Training BloK Vol 2:
Summa Summa Summa time!
Coming off a great Spring season, we honor some shifts in our training. Most of us use this time to build a strong base for aerobic fitness. Because the summer in FL is so special, we keep our quality days geared towards 5k fitness. Yes, some crazies out there are marathon training… all that means is they are waking up earlier than us.
So…
Join us for roughly 6 - 8 weeks of work as we build towards our annual Watermelon 5k! (July 4th)
We generally meet two days a week over our time together.
(Thursdays 630p and Sundays 630a)
see below for more details
Thursday Deets !
Thursdays we’ll meet at Blue Jacket Park
This will generally be our shorter run during the week. Plan to have a structured workout or a planned quality session. (like goal setting or foam rolling or yoga)
Coaching Staff will help group workouts and paces so that all have space to grow and feel challenged! In the past we’ve had athletes from the 15 min mile all the way to 5 min miles.
Thursday sessions will begin at 630pm.
Blue Jacket Park
2501 General Reese Ave
Orlando Fl 32814
Sunday Deets !
Sundays we’ll plan to meet for our longer efforts.
This run is generally at chit chat pace and offers time to build base and community.
Sundays are also the days that we layer in opportunities to exlore run culture in Central Florida. One way we do this is by aligning our run with supporting crews or experiences around town such as the We Run Winterpark
Sunday runs will begin at 630 am
New Location!

WaterMelon 5k
Every Summer, we use this “fun race” as a chance to check in on our fitness!
For us… its a mixed bag of “party” and “progress.”
We’re usually in the running for “largest team” which, if won, allows us to bless a Charity with a $500 check from the race event.
Since then, we’ve made it a focal point in our Blok experience It adds more community and more purpose to our cause to connect, gather, and bank mileage.
