Try This Bike Rack Running Workout to Get Faster

Running on campus is a fantastic way to get fit, but sometimes logging miles can start to get monotonous. If you’re looking for a way to stay alert, get fit and amp up your speed, it’s definitely time to try this bike rack running workout from Women’s Running!

The concept is simple: use the bike racks on campus as cues to change up your speed while running. You can make it random, or follow our 2-3-3-2 guide, switching up your pace after every two or three bike racks that you see. Not a lot of bike racks on your campus? Use light poles instead! And of course, don’t forget to warm up and cool down with five minutes at an easy pace. Have fun on your run!
