How does the Pump N Run work?
Participants will bench press a percentage of their weight for max reps.
Each rep (up to a max of 30) reduces your 5K run time by 30 seconds.
Participants must weigh in on the provided scale the day they are to bench press.

The lifting weight will be rounded to the nearest five pounds.
Only full bench presses are counted. Bar must touch the participant’s chest.
