Runyon Canyon Conditioning Workout/Hike

This is an Intermediate/advanced workout. There is some steep downhill requiring deep hiking shoe tread. The uphill is constant but somewhat gradual. This is a loop I do weekly. Each loop is approximately 2 miles/50 minutes. You can do as few or as many as you want. We'll go down the fire road to East ridge then come up West ridge fire road. I usually do 3 laps. You can exit at the Mulholland gate after any lap. I do intermediate/advanced pace. Our Policy: Profile photo: Anyone interested in joining this event must have a profile photo showing his/her face.
