Time: 6:00pm

Workout: VO2Max type loop, ~4 min hard, ~1 min recovery.

Terrain: Not technical. First half of the hard run is on a flat,
smooth path; the second half is up a mild hill. The recovery is downhill.

Warm-up: About 15-20 min easy jog together to the start. We may also
do one easy loop together to preview the course.

If late: Cross the street and follow the bike path into the park.
Don't cross the bridge, but stay straight onto the park road. Just
past the tollbooth, stay left at the fork. About 1 mi down the road,
at the Fishermen's lot, the road curves left and climbs steeply. Just
before there, by the Coyote Crossing sign, look for a trail on the
left. Take the single-track trail, from the left side of the road,
that goes up to the right of the creek. Don't head up the dirt road to
Coyote Crossing. The loop starts at the next trail junction, ~40 yards
up. That's the start of the loop.

The workout loop will go E, right from there, on the flat path. Run
that path hard. Take a sharp left at the end, and continue hard up to
the next junction. It's a moderate climb. At the junction, go left,
and recover easy, downhill, back to the start. Repeat the hard/easy
loop for about 25 minutes.

Bring water, extra clothing, etc., to leave at start of loop, if wanted.

All levels are welcome. We stay together during the warm-up. Then, we
usually will stay in a small area – either back and forth, or a short
loop. So, no one will be left behind. If you want to get faster, you
have to practice faster.
