Go HAF

South 1st / Lamar Loops turns the Lady Bird Lake trail into a natural interval session. You run hard along the trail, then use the two bridges — the S. Lamar (Pfluger) pedestrian bridge and the South 1st St bridge — as your recovery, jogging easy across before dropping the hammer again on the next stretch of trail.

THE STORY.
THE SUFFERING.

South 1st / Lamar Loops turns the Lady Bird Lake trail into a natural interval session. You run hard along the trail, then use the two bridges — the S. Lamar (Pfluger) pedestrian bridge and the South 1st St bridge — as your recovery, jogging easy across before dropping the hammer again on the next stretch of trail.

The bridges build the rest right into the loop, so there's no standing around — just hard, float, hard, float, lap after lap. We run 4–5 loops depending on the weather and the time of year.

It's a downtown classic with skyline views the whole way around. Run the trail honest, recover on the bridges, and go HAF — and leave your ego back in the parking lot.
