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.

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.
We’re thrilled to host our Sunday Long runs in partnership with our friends at East End Market. Run Culture has long celebrated “apres” or the after the run scene and East End Market is the embodiment of that space.. We recognize that life happens at many different paces and East End Market holds the perfect space for us to celebrate that. [ celebrate you ]. Come for the run, but stay for coffee, the conversation, and the community that East End offers.
Sunday runs will begin at 630 am
Please find parking in main lot or in overflow just across the street
3201 Corrine Drive Orlando, Fl 32803
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.
