Training Concept:
This will essentially be a form of interval training, which is actually quite effective for increasing your cardio capacity/fitness level. Since we are all at different fitness levels some of us will likely keep a faster pace than others. We'll all try to push ourselves a bit to get our heart rate up and then catch our breath and re-group at the junctions.

The Plan:
We'll meet by the bear statue (see photo) at the intersection of Fern Dell Dr. and Los Feliz Blvd. at about 6:45 PM, do some stretching and introductions etc. and get started at 7:00 PM sharp.

We'll start heading up the paved path parallel to Fern Dell Dr. Then we'll head up one of the many trail options to the peak of Mt. Hollywood. At the peak we'll catch our breath for a few minutes while enjoying the city view before heading back down a different way (usually).

Directions:Click here for Google directions to the meeting spot.

Parking:
You may not park on Fern Dell Dr. after sundown or on Los Feliz Blvd before 7 PM. However, you may park on the residential side streets across Los Feliz Blvd. like N. Oxford Ave., N. Serrano Ave, or N. Hobart Blvd.

Consider Train:
Our meeting spot is only 1/2 mile from the Hollywood & Western station on the Red line so depending on where you work/live this might be a great option to get there. Trains go every 10 minutes or so. This is how I get to and from work and I love not having to deal with traffic. From 7th&Fig. downtown it only takes 11 minutes - that sure is a lot faster than with your car in rush traffic. From the station simply walk/jog north on Western and around the turn and you are there. It makes for a great warm up too.
