The CFA mile is a very flat stretch of paved road right next the Hudson. The only downside is that it is also next to a water treatment plant and the smell got to a lot of the candidates when we were running it. People were puking all over the place.
Oh yes it can be that bad. I ran a 5k two or three years ago in the June heat of Florida. At about the 1.5 mile mark, we ran past a Krispy Kreme. The scent was definitely vomit inducing.
Moral of the story, run past vomit-inducing places in preparation for SLS.... Haha it sounds pretty stupid out loud, but I understand it can be unpleasant in the moment
wow...ive never thrown up during a run. this will certainly be a great experience
Well - this thread has sure taken an interesting turn!
