Winter Beer/Spirit Mile!!
It's loosely "a Mile" ie more like 1.5 - 2 miles total, haha.
There is only one event, and there is no prizing, but you will go down in history!

DBR Workout 23 Nov, 2023: "The Black Friday F.U"
2 mins hard, 1 min harder, 2 mins easy

Warming Up. How much? Maybe there is a better option than strides, Dirtbags!
I think the take away is that if you feel terrible on the first rep of an interval style workout (me!!), but then get into it by rep 3 or 4, then it may be worth experimenting with a different warm up, particularly one that involves some longer and harder race style efforts.
