From Coach Toby……

You all have been absolutely crushing it this season. Let’s keep it going! This week we’re hitting three SF peaks—Tank Hill, Mount Olympus, and Corona Heights. Big views, some solid climbs, and a good challenge all around. We’ll wrap it up with a cool down lap around Kezar Stadium, the original home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Hill Workout Tips

Mind your pace. Start easy so you’ve got energy for the whole run.

Mind your form. Short, quick steps and a slight forward lean on the ascent (think easy gear on a bike). On the way down, stay relaxed, lean slightly forward, and avoid overstriding.

Mind your mindset. Hills build strength and endurance. Stay patient, stay confident, and take each climb one step at a time.

Post-run social: It’s Taco Tuesday. Head over to Underdog Tres 1224 9th Ave for their specials and to hang out with the crew.
