Recapping our early September session with the UW Endurance Club out on the track.
Thank you to everyone who laced up, brought the energy, and put in the work with us. Whether you joined for the coaching drills, logging laps, or simply connecting with fellow runners, your commitment is what makes this community thrive.
A special thank you to Halea Yoga for leading a dedicated post-run recovery session. Taking the time to restore mobility and prioritize intentional cool-down work is just as essential as the mileage itself.

Drop a comment below with your favorite takeaway from the session, or share what distance you are training for this fall. Details on our next club track meet-up are coming soon.

The Whole U UW Endurance Club has over 650 UW employees training for the distance. Some are training for the Seattle half or full marathon. Every month we meet up for a fun coaching session with UWHR Chief of Wellness, Lauren Updyke. One way to improve your fitness is through interval training. These are repeats of “Hard” effort and “Easy” effort. Whether you walk or run try to add some into your next workout or join the club.

What an incredible day at the Harborview Summer Market in July! ☀️💜 (UWMC markets coming in August!)

Hundreds of members of the Harborview community came out to enjoy an afternoon of summer fun, connection and community. We explored local vendors, watched the Blue Angels soar overhead and cooled off with ice cream thanks to the HMC Resiliency Committee! 🍦✈️
