Wildcard Run (SUMMER OF LOVE –The HAIGHT’S BUENA VISTA PARK, approx 4.75 miles)-06/20/19

From Coach Toby:

Thousands flocked to San Francisco for 1967’s Summer of Love. Amidst the artists, dreamers, students and activists, there had to be some runners too! We’ll transition from the flats of last week's Golden Gate Park workout to some of the most scenic views of the city via its oldest park. Get ready for some hills and the opportunity to focus on building strength and endurance for your running.


Workout:

-3/4M warm up (easy pace)
-3 laps around the perimeter of Buena Vista Park (clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise) – each approx 1.10M and 200 feet elevation gain
-3/4M cool down
