Important question before Run the Plank 5K…
Are you a Ross runner or a Phoebe runner?

Ross Runner:
• checking pace every 12 seconds
• accidentally turns a fun run into a competitive event
Phoebe Runner:
• running purely on vibes
• waves at strangers

Honestly… both are welcome at Run the Plank 💙
Also friendly reminder: TODAY is the last day to guarantee your race shirt

Only 1 DAY left to guarantee your race shirt! While signing up here are some random cross country / 5K facts that sound fake but are apparently real.

• Your body cannot store enough oxygen for an entire 5K race. Which explains why everyone looks personally offended by the finish line.
• Somewhere during every race there is always one person thinking:
“Maybe I’ll never run again.”
…and then signing up for another race 12 minutes later.
• Most runners naturally breathe in rhythm with their footsteps without realizing it. Your brain basically turns into a metronome.
• Running downhill actually causes MORE muscle damage than uphill because your legs are trying to brake your body the whole time.
Anyway… sounds like the perfect time to sign up for Run the Plank ☠️😂
