Wildcard Run (Winter of Love-The Haight's Buena Vista Park, 3.7-4.7 miles)-12/5/19

From Coach Toby....

Thousands flocked to San Francisco’s Buena Vista Park for 1967’s Summer of Love. Amidst the artists, dreamers, students and activists, there had to be some runners too!

The city’s oldest park was originally known as Hill Park and provides the perfect location for tonight's workout. Get ready for some hills and the opportunity to focus on building strength and endurance for your running.

I’ll share the benefits of long hill repeats and how to approach the workout before the run. See you soon!

Workout Type: Long Hill Repeats

-2 or 3 laps around the perimeter of Buena Vista Park (clockwise, counterclockwise, clockwise) – each lap is approx 1.05M with 200 feet elevation gain – run at comfortable pace
