Intro
Kofuzi’s pre-race vlog Travel Day - LA Marathon covers his arrival in Southern California and a community run worth checking out. Here’s what you need to know to join the Friday shake-out run.
Key points
- Kofuzi settles into his LA hotel, connects with the ASICS corporate team, and hangs with elite runners.
- A 4-mile shake-out run launches Friday, March 18 from Big Dean’s Ocean Front Café in Santa Monica.
- The route is out-and-back to Venice Skate Park. Run the full distance or scale it down. Any pace works.
- Shoe demos, free t-shirts, raffle draws, plus beer and chili dogs after.
Workout example
- Distance: 4 mi (scale up or down based on how you’re feeling).
- Route: out-and-back from Big Dean’s Ocean Front Café to Venice Skate Park.
- Pace: whatever feels right (recovery jog, steady effort, or faster).
- What to bring: shoes to try out (Nimbus 24, Nimbus Light 3, etc.) and a willingness to stick around for the post-run hangout.
Closing note
The Santa Monica shake-out is worth your time. Adjust the mileage and intensity to fit your training cycle, log it in the Pacing app, and enjoy the race-week energy.
