🏃
Partners time each other running for 10 seconds, counting cones passed to establish baseline pace for longer challenges
🏃
Partners measure maximum 10-second sprint performance then explore sustainability concepts
🏃
A sustained endurance run where students learn pacing strategies and build cardiovascular fitness over 3 minutes of continuous movement
