Tonight's workout

Today's workout is at the Austin High Track.

If you're coming from south of the river, it might be easier to avoid traffic by taking Barton Springs Road, turning north on Stratford, parking under Mopac, and walking/running across the pedestrian bridge.

Happy hour afterwards at Uncle Billy's on Barton Springs Road!

Getting to Austin High's track:

From Southbound Mopac:
  • Exit at Lake Austin Blvd.
  • Continue down the access road, through Lake Austin Blvd., past RunTex
  • At Stephen F. Austin Drive at the bottom of the hill, either park under the bridge in the dirt to your left, find street parking, or park in the lots around the tennis center.
From Northbound Mopac:
  • Take the 1st-5th Streets Exit)
  • Stay to the left (towards 5th street)
  • Turn left on 6th/lake Austin Blvd.
  • Turn left at Run Tex
  • At Stephen F. Austin Drive at the bottom of the hill, either park under the bridge in the dirt to your left, find street parking, or park in the lots around the tennis center.
From Downtown:
  • Take Cesar Chavez west towards Mopac
  • Veer right just past the Animal Shelter, before you go up the ramp to Mopac (this is known in running circles (pardon the pun) as the Dog Pound Loop
  • Go under the overpass, then turn right on Stephen F. Austin drive - you'll see the track
