This run will be VERY different from anything we’ve done this season. This will be a 'prediction' run!
You’ll show up on Saturday morning. You'll tell me what kind of time you 'think' you can run for the course (see below). I will jot this time down.
Then, I’ll take your watches/devices. The idea here is to run based on feel/intuition. (*Note-I will give your watches/devices back AFTER the run!)
We’ll send you out on the run and whoever comes BACK to A Runner’s Mind and posts a time ‘closest’ to their ‘predicted’ time wins a free entry to the fall season of Run Club (Sat, 8/18 launch)!
The person who gets the '2nd' closest time gets a free entry to The Honey Badger Half/10K/5K (Sun, 10/28) @ China Camp State Park.
The person who gets the '3rd' closest time gets a free entry to The Krampus Cross Country 5K/10K (Sun, 12/9) in San Francisco!
To be clear, this run is not about ‘speed’. It doesn’t matter how fast you can run. It’s a matter of how ‘accurately’ you can ‘predict’ your finish time WITHOUT the aid of watches, devices, etc.
Here’s a link to the course map….
Here’s a description of said course…
