____________________________________________

Everyone has been training so hard and putting in the hard work in preparation for your next big race. As part of all successful training approach, you need to find a balance between putting in the level of effort that's required and feeding your passion for the sport. The reality is the best-laid training program doesn't mean anything if you can't bring yourself to do it. This weeks core focus is "Making Running Fun Again". We hope this week running adventure reignites the FUN FACTOR for you and you feel good as we knock out the longest miles of the season. 

IMPORTANT: add yourself to the Strava Black Flag Running Club section. You will need this for Tuesday's run.

Saturday @  7:15am - The San Diego Junket “LONG” Run

Simple. . . It’s just a big-ass, long run!  It covers Crown Point, Ocean Beach, Pt. Loma, Downtown, Old Town and Mission Bay and it based on an old San Diego favorite “Tour of San Diego” - named for obvious reasons. The transition from Ocean Beach to Pt. Loma is up and over a road called “Hill Street”  :) The extended 22.5 mi option goes further into downtown, then UP A St andUP into Balboa Park for additional mileage and hills.

    As Always

    Please let us know if you have questions.

    See ya out there!
