This 10-part running series blends purposeful training with awe-inspiring scenery, from the towering redwoods in Muir Woods to the windswept cliffs of Bodega Bay. Each workout will help you move your body while grounding your mind and reconnecting you with why you run.

This series serves as a natural next step for runners who completed Tommy’s Joy of Running Part 1: Sardinia and Road to Recovery Series, continuing the thoughtful progressions those series introduced. It’s fully approachable if you’re joining Tommy for the first time, too. His coaching philosophy centers on meeting you where you are, whether that means easing back into fitness, rebuilding consistency, or gradually increasing endurance.

How the series works

You’ll alternate between two intentional formats: foundation sessions and growth sessions. Foundation workouts feature two-minute, repeatable intervals to help you dial in on pacing, form, and breathing. Growth workouts will extend your effort with sustained running segments ranging from six to eight minutes to safely challenge your stamina. This structured progression will allow you to steadily improve without feeling overwhelmed.

And we can’t forget the incredible setting for this series! You’ll run past harbor seals near Chimney Rock, cruise along coastal bluffs at Drake’s Beach, and glide beneath ancient redwoods on the Muir Woods boardwalk. Each location is sure to provide you with an experience that will energize your senses, turning each workout into a destination and adventure.

Whether you’re continuing your journey with iFIT Trainer Tommy Rivs or lacing up for the first time, this series is your invitation to move forward with intention, one stride at a time.
