 Workout:

We'll be doing Twin Peaks repeats this week! 

We'll run up Stanyan -> 17th St -> Twin Peaks Blvd, up and over the peaks, then back down for 1 rep. Each rep will be about 900 ft of elevation, at around 10k pace. I recommend at least 6 repeats, but if you want to push yourself you can do 7 or 8. Our cooldown will be running down to the beach and back up!

For such a strenuous workout, it's important to keep a couple things in mind:

• Bring your own hydration/drink plenty of water
• Make sure to warm up sufficiently before
• Happy April 1st!!

Our (real) workout this week is 400-meter repeats:

• Distance: 400 meters (1 full lap of the track).

• Recovery: 200 meters (half a lap). Walk or jog lightly based on your comfort.

• Pace: Aim for your 5K to 10K race pace.

• Repeats: Aim at least 5 times. At a faster pace you might do 8 or 9 times.

As usual, we'll do the session for around 25 minutes. Challenge yourselves to see how many repeats you can fit into this timeframe!

And, as always, team up to form pace groups – it's a great way to have accountability partners!

 Post Workout:
