How the morning runs
Meet us at CrossFit Tyneside for 10:30. We start with a welcome and social so you can meet the team and get to know everything before the run. The session kicks off at 11:00, with a pace group for every level whether you've never run before or you're training loads. Back at CFT afterwards for breakfast and a proper social to finish the morning.
What to bring
Comfortable running shoes, a water bottle and a layer for afterwards. Puresport fuelling and hydration will be on hand before and after the session.
Check in with the DashPoint app on the night to collect your first stamp, every session you attend unlocks more Puresport rewards across the block.
