Join us for our weekly long runs and Board meeting tomorrow!

February 6, 2015

Saturday is our official kick-off for the SFM 24-week training program, as well as an unofficial jump start of training for the Oakland half.

For those getting back into gear, we have a 5-miler, as well as an 8-miler for those looking to add a few miles. For those training for the Oakland half, we’ll assume you’re already under way, and this week calls for 12 miles.

Don’t forget, we’re starting from Duboce Park, the corner of Duboce and Sanchez, next to the Duboce Park Café at the SE corner of the park. Also don’t forget, we’re having a board meeting following the run, as close to 10:00 am as we can.

See you there, rain or shine!

For those running Kaiser, it’s the last long run before a taper, so 14 miles. For everyone else, we have a 5.6 and 6.8 miler, (the same courses as last week).

A number of folks are running the Hot Chocolate race on Sunday, so I don’t expect quite as many to show for the Saturday run, but I will be there for the start on Saturday.

For those doing Kaiser, we suggested 12-14, so there’s a 12 miler and a 13.4 miler. Goal is a 2-mile warmup, 8-10 mi at goal race pace, then 2 mile cool down. And there are some hills!

We also have a 5.6 miler around Crissy field and a 6.8 miler to the bridge, to ease folks back into running after the holiday season.

See you all at Aquatic Park under the clock. Park in the lot at the end of Van Ness.
