Intro
Kofuzi’s pre-race vlog—Travel Day - LA Marathon—documents his arrival in Southern California and includes a community run worth checking out. The video shows plenty of behind-the-scenes moments; here’s what you need to know to join the shake‑out run happening Friday.
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 goes out‑and‑back to Venice Skate Park. You can run the full distance or scale it to whatever suits you, and any pace works.
- Expect 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 starting at Big Dean’s Ocean Front Café to Venice Skate Park.
- Pace: Run at whatever feels right (recovery jog, steady effort, or faster if you want).
- What to bring: Your 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 where you are in your training cycle, log it in the Pacing app, and enjoy the race-week energy.
