I had actually been to that page just before coming here, but there's so many so I was coming here in the hope that someone could guide me to an appropriate one.
hmm...I can tell you about the Central Park TC - around 300 people of all levels from 4:10 milers to 5 hour marathoners. Not the most social club - focused mostly on actual running for better or worse.
Workouts are tuesdays at 7 pm and thursdays at 7. No organized weekend runs, but people group up informally. There is a sprint coach, a track coach and a road coach.
Pretty solid workouts but nothing collegiately sophisticated - they get the job done. things like 10 x 400 on the track and 8 mile progression runs on teh roads.
Tuesdays are track nights - winter at the armory and otherwise at the 6th street track. Thursdays are year round at the daniel webster statue in CP - 72nd on the west side.
I don't know much about the other teams - one of the best things about the CPTC is the coaching and the size of the team - there is always a big group at your pace.
