Virtual New Balance 5th Avenue Mile Guided Run with Jenny Simpson

Join Olympic medalist and Rising New York Road Runners Ambassador & Special Advisor Jenny Simpson on a one-mile run as she participates in the Virtual New Balance 5th Avenue Mile. Jenny has won the 5th Avenue Mile a record eight times, and this year she’s going to guide you through your own race.

Watch and listen to Jenny before your run, or listen to her along the way as she provides tips on your pace, form, breathing, and positive thinking! Jenny will be running her race at an eight-minute pace, but you can take it at whatever pace is comfortable for you; what’s important is that you get out and finish your mile.

You can run with Jenny by watching the video below:

...or you can take the run with you on the go with this audio-only version!
