Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great week and are excited about the train run this weekend. Make sure you watch the video and look over all the information before the run.
TRAIN RUN
This weekend we have the long-awaited train run, this is always a favorite.
The trains depart at the following times; 6:33am, 8:44am, 12:43pm, 2:16pm, 4:36pm and 7:22pm.
Saturday = Train Run
The full set of details for the train run can be found at this Link but below is the high-level information you need for this weekend.
If you are doing the train run this weekend you will be doing a minimum of 16 miles. If you are doing less than that, it will be an out and back from the Solana Beach train station.
Do I Really Have to Run 16mi This Weekend?
We have the Train Run this weekend which is a one-way, 16 mi run meaning there is no cutting short. YES, We WILL have an alternate Coastal Run going up to 12-14mi for those not able or wanting to do 16 yet. **DO NOT RISK going out trying to do 16mi just because it sounds cool or challenging. I will have more info later in the week on the details.
Medium Long Runs MLR are now Upon Us
In addition to adding a bit of mileage to our Mon and Wed runs for most everyone, our Thursday runs bump up more mileage to cover what we call “Medium Long Run” (MLR) distance.
This Week’s Training
As mentioned above, we’re back UP this week. Everyone’s weekly mileage is bumping up a bit starting this week. This includes the R/W Interval Group bumping up to the next set of intervals at 2/8 or 2/13. Notables for each group are:

Detailed Meeting Locations
This is where we will meet on Tuesday and/or Saturday. Don’t get lost :)
Solana Beach Train Station
105 N. Cedros Ave, Solana Beach, CA 92075
I-5 to Lomas Santa Fe, West on Lomas Santa Fe, Right on N. Cedros Ave. Train Station is on left - park in public parking lots or streets. You can also park up on Rios Avenue. This area can become very busy and crowded if travel season is high. Plan on a good 5-10-15 min walk if you have to park a few blocks up the street.
We will be meeting at the Bill's Auto Repair Shop directly across the street (Hopefully he won't be standing out front as he is here on the Map - http://goo.gl/maps/EAqa ) I will have my truck pulled in there. Use the restrooms and drinking fountain inside the train station but don't loiter around inside the station.
