Run to first road….back down. Run to second road….back down. Run to top…..back to swimming pool. Run to COT. We did do exercises at each stop including Burpees. ( In truth, was my birthday so didn’t write the backblast until 3/1…so forgot)

Punishment for missing free throws

WARMUP: the 0445 pre-run

THE THANG:
Shuttle runs
Using the rows in the parking lot (~20m apart) numbered 0-5, starting at 0, shuttle run to 1, return to 0. Run to 2, back to 0, etc until Pax got to 5, then start over from 1.

First 3 rounds (1 round being shuttle run through 1-5)
Burpees everytime you came back to 0. The number of burpees were equal to the number of the row you ran to.

Second 3 rounds were jump squats following the same rules as the burpees but by a factor of 4.

Last 3 rounds were 4 SC mountain climbers x the number of the row you ran to.
Those that finished before 6, did shuttle runs with no exercises.

Every 3 rounds was just over 1 mile.

Moderately Rucking

Leave a comment

Messaged Divac Monday to let him know the black diamond workout was gonna have to wait until my hips and legs would allow me to bend over again…. apparently I forgot I wasn’t in high school anymore and tried to lay down some fast times at Dam2Dam over the weekend. Paying for it this week.

WARMUP: rucks off – SSH, IW, broga things, MtnClimbers

THE THANG:
rucks on and walk circle, ending up at the tiered walkways next to baseball field.

At end of each tier, perform groups of exercises IC.

merkins/squats, thrusters, curls, sumo high pulls, OH press, bent over rows

Return back to circle and continue doing laps, stopping for OYO exercises at various points along circle with stretches of using ruck to do rifle carries.

total of just over 2.5 miles with lots of great mumblechatter along the way.

COT: announcements/prayers/praises

Thanks for the nod Divac – black diamond next time

Hill repeat Monday

Leave a comment

At 0515, YHC told the PAX there is no warm up we were ready to roll and headed out toward Gold Hill Middle. It was supposed to be a mosey, but was more running.

At the first parking lot we counted off and gave a very bastardized disclaimer- basically modify as necessary and you should read the disclaimer on the website.
From there I explained what the workout was,;
25 merkins at the school, then head up the hill to the bank, do 25 Freddy Mercurys (4 count- like in cadence), then back to school and rinse/repeat until 0600.

Most got in 4-5 rounds and all got in at least 3.5 miles.

COT: lots of announcements and prayers – I was oxygen deprived so I don’t recall them at this point 🤦🏼‍♂️

4 before D2DB10K

Leave a comment

Couldn’t make the D2DB10k time slot, so we ran it early. Fish dropped us off at the starting point and headed back to meet us at the finish after some rehab work on his calf.

Bandlands is fast and brought coffee.

Maximus stuck with YHC and I ran faster for it.

Esso proved the master of his back.

a long ways from varsity

Leave a comment

a few PAX arrived early to get some extra credit before 0515 start. It was a chilly morning with icy spots around campus this morning.

Dam2DamnBar is tomorrow so this workout was designed to get PAX primed and ready to run fast times at the race.

WARMUP:
dynamic – including high knees, toy soldiers, butt kickers, walking lunges

circled up for (IC) WMs, arm circles, OH claps

continued the dynamic warmup with karaoke variations on the way to the pullup bars.

3 rounds of Cindy (5pullups, 10merkins, 15 squats) to finish off the warmup

THE THANG:
Mosey towards backside of Sugar Creek Elementary and get on FarmHouse Dr out towards the big abandoned skyscraper and then back.

every 1/4 mile stop and plank for 6. Once 6 was in perform IC exercise (mostly merkins but sometimes squats when too many cars passing by) and then perform a different stretch/broga type movement

total of about 2.5 miles of running

MARY: about 1.5 minutes worth of Low slow squats to get us to 0600.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
PAX continue their acceleration and making good progress on weight loss goals

COT:
prayers for D2DB runners and volunteers this weekend

Bodywash- I remember running with you at Clydesdales before I knew what to think of F3. You were the first to schedule me for a Q and really helped me get comfortable in this group. STL got my VQ but Varsity was my first bootcamp Q – Appreciate you and the awesome job you have done managing the site.
