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 - TUESDAYS 7:30 PM at Tufts TRACK

This week we are doing “Gear Changers”. These are mile reps done mostly at THRESHOLD pace but with a short surge up to REPEAT pace before returning to THRESHOLD for the remainder of the mile.  The rest between reps is 2:30

Everyone should do 3 of these.  If you feel ambitious, do 4.   I would not recommend more unless your weekly mileage is very high

Everyone will run the first 2 laps of each mile  right at THRESHOLD pace.  Then, on the 3rd lap, you will pick the pace up on to REPEAT pace.  How long you hold this REPEAT pace depends upon your group

• Groups A, B: Run 400 meters (the entire 3rd lap) at REPEAT before returning to THRESHOLD for the last lap

• Groups C, D: Run 300 meters (3/4 of a lap) at REPEAT before returning to THRESHOLD

• Groups E, F: Run 200 meters (half a lap) at REPEAT before returning to THRESHOLD
