Health and Exercise Prescriptions

I love this fall loop in Bellingham - starting at the Depot Market, along South Bay Trail, then up Taylor Hill (.6 mile) with stairs for the return. It’s a great blend of cardio and strength that builds real running resilience. Want pointers to make it safe for a chronic condition or injury? I create personalized plans that help you build strength while protecting what matters. 🍂🥾

Have you run this route? Tell me your favorite hill to train on.
