  • I've got one more stop before I head to Eugene for World Championships. This time, I'm heading to San Francisco. It's a city that I've been to many times with my wife, with my kids, and with my friends. But it's the first time that I've been here as a runner.

  • @levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183

    Yet more fun seeing you meet up with other run club members, and also more outstanding cinematography of one of the most beautiful cities in the world! There was a Boudin sourdough in Santa Monica (don’t know if it’s still there) and I used to fill my suitcase with sourdough bread every time I went back to LA to see my parents. Also-those electric buses are technically called trams or trolley buses if I’m not mistaken. They had those, too, when I was growing up in LA but they disappeared by sometime in the 60’s if not earlier. Not to be confused with cable cars.

    Grew up in San Francisco and worked there until 2017. My lunch runs were along the Embarcadero down past the ballpark and further south to Pier 80. The views were almost always nice and it's a great memory. I think you did a good job showcasing the city for runners.

    • @fastinradfordable
      @fastinradfordable Рік тому

      I don’t think it’s ‘the city for runners’
      It is full of way too many cars and people spewing pollution
      The best city for running is one where you don’t see a car the whole time you run. In my humble opinion.
      I wanted to visit snd driven thru but Bay Area is insanely overpopulated
      Not to mention…. Priced….
      A runners city is not one where avg rent per month is over $3,000

      It’s unusual for me to travel mid-week, so Runner’s Weekend is usually more technically correct. Some of this travel for this summer occurred during the week, but since I was not coming to these cities to sit at an office desk and work 9-5, it seemed unnecessarily pedantic to title two of the episodes something different
