Congrats to all club members who raced yesterday, and thanks to everyone who volunteered at the aid station! It was a great day all around, with lots of PRs and awesome energy at water stop 12. 

 Workout:

For a fun, easier workout let's do our Strawberry 800s! 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:
