Wildcard Run (HILL hath no fury-Stanyan Street Hill Repeats, 3.5-4ish miles)-03/28/19

Hills. Love them or hate them, running in San Francisco we can’t avoid them. The great news – running hills builds strength, improves speed, and develops mental fortitude, aka what I like to call GRIT.

Tonight’s workout is accessible for runners of all levels. After a 2 mile warm-up, we’ll do hill repeats at Stanyan Street, running from its base at Fell St up to Fulton St and returning to Stanyan. Coach Toby will provide guidance before the run on how to best execute the workout.

Warm up & cool down:

-Exiting the stadium’s west gate, we’ll turn right and run as a group to the Panhandle on the paved sidewalk path that runs along the right side of Kezar Drive. This will take us to Stanyan and Oak streets.
-Cross Stanyan Street then make a left to get onto the Panhandle. We’ll do a clockwise loop from here, running along the paved Panhandle path in a clockwise direction.
-Running along the Fell Street side, cross Masonic Ave, continue to the end of the Panhandle, making a right on Bake Street. Right on Oak Street, back to Stanyan Street.
-After completing the loop, make a right and proceed to the corner of Fell and Stanyan Streets. This will be the starting location for the hill repeats. After the workout, we will return to the stadium the way we came.
