Wildcard Run (Chase the Setting Sun)-10/04/2018

CHOICES: RUNNING BORING VS. RUNNING WILD

From Coach Toby:

A lifetime of running. A few lessons learned and epiphanies:

1. Running doesn’t have to be boring.
2. Our runner’s bodies will adapt to the demands and stresses we place upon them.
3. Sometimes we get in a rut. Ruts are never deep and are easy to jump out of.
4. Mornings. The early bird gets the worm. Evenings. Chase the setting sun.

Pre-run: Coach Toby will share how variety can spice up your running life and how it might help put you in front of the pack on race day.

He will also give suggestions for runners of all levels on how to approach this fun, challenging and incredibly gorgeous five-mile run. Check out the course map below...
