Before we delve into the details, a few words from Coach Toby...
'Face your fears. Embrace developmental opportunities. Sound familiar? Words of wisdom.
What is wisdom? A product of practice and experience. Luckily for runners and more often than not, gaining experience does not require a lot of thought. Just a lot of do.
My mom often said, don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. So that brings us to tonight. Not a lot of thought. Not a lot of talk. Show up. Warm up. Run up the hill. Run down the hill.'
The workout:
After a 5-10 minute warm up, runners will do a 4-mile clockwise city streets loop around Mt. Sutro, passing through and by a number of SF neighborhoods – Cole Valley, Corona Heights, Twin Peaks, Forest Knolls, Midtown Terrace and of course, the Sunset.
The ascent peaks at 1.75 miles into the run, and you’ll be rewarded by a Tank Hill pit stop just prior. Enjoy the views before finishing the short climb to the top. After that, it’s all down hill. Watch for cars along the way! Click the link below for the course map-
