From Coach Toby……

Hey Run Club family,

Speedplay in the park (and ice cream) was cute but, now the hills want their turn.

But first, a quick reflection. I’ve been thinking about how much this group shows up – for yourselves and for each other. Your consistency, your energy, and the way you support one another have really shaped this season. Tuesday nights have become something we all look forward to, and that’s because of you. I hope you’re feeling stronger, more dialed in, and ready to take on whatever our wildcard runs throw at us, and maybe even a few new challenges of your own..

Thanks so much for showing up and being part of this crew. It really means a lot.

A big shoutout to everyone who raced over the weekend. Well done. If you raced, make sure to let us know at wildcard so we can give you the cheers you deserve.

And if you’re looking to get more hills in or just want a Friday morning reset, don’t forget about our Slacker Hill runs. It’s a great way to start the day and take in some incredible views with friends.

Read on for this week’s workout…

This week: hills. Ready to conquer one or two?

Twin Top Tuesday 5M: Challenge yourself with a scenic 5-miler that takes you to the top of both Tank Hill and Corona Heights. Get ready for heart-pumping climbs and some of the best views in the city.

Twin Top Tuesday Lite 4M: Looking for something a little more mellow? This 4-mile route still takes in the beauty of Corona Heights but with a slightly gentler approach.

It’s Taco Tuesday. Join us post-run at Underdog Tres to celebrate recent race accomplishments and just to enjoy each other’s company. Good food, good people, and good vibes. 

What’s coming up. In just a few weeks, we’ll wrap the wildcard season with a run and celebration at Foghorn Taproom Divisadero. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, April 29—this one’s going to be fun. I’m also hosting Run Club at Taft Street Winery on Sunday, June 8 for a run and team social in wine country. Don’t forget to sign up for summer season!

Cheers and see you soon.

Toby
