From Coach Toby….
Great job on last week’s tempo run. We had an amazing turnout with 60 runners showing up to support each other, and some of you achieved personal bests. Keep up the fantastic work.
This Tuesday, join us for a wildcard run to Alamo Square’s iconic Painted Ladies Victorian houses. We have two out-and-back options: a 4-mile and a 3-mile route along the Panhandle. The 3 miler is about as flat of a run as you’ll get in SF, while the 4 miler has a short (less than a quarter mile) climb. Both runs include an optional fartlek session. Fartlek is a fun way to mix up your pace and this one is suitable for runners of all levels and abilities.
Although I won’t be there (traveling with family for my nephew’s high school graduation), your captains and coaches will be on hand to explain fartlek running and guide you on how and where to incorporate it into your run. Enjoy the experience, have a great workout, and I’ll see you next week.
6:30 Meet-Up: 7th Ave and MLK Jr Drive (Golden Gate Park)
