Men of The Fort, we’ve been contained for too long.

No, I’m not talking about shelter in place (although that has been an issue).  I’m not really talking about the solo workouts either (but also a problem).

We’ve been settling for less than we could be physically.

Coming Monday, June 1st, we will be launching a new Monday AO.  This will be in the spirit of Shark Tank/Minnow Pond with an emphasis on accelerating the King every week via pearls-on-a-string/run and gun format.  We will be launching from the Earthfare parking lot on 160 with MP-style AO rules to start:

• No Warm-ups – Come ready to run
• No 10 Counts – Come ready to not stop
• No less than 3 miles – Come ready to cover some ground
• No stopping for the six – Come ready to get faster

I know that last bullet point is going rub some the wrong way, but if we want to see what we can do physically, we need to push the limits.  The Q’s will have a mandate to have a clear route planned for the Pax and communicated by 0510 before launch.  My intent is not to prevent Pax from coming for the workout, but to encourage ALL Pax to come get faster.

I’ll also be picking Q’s based on the leaders of the pack.  Finish in the top three, and you make the list to Q in a coming slot.  If you don’t make it the first week, keep working to achieve #KingStatus.

“It’s simple really. If you want to learn how to run faster, just find a faster man. And chase him until you catch him”

Bring your A game on June 1st.  We’ll see who can make the cut.
