Nike Running Clubs

well here something about Nike running club in the states.. Happen to been to 2 states chicago and New york, both have well oiled season running groups

The first one was in New york the nike town store is at the back of trump tower. And why is it call Nike town? well because its a sprawling 4 stories high store pack with all the latest Nike gear. The running club at that particular store, have a run every morning 9am from the store to around the central park, depending on how far you want to run theres a small map too.

The running club information counter is pack with interesting running guide books on where to have ur power juice and post run meals compiled by zagat. Unfortunate for me i did not join the run but i happened to be there to snap afew photos.. just look at the post run snacks...massive!

the next one is in Chicago, similar to the one in NY. This branch is along the magnificient mile or the shopping street. its not as large as the one in NY about 2 floors but well stocked. A few days before i got to Chicago i lost my Nike plus sensor luckily they sell it there at about 19 bucks. which was a good thing coz i dun think i find that in singapore.

I managed to join in for the run this time round. The store have a run every thurs at evening 6.30pm. the route as indicated in the map is along the lake front. On entering the store everone is suppose to register their name and contact. Then deposit the bags with the counter staff. I was also briefed to get the free nike 10k human race run t-shirt cool...There was a pre run briefing. There was some mentioning of the upcoming chicago marathon and training schedule. after which we all head out for the run in groups .. depending on ur pace, you can join the different pacer groups.. i joined the 9mins/mile group.

stretching was done outside the store before long we headed down to the lakefront. run was great sunny and breezy weather. Had chats with some of the guys in the run it was interesting . U turn was at the boat house, got some water point there. before heading back.

We were served with mineral water, bagels and banana.. yummy.. unfortunately i had no appetite but overall it was a great run would do it again if i go back to the states!
