/1880775573/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328070342&sr=8-1
It has a good map of those Sprain Ridge Trails near you which I was talking about among many other trails! Good luck with training and talk soon!

Yonkers Half, 9/18.
Hey VCTC, is anyone here running the Yonkers Half-Marathon on Sept. 18th? I'm thinking of running it, especially since the Bronx Half was canceled. The course seems challenging, but in a good way.
