Runurban SPEED AND FORM
Frequently Asked Questions
If I join for one night per week, can I come to any
UA training session I choose?
We ask that you pick a program and stick with the day you
choose. WE do allow you to make up sessions
by attending an alternate workout day. This is by special
request only. You can make these requests in an email to:
info@UrbanAthleticsNYC.com
Do I have to be fast to join?
Runners of all paces are welcome to join the program, as
long as you have been running approximately 10-15 miles
per week . Our program is unique, in that we treat each athlete as an individual. You will be placed in a pace group
with other runners who are similar to you, and not pushed
to run faster than what would be appropriate for you to
improve and benefit from the session.
Can I leave my bags somewhere while I'm running?
You may leave your bags in the stores for groups that
meet at a UA location. For the East Six Street track,
please note you are responsible for your own personal
belongings and should not bring any valuables with you
to the track.
How long do the session last?
Including the warm up and cool down, sessions last
approximately one hour. We leave to run promptly at the
start time. Arrive early if you need to change before the
workout
What happens if I know I can't make a few of the
sessions during the ten week period?
You are welcome to make up sessions at other session
days. To arrange for a make up session please email:
info@UrbanAthleticsNYC.com
What if I get injured and can't participate?
With a doctor's note we will refund you for any weeks
from the date on the doctor's letter forward. No
retroactive refunds will be given under any
circumstances.
