Colby Trail in Glendora Workout Hike - Advanced

Join us for a great workout hike in Glendora. This is a great trail with great views and it sure beats that boring treadmill/elliptical in the gym. Chances are you'll get a much better workout too.
(This event is cross posted)

TRAINING CONCEPT:
The focus will be to get a great cardio, butt, and leg workout going up very steep inclines. This will essentially be a form of interval training, which is actually quite effective for increasing your cardio capacity/fitness level. We'll all push ourselves a bit to get our heart rate up and then catch our breath and re-group at the junctions and hilltops.

DIFFICULTY: ADVANCED
You already need to be well conditioned for this workout. Although the distance is relatively short this is a high intensity workout and several sections are very steep. We'll be power-walking uphill to get our heart rate up to improve our conditioning. Due to the steepness it is important to wear shoes with great traction.

To serve the best interest of the group, as well as, yourself please make sure this hike is appropriate for your ability level before signing up. If in doubt please contact me (Stein).

THE PLAN:
We'll meet at the trailhead at about 9:00 AM, do some stretching and get started heading up the trail shortly after.

At the peak we'll catch our breath for a few minutes and enjoy the city view before heading back down.

DISTANCE & ELEVATION GAIN:
About 5 miles and about 1800 ft. or so cumulative elevation gain.

TIME REQUIRED:
About 2-2.5 hours or so.

• Trail running shoes or flexible hiking booths with plenty of traction (important)
• Hydration system (best) or bottle with water or Gatorade, at least 1 liter.

For this event you need to change your RSVP to "No" minimum 30 minutes before the start of the event. If you have multiple no-shows on your record you will be considered unreliable and may not be admitted to certain events and when there people on the waiting list.
