Secret Session: Do a 5k with us, virtually (ft. Vidya Srinivasan)
This is a virtual event. There is no in-person meetup.
Vidya and I will do a 5K (3.1 miles) and go live on Zoom while we move. You do yours wherever you are: your street, a park, a treadmill, a hotel gym. Run or walk, whatever your body says!
About this event
Vidya Srinivasan once struggled to run a single mile.
She has since run six half marathons. She has worked out every week for 200+ weeks straight. And she leads safety at Meta while raising two kids.
Last time, over 500+ of you joined our Secret Session on 200 weeks of workouts. We decided to do it again, and this time we move together.
