From Coach Toby……
San Francisco’s greatest gift to runners? Hills without a doubt!
Cardio and strength combined, this week’s wildcard is accessible to runners of all levels and includes one of our favorite spots to watch an ocean sunset – Grandview Park.
You’ll have a choice of 2-4 hill repeats. We also plan to mark the route with chalk prior so keep an eye out for “RC” and directional arrows.
Looking forward to our time together. See you Tuesday!
