The 1 San Francisco Running Route That Makes This POPSUGAR Editor Smile
With one more run completed, it's time for a snack. Gina heads to Native Co., a women-owned smoothie and healthy snack cafe. "I love the Three Fruit smoothie at Native Co.," says Gina, "and there’s also an avocado toast that I love to get post-run — because my body screams for carbs. I like to just people watch, too, while I enjoy some food. It helps me unwind and just mentally chill out."
After refueling, Gina's next stop is Ritual Hot Yoga Studio — where she works up a sweat again. "I do a little bit of yoga every day, whether it’s on my own or in a class," she says. "It’s the complete opposite of running, which requires you to shorten and contract your muscles in order to reach your goals. Yoga lengthens and stretches, so it’s a necessary practice to complement the movement of running. I like this studio because the heat allows me to really release the tense muscles."
