____________________________________________

We're really moving along with our training and we have an exciting run planned for us this Tuesday and it's the Trolley Run. Look over everything and be sure to bring a mask.  It's going to be fun!  

Trolley Run Details:

We have another new run planned this week and I am excited to get your feedback. In short, we are meeting in Old Town and riding the trolley down to Seaport Village and running back. Sound's easy, right?!

This is what you need to know:

You need to bring a mask with you!

You will need to purchase a one-way ticket for the trolley on the Green Line. Last year they launched a new app called Pronto which you will need to download.

https://www.ridepronto.com/

It's $2.00 if you have a app, and if not, you will need to purchase at ticket at the station but its best to do it on the app. I recommend arriving early so you have time to get everything situated. I heard you could download the app and do it that way too but I haven't figured it out yet.

We are meeting at the Trolley Platform located at 4005 Taylor Street San Diego CA  at 6:15PM sharp. Parking is all over the place, but I recommend you park directly across the platform in the trolley parking lot. 

Trolley Schedule:

Departs: Old Town Transit Station / Trolley Leaves at 6:22 pm

Arrives: Seaport Village Station at 6:33 pm

We will do a quick warm-up at the trolley stop and you will be on your way. It’s a good idea to bring water with you on this run.  

RECOVERY?

Yes, for all of you!!!! And after 3 weeks straight of hill training, plus a few rough long runs . . . IT’S TIME FOR SOME RECOVERY!!  

THIS WEEK’S TRAINING

As I mentioned above, we are in a recovery week. In regards to training, means that your overall weekly mileage will be less and we will not be doing any specialty runs or workouts. It is designed to give your body and mind a rest we have been pounding the pavement pretty hard recently.  Some notable items for each group:

  • Run/Walkers (Half) – Long run will be UP to 60min
  • Run/Walkers (Full) – Long run will be UP to 120-130min
  • Intermediate HALF – Long run will be UP to 7 mi.
  • PR Chasers HALF – Long run will be UP to 9 mi.
  • Intermediate FULL –  Long run will be UP to 14 mi.
  • PR Chasers FULL­­­­ –  Long run will be UP to 18M mi.

    Upcoming Group Runs & Clinics

    Below are the run maps and the group run locations.  At the very bottom of this post are detailed instructions for the meeting locations.

    Tuesday @ 6:15 pm - NEW RUN - Old Town Trolley Run / Seaport Village

    Saturday @ 7:30am - Silver Strand from Coronado

    Starting at Tidelands Park in Coronado, run the popular pathway clockwise till you get to the Hotel Del then verge off the usual path to head out South down the Silver Strand.  Hit your half way point? Turnaround and come home. (Mapped up to 11mi one way, 22mi round trip)

    As Always

    Please let us know if you have questions.

    See ya out there!

    Detailed Meeting Locations

    This is where we will meet on Tuesday and/or Saturday. Don’t get lost :)

    Trolley Run Details:

     Trolley Platform located at 4005 Taylor Street San Diego CA  at 6:15PM sharp. Parking is all over the place, but I recommend you park directly across the platform in the trolley parking lot. 

    Coronado, Tidelands Park

    2099 Mullinex Dr, Coronado, CA 92118

    Coming from San Diego over Coronado Bridge, stay in far right lane, exit Glorietta Blvd, right onto Mullinex into park, all the way to end.  We're in the far East end of the park, along the water's edge, towards the bridge.  There are restrooms and water fountains.

    *This is a great run, but a busy area and limited parking.  Tidelands park can be a madhouse on Saturday mornings as there are ball fields out there and the Saturday morning soccer moms can be out in force.  If you’re not “early”, plan to park out on Mullinex Rd, or possibly even further – meaning you could be faced with a good hike, so try to get there earlier than normal.
