Workout:
For a fun, easier workout to finish out the year, let's do our Strawberry 800s workout! (So named because we "borrowed" the workout from the Strawberry Canyon Track Club).
These are 800-Meter repeats in a relay format. Form a 3-person team (ideally running similar speeds) and run as follows:
Lap 1: Runner A starts
Lap 2: Runner A keeps running, Runner B joins
Lap 3: Runner A stops. Runner B keeps running, Runner C joins
Lap 4: Runner B stops, Runner C keeps running, Runner A Joins…
and so on. Only Runner A runs the first lap and only Runner C runs the final lap.
For each runner, 1 cycle is running 800 meters and then taking a short rest. Let’s shoot to do 4 cycles each, meaning running 3200 meters (4x 800m) in total, at around 10k pace. Don’t forget to cheer on your teammates as you run the workout together!
🔋 Post Workout:
Let's go to Fireside (603 Irving St, between 7th and 8th Ave) this week! They let you bring food as well, so join us for food and drinks!
