On April 10th I will be running the horse trails off of Prospect and Imperial Highway. I will run for about an 1:15 or so. Please join me if you are up for it The route is a fairly tame 3 miles on horse trails. You can repeat it as much as you want. I will have my truck parked at the base of he trail so you can stash your water bottles in the back. All paces are welcome. We will loop the route so you'll always be fairly close to other runners.
Since a number of you have expressed interest in doing the Harding Hustle this would be a good start to transitioning to the trails if you haven't already done so. The obvious challenge of trail running is the elevation gain. The not so obvious challenge is the uneven terrain and resulting uneven strides that you'll have to take. Your body needs to adjust to this as well as the elevation changes.
The Prospect horse trail has a decent little climb, but the biggest benefit is that you'll start to get a little taste of the trails without having to venture too far out.
Here is a link to the location. Change the view to satellite or hybrid view so that you have a clear shot of the trails. You may even want to print out a copy(although it would be tough to get lost).
When: Start time 9:15 AM
Saturday, April 10th
Where: Just north of Imperial Highway on Prospect in Yorba Linda - Check the map above.
Hope to see you there!!!! Feel free to invite your friends and running buddies
*** There will be some course markings but this is not a fully supported run. Each individual should be in good shape and familiar with the course.
