Wildcard Run (Golden Gate Park Tempo Run, 5 miles)-12/12/19

From Coach Toby......

Hey gang, get ready for a “Tempo Thursday” version of our weekly wildcard runs!

After a warm-up run together, your task will be to hold a tempo (comfortably hard) pace for two miles. For most of us this will equate to about 20-30 minutes. We’ll wrap things up with an easy cool down run back to Kezar Stadium.

Note the description “comfortably hard” – this pace should be challenging, but not an all out sprint.

I’ll review why tempo runs are so great for us runners and how to approach the workout before we head out. Pack a headlamp or other light, and do your best to wear reflective clothes. Looking forward to seeing you tonight!

Workout:

-1.5 M warm-up
-2.0 M tempo
-1.5 M cool down

Here’s a link to the out and back route. Take a quick look. It’s very straightforward this week.
