Run 10 K
Post time to comments.
Compare to 090117.
Whenever the main site calls for a 10K run we offer alternative programming here at the Box (not because we don't believe in running a 10K, but only because we cannot coach a 10K run inside the Box). So if you want to run a 10K (a behavior we strongly encourage, as it is today's WOD), run it in the great outdoors. But if you'd like to get a workout indoors along with some coaching, come in for a class!
If you're looking to run outdoors and would like company, please use today's comments to try to coordinate with other CFNYC members so that you don't have to run solo.
