Wildcard Run (Stanyan Street Hill Repeats, 3-3.5 miles)-12/26/19

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 fifteen minute warm-up run together, we’ll do hill repeats at Stanyan Street, running from its base at Fell St up to Fulton St and returning to Stanyan.

Workout:
-1.5 mile warm up
-.2M hill repeats

Warm up & cool down:

-Exiting the stadium’s west gate, we’ll turn right and run 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 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.
-At Masonic, make a right, right on Oak Street, and then back to Stanyan Street to complete the loop.
-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.
