The hills are moist

Leave a comment

Steady rain all morning

4 PAX pre-ran starting at 0445 – crossed 160 and around new kingsley loop and then back across 160 and around lake loop – back at 0510 for a bit of stretching and mumblechatter

7 runners and 2 ruckers departed at 0515.

runners route – Left on Munn, Left into FMHS campus. Most PAX stopped for 4 solid hill sprints up the hill that leads down to get vehicles down to the track/field. Continued through campus and popped out onto Harris St. Ran downhill from there to Harris St park where we veered Left onto the paved path toward WEP. At WEP, we did a couple more hill sprints and let the 6 join back with the pack. continued Left on 160 back to COT.

All runners got 3.7, some got closer to 5.

More thoroughbreds today than clydesdales. Maybe clydesdales are sensitive to rain?

Thanks for the opportunity to lead us this morning Rolloff.

This is moderate, right?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: run, shuffle, toy soldier, high knee, butt kicker, bear crawls, low slow squats, merkins, mountain climbers
THE THANG: run to the back parking lot and go to the middle by the basketball hoops.

I tell the guys this workout is from a moderate workout back in June 2020…which I don’t think I treated it as moderate back then.

Point out 4 corners about 40 yards from the center. At each corner, start with 5, then come to middle for 1 burpee, then to the next corner for 5, back to center for 1, until you hit all corners and center. Then go up to 10 at each corner and back to center for 2 burpees…and so on. Do this increase of 5 at corners and then keep adding burpees until 25 at the corners and 5 burpees in the center.

4 corners were: ranger merkins, knee jumps, American hammers, CDD.

It was a crowd pleaser and took pretty much the full time. We picked up the 6 so some guys got some bonus which was nice and we did the last round of 25s and 5 burpees as a group.
MARY: Did some round robin Mary

Preparedness at the Coaches Box

Leave a comment

Weather was 32 degrees and chilly but the lights were on and YHC was prepped for a Q to discuss Jester and Preparedness

Simply defined, the Jester is temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is a stumbling block that a man continuously trips over in his effort to become a Pro.

The Jester tells a man several lies including:

1. You are the boss of me
2. You are what you do
3. You are not a bad guy
4. Jester and Virtue can coexist
5. You can’t live, if living is without me

But the antidote to the Jester is preparedness, preparing for what is expected and what is unexpected. The addition of love to this preparation leads to diminishing the Jester. But it is a battle that a Man must fight throughout his life.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the front of FMHS
