Runch
Run + Lunch. A run squeezed into a lunch break.
What is a Runch?
Runch is the efficient runner's secret weapon. It involves changing, running, showering (hopefully), and eating, all within a 60-minute lunch window.
The Challenges
- Sweat Management: Dry shampoo and baby wipes are essential if there's no shower.
- Time Management: The run itself is usually short (20-30 mins) to allow for logistics.
- The "Red Face": Returning to a meeting looking like a tomato.
