CALVARY LOOP REDUX!
on channel: skaai
Another blast to the past around the infamous Calvary Loop! Why do I run it? Partly because it’s one of the best running loops in Los Angeles because it has both hills and declines to kick your butt! Side 1 (Downey) is deceptively hard as it rises about 60 feet over a long distance. You notice it’s hard because your heart rate shoots up. Side 2 (3rd street) is more obvious: you see the street going up and it scares the heck out of you. Side 3 (Eastern) is like a vacation: you take a long decline that you can use to practice going faster, just don’t go too fast as many folks get injured on this part! Side 4 (Whittier) is the “regular” part of the run. What is funny is two sides slow you down and two sides speed you up, so in the end, you go at about the same pace as on a straight run, but you just went up a hill and down another! Not hard enough for you? Just go a little bit faster and suddenly this becomes a monster, especially in hot weather!
So I do this run quite frequently, even though I am often afraid of it.
I also get in trouble: sometimes when you see other runners, you push yourself, but this is a bad idea in hot weather…
Why do I post the same trails? Because running is often repetitive and feels like it lasts FOREVER EVER EVER! I understand the monotony might bore most of you, and this is part of what I as a runner needed to deal with… Running is so freaking boring to me too! I cope by playing music and sharing on video! Regardless, many of my runs will repeat, but like many things we repeat in life, we get a little better every time!
