Post-Run Social: Yancy’s Saloon 734 Irving St

From Coach Toby:

First off, a huge round of applause for conquering our Stanyan St hill repeats and to those who showcased their running prowess in this weekend’s races. A special shoutout also goes to all the dedicated volunteers who made Sunday’s Sasquatch Racing Rattlesnake Ramble trail race a slithering success! 🐍

This time around, we’re dialing down the intensity with a scenic out and back run to Ocean Beach, where we’ll aim to catch the sunset… weather gods willing. With its mix of non-technical dirt trails and paved paths, this wildcard has become a Run Club favorite.

For those who prefer a shorter jaunt or wish to keep their sneakers sand-free, I’ve crafted a ‘Not Quite The Beach’ 4-miler as an equally fulfilling option.

Pre-Run

I’ll briefly delve into trail running essentials, from mastering foot placement to refining your downhill technique. And no fret if you do not have trail shoes—your reliable road runners will suffice just fine for this one.

See & Be Seen

Keep shining bright with your reflective gear and headlamps. Though the days are getting longer, we’re not quite “out of the dark” yet.

See you Tuesday, wildcarders!
