Ruck Club

Leave a comment

We had 6 ruck club members and 5 runners which is a new ruck club historical marker. Thank you to all who made this accomplishment happen. Grateful to your dedication.

Very specific running route instructions were given and none of the 5 runners ran the route. But… fellowship. That happened. So we are good.

Prayers for Karin Ms Double D, those traveling, and dealing with our kids.

We did a quick warmup and we were off.

We moseyed over to the bridge for a thing I like to call the bridge of moderate pain.

11’s: 10 squats, run across the bridge, 1 merkin…and so on and so forth.
Circled up for some Mary
Dora: Partner 1 – 100 CDDs, 200 calf raises, 300 LBCs. Partner 2 – run over to the bleachers and run two flights.

Run back over the bridge for some bench work.
10 Step Ups
10 Dips
10 Incline Merkins

Back to COT for Mary, announcements, prayers, & praises.

From the start we ran to the first cone for 20 reps each of shoulder tap merkins, monkey humpers, box cuttahs, and plank jacks then ran back to the start. From there we ran to the second cone for dips, squats, flutters and Mike Tyson’s. Back to start then to cone three for CDD, bomb jacks, American hammers, SSH. Ran to start then on to cone four for merkins, calf raises, BBS, and burpees. (20 reps for each exercise at each cone)
Quick mozy back to start then we ran to the top of the hill and partnered up. At the top of the hill, each partner did three burpees then ran to opposite sides of the hill for 50 reps each of the selected exercise. After each exercise they ran back to the top for three burpees with their partner. Rinse and repeat with SSH, LBCs, Merkins, Squats, Overhead claps, CDD.
Mozy back to COT with a stop to pickup all the cones.
