SRR is proud to partner with Pride on Foot.

Pride on Foot, LLC (POF) is an advocacy organization for the running and fitness communities.  We work with run clubs, race directors, and fitness groups who want to understand how to be more accepting and inclusive of Transgender, Queer-gender, Intersex, Gender non-conforming, and Non-binary people. Through education and policy changes we create affirming, inviting, and safe spaces where everyone can be free to workout while living an authentic life.

TRACK - WEDNESDAY, Jan 8, 7:30 PM at MIT

Cruise Intervals: One mile reps at THRESHOLD intensity with 1:00 rests. Everyone should do at least 3. If your mileage permits you should do more. It is up to you but this is a workout where more is better (and harder is not). Do as many as 6 if you are willing.
