March is here, and we are excited to have Coach Mark Jellison back at our Sunday team practice! Except for next Sunday (March 8), he will be at our Sunday practice every week during the season. This is a great opportunity for everyone to develop plans with him and achieve your fitness goals. He will try his best…
Overnight rain cleared up, and it turned up to be a perfect morning for team track practice. With April almost gone, we have 15 weeks left until Gay Games 9 in Cleveland + Akron. We’d better put our training in high gear, and we did. The 400m group did one set of 600m, 500m and…
The team practice returned to San Francisco State University track after the fundraiser last Sunday. The drills and workouts were familiar to our eyes, but our muscles may have not gotten used to those yet. But that’s when Coach Mark comes in and provides us with correction and reinforcement. Great to have someone who can…
