You Don’t Lick Them!

Leave a comment

4 runners: NASA, Double D, Sprocket, Cubbie
4 ruckers: BassOMatic, Fogarty, Crab Cakes, and THE Twister
WARMUP: Yes, mother nature warmed things up for us, a very swampy 78 deg start at 0515.
THE THANG:
The ruckers went off holding hands and singing camp songs, while the runners went to the lot between the football field and the school. It was partially under construction but still provided a 400m loop where we did pyramid Fartleks:
5 min easy warmup run, then hit the intervals:
2 min hard, 1 min off
3 min hard, 1 min off
4/1
5/2
Then back down
5/2, 4/1, 3/1, 2/1
Then a 3-4 min cool down run to COT, where the ruckers met us along the way there.
Everyone crushed it, even though it felt like we were running inside a steam sauna. Zero air movement too. We all left some water weight behind.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter and get involved!
COT: mentioned Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month again and had a brief discussion on that. Lifted up P&P.

Speed work is the way to becoming a better runner. It is not just for sprinters, and it does more than just improving your average run pace. Endurance, leg strength, lung capacity, VO2, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, threshold limits, and more all benefit from speed work. Ideally it is done regularly in ones running plan, like monthly or bi monthly. You won’t expand your limits unless you push your limits.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
SYITG and Blessings,
NASA

WARMUP: Cyclops kindly warmed up the Pax as YHC was coming in hot after doubling down
THE THANG: Moseyed to the field next to the park, laid out the Starfish workout, the 5 arms were counts of 15 each and they were: Swing Crunches, BBSU, Singlet Merkin (crowd favorite), Squats (real ones not Twerks) and flutters, count one leg. Each time we can back to the center of the Starfish it was 3 Burpees, rinse and repeat 3X (Total of 45 reps of each exercise). We then moseyed to the parking lot, bottom of the hill we did a decelerator, 3 exercises, started at reps of 25 then 15 and 5, exercises were LBC, Merkins and Seal Jacks. Between each set run to the top of the hill, jump and smack the stop sign (Minute Man didn’t have to jump!)

Per Lamar Jackson on your excuses: “No one cares, work harder!”

YHC was a bit off from the later start time but good to have some built in “disruption” on occasion to build our durability.

The message left with the PAX with was:
The best fruits of this life are an unstained character and acts for the common good. As leaders, what are we doing to cultivate the former and initiate the latter?

Thanks for the call <@U78QN5XU5> . :eye:
