11 men attended the weighted stroll this morning. We made our way around town finding a hill at the bottom of Harris. Backwards walk up the hill, trek around WEP and one last look at the downtown XMAS lights

Training Ground – Heavy Style

Leave a comment

So, it started as an idea for a nice, or heavy, Sunday ruck before Church. Well, it’s now turned into a morning staple for some. I’ll tell you this, I always walk away grateful. Grateful that Crystal Lake was willing to make this official. Grateful that the hour ALWAYS includes laughs, even teenage boy humor. Grateful that we typically have a few “real” conversations and today was no different. To land the plane, I started the day, grateful.
WARMUP: Sure. It included rucking up and 5 of the 9 PAX grabbed a sandbag, too. We’d rotate on/off the sandbags every 6mins unless I forget, of course.
THE THANG: I don’t remember all the roads traversed but we started by making our way to WEP then meandering our way to “Gun Shop Hill” where everyone had the opportunity to walk down and “KLAW” (walk backward) up the hill with ruck & sandbag. We then made our way around our farming village some more and even made it back to the hill for a repeat of the walk/klaw experience.
MARY: Nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Register for the Christmas Party if you haven’t and you’re still reading.
COT: Yes.

No Rules Just Right

Each person loaded up with a ruck and a sandbag. Short walk, uploaded weight. Partnered up, took turns carrying two rucks, two sandbags while other partner ran.
Rugby sprints – exercises then run fast
Short mosey to school. exercises performed while other partner ran the hill.
Finish strong: partner 1 carried all weight up the hill while partner 2 ran up the hill. Flapjack.
Ruck back to COT
