Hi everyone, I'm back from Germany and excited to catch up with you all! Many thanks to our awesome guest coaches for providing new exciting workouts over the past few weeks!

IMPORTANT: There's a soccer game at Kezar this Wednesday), so we'll be doing our workout in GGP instead. We'll still meet at Kezar, but outside the East Gate (with the columns, next to the parking lot). We'll do our introductions there, then run into the park as our warmup and regroup at the north bridge on Blue Heron Lake (formerly Stow Lake). Please only bring things you can carry with you.

🏃 Workout:

Let's do one of my favorite off-track workouts -  repeats of Strawberry Hill! The hill is about 800 meters distance/100 ft of elevation. You'll be running all the way to the top of the hill (don't stop at the top of the waterfall, keep going), then turning and coming back down. You'll have 1 minute in between reps at the base of the hill to catch your breath. I recommend trying for at least 4 reps (so 4 up-and-down cycles). If you want a flatter workout, you can run the outer rim of the lake, which is about a mile around.

🔋 Post Workout:
Looks like it's going to be a warm day, so let’s try Finnegans Wake (937 Cole St). They have a backyard, but it could get chilly, so make sure to have a jacket. Join us for food and drinks!

📅 Upcoming Races/Events:

• Wednesday July 17th - Tracksmith Twilight 5k at Kezar
• Sunday July 28th - SF Marathon + Volunteering
