The workout is 'Quarters & Calisthenics' 

• 400 meters (one loop) at moderate intensity  
• 10 Push ups
• 10 Steam Engines (our version of the pilates bicycle)  

Repeat 10 times, or for 40 minutes  (whichever comes sooner)

A challenging and self paced workout combining strength, speed and endurance. Although the distance is 2.5 miles - Think of an effort similar to running a 10 k.m. Bring your game face.

Sunday Run March 8 - 9am Lake Union Loop

For this Sunday's run we'll meet at Gasworks parking lot (MAP) at 9:00am and go counter clockwise around the lake for a total of 6.5 miles. 

A map of the route can be found here.

The reason for the counter clockwise is that we've noticed it's easier to follow. Going clockwise makes it possible/easy to miss the bridge and this way you just turn left every time you can and don't forget to cross the bridge!

 

Rain/showers are anticipated for Sunday so remember to dress accordingly.

 

As always, please direct any questions to Kellie at KellieMorrill@adventx.com or John at JohnColver@adventx.com.
