Trail Running from New York City
  / strava  
1) Classic commute from Harlem 125 Str. to Peekskill, then maybe a mile on the streets and you are in the woods. Blue Mountain has a lot of wide trails, although there are a lot of rocks so trail shoes are recommended. If you choose the smaller trails it can become very slow and you got a lot of rocks.
2) This particular course (see Strava link above) is a bit of the latter type. Actually I did this run
3) One advantage of this course is that I managed to keep the entire 15-mile run inside this one park instead of spilling over to the Peekskill Briarcliff Trail, which is its logical continuation.
4) Humbling experience that particular day as it rained the night before, then the temperature went below freezing so the entire forest got covered in a layer of ice (see comments during video). I did not have crampons but only rubber cleats which did not save me from falling a number of times.
