Tuesday Marina Run (10/27/15)

You will be logging between 2-5 miles depending upon your training level. The link below should give you a relatively clear sense of where we're going. I've also included a verbal description beneath it:

TUESDAY'S RUN COURSE!

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE-

In short, we will head NORTH from the Marina Green Monkey Bars on along Marina Boulevard until we reach the intersection of Mason/Halleck. Look for a RC2 in chalk on the ground. This is 1 MILE! Beginners will turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 2 MILES!

Everyone else will continue running on the paved path along Mason past Sports Basement. Shortly after we pass Sports Basement, there is a lengthy straight stretch and a funny looking metal power box on your RIGHT. There will also be a RC3 in chalk on the ground. This is 1.5 MILES. Intermediate runners will turn around and head back to the monkey bars for 3 MILES!

Advanced and Race level runners will continue past the 1.5 mile mark along the paved path. Eventually the path curves over to the right and merges with a dirt/fire road that heads towards the Warming Hut (for the uninitiated, the Warming Hut is A BIG WHITE BUILDING WITH TABLES AND BENCHES IN FRONT OF IT. Hopefully, it will be hard to miss). The Warming Hut is 2 MILES! Advanced level runners will turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 4 MILES!

Race level runners will continue running past the Warming Hut on the paved path towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Continue until you reach the base of the bridge and Hopper Hands. Turn around here and head back to the monkey bars for 5 MILES!

Saturday Long Run (4-7 Miles) 01/23/16

We'll get things rolling with an easy 1/2 mile (approx) warmup run to Julius Kahn Park from A Runner's Mind (3575 Sacramento St). 

We'll do some range of motion drills in the park before starting the run.
