Whether you are cooling your jets for this weekend’s long run or looking for a quality workout to increase strength and endurance, tonight’s wildcard is for you.
Pre-run: I’ll break down “recovery running” – including debunking the popular myth that a recovery run’s sole purpose is only to well, help you recover. Not true! They can do so much more to enhance your training and running fitness. I’ll also provide guidance for all levels of runners on how to approach the workout.

This four miler includes park, city streets, and a short trail diversion at Tank Hill to capture a nighttime panoramic view of the city. Headlamps are a must! And cha ching! You’ll also add almost 500 feet to your weekly climbing totals.
