    Hey everyone,

     

    We had an awesome run on Saturday! I was definitely excited to see everyone out for our long run post-Thanksgiving! We have another exciting week planned.  We have one of our most popular runs coming up on Saturday - from Crown Point to La Jolla. Following the run, we normally do another pot luck but thought we would switch it up and head over to Crown Point Coffee afterward.

    Coffee with Friends – alternative to a potluck.

    We normally do potluck on this run but figured we would switch it up and got to coffee instead. This Saturday after we finish up we will head over to Crown Point Coffee only a few blocks away. The place next door also has amazing Acai Bowl with peanut butter. If you haven’t had them before you are in for a treat.

     

    See you there:

    Holiday Schedule

     I have received a few questions regarding our group run holiday schedule and wanted to provide some clarity. All runs will remain on the normal Tuesday and Saturday schedule despite where Christmas and New Years falls in the calendar.  If you are in town we are still running.   

    This Week’s Training

    We are in week 6 of the training program and week 2 of the Second Cycle.  Everything is continuing to build, primarily with Saturday’s long run.

     For new runners or people returning after a long hiatus, these “middle” weeks can appear to be the hardest as the “SUK Factor” (SF) can get pretty high.  This is because the runs (and overall weekly mileage) are getting longer each week, all while still building the base foundation.)  Don’t worry – keep your runs EASY in nature, stick with the program and you’ll soon reach that magic tipping point.  

     

    Specific training notes are:

    • Run//Walkers – No Change this week.  Keep your walks brisk, yet runs slow to keep that SF down!  Remember change from last week, Mondays are now INT and not WALK.
    •  Intermediate Runners – No changes this week.  Keep your runs solid and generally easy in nature.  Keep up the frequency 4x per week!
    •   PR Chasers  – Solid steady state runs Mon, Wed.  Tempo on Thur. Saturday’s long run up to 13 miles with a combo E10+LT3.  Pushing near 40 miles this week!  (Max out at 44 during week 10)

    Upcoming Group Runs & Clinics

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

    Starting at the south parking lot at Belmont Park and run north for 40 min or to Tourmalin St. You will likly run past the pier and up to Law st beach area and follow the sidewalk to Tourmalin. This is an Out & Back Run.

    • Headlamp is recommended
    • Happy Hour: The Draft

     

    Saturday @ 7:15 am - To La Jolla Cove (from Crown Point)

    From Crown Point, head North around Sail Bay to the ocean and head North into La Jolla along the beautiful “bike path” and neighborhood of La Jolla.  It’s an Out & Back, so turn around where your schedules tells you, but you can easily get all the way to the Cove for a 15mi run, or the Shores, and further if you wish.

    As Always

    We'll usually arrive 15-20 minutes before each group run to make ourselves available for questions, tips, whatever.  We also plan to stay afterwards for as long as it takes to do the same.  This means I'll be at Tuesday runs around 5:45 PM and the Saturday runs at 7:15 AM.

     

    Please let us know if you have questions.

     

    See ya out there!

    *NOTE  – between 11/1 and 3/31 the restroom at this parking lot is closed for the winter. There is a restroom at the other end of the Park just under a 1/4 mile away (you can easily walk/jog from our lot) and there is also a restroom at Fanuel Park which is about 1 mile into the run.  Keep this in mind if you find yourself having to go to the restroom as you near the parking area before the run.
