🏃 Workout:
"Fartlek" (Swedish for "speed play") often referred to as speed work that involves bursts of speed followed by a recovery period. This week, we're adding our unique group twist to it. Here's how it works:
  1. We form groups of 4 to 6 people.
  2. Within each group, one person is designated as the "chaser."
  3. Everyone will run on the upper loop of the track in a clockwise direction at a relaxed pace.
  4. The chaser will break away and run counter-clockwise at a faster pace.
  5. Once the chaser catches up with the group, a different person takes on the chaser role. Repeat.
We'll continue this for 25 minutes.

🔋 Post Workout:
Let’s go to Red Tail (545 Irving Street, between 6th and 7th Ave). Like the other places, they let you bring food as well. So join us for food and drinks too!
