For the last six weeks, I’ve been training with a small group of athletes to show winter who’s boss. Nike crafted an amazing program centered on the hashtag #GetOutHere and that we did, every Tuesday until just this past week. Nothing stopped us – not rain, flurries or the cold.

While the training was tough (think hill sprints and resistance running, burpees and planks), there was a huge element of fun sprinkled throughout. Dodgeball, relay races and more were thrown into the mix to remind us that there’s fun to be had outdoors even during the chilliest months. After all, we all once craved those snow days as children.

The journey ended with a run down memory lane. Station after station, one for each week that had passed, we relived each #TrainTuesday. We did so as a team, no man left behind. It was the perfect cap.

Now we’ve been challenged to run 23 km over the next three weeks to ensure the holidays don’t derail all the hard work we’ve already put in. Who’s in?
