Washington Twp. Park 7/10 - 7/16

The Summer Fun Run Series takes us to Washington Township Park in Avon, Indiana.  The start and finish is towards the back of the park by the splash pad.  The fun run route is a 2.774 mile double out and back traversing the White Lick Creek Trail.  From the start head south to the south turn around then continue all the way to the north turn around before finishing back in the middle where you started.  Follow the red and blue SFR signs with directional arrows to guide you along the route in addition to the map on this page.

Workout of the Week: “Haunted Jaunt”
 

Warm Up: 10–20-minute run/jog followed by Kinetic/Active Stretching Drills (20 Yards of Skipping, butt kicks, karaoke, high knees, strides)
 
Haunted Jaunt @Washington Township Park (featuring a truly “Screamin’ Hill”)
This park boasts one of the staple sledding hills in Hendricks County, so of course it is time for another hill workout! After the warmup try to end up around the base of the sledding hill (near the red maintenance barn). You can choose to do these repeats on any section of the grass hill (the southside is less steep), or you can run it in the road (it’s uphill too). Please note-never stop jogging up the hill or during recovery. Be sure to pump those arms and drive those knees-hill running done right builds strength and can drastically improve form! One more good hill workout at Gibbs Park later in the summer!
