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: Disclaimer and mosey around the Lowes campus. Circle up in about the middle of the parking lot for COP

THE THANG:
COP (all in cadence)
SSH x 20, windmill x 10, squat x 20, merkin x 7/hold/drop to elbows/regular to mountain climber x 15/hold/elbows, LBC x 20, small and large arm circles CW and CCW

Mosey to the parking lot lines and form a single line along one line. Lunge walk to the opposite side and do a burpee ladder from 1-5. Repeat the ladder backwards with backward lunging.

Mosey to the grassy hill by the gas station for Jacob’s ladder. 5 reps up the hill with bombjacks at the top counting to 5

Retrun to the parking lot and pair up. Wheelbarrow about 20 yards and do 10 partner merkins (handclaps). Flapjack and return to the start. Rinse and repeat

Circle up for the <@UJGS2BBQD> killer hip routine (7 reps ea).

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Sign up for Ft Mill Care Center Lawn Duty. It’s summertime and the grass is growing. Get a partner and get it done – easy duty. Tortoise and Hare this weekend and Hog and Coyote (Rock Hill) next weekend for you CSAUP enthusiasts. Read your newsletter!

COT:
Prayers for family traveling, praise for young children’s birthdays.

Each AO has a distinct vibe. Slow Burn has a relaxed vibe because it’s well-lit, it’s moderate, which encourages (I think) more mumble chatter, and it’s on Fridays so the Pax are excited for the weekend ahead. It’s usually a fun workout and even more fun to Q it. I enjoyed the Q this morning, and I met some guys today in person, who I have only seen on Slack video (<@U07LMG5PDQU>, <@U08BNRBQ9D1>). The pax were in good spirits, and it was a pleasure to lead them. The rain stayed at bay, but we did have <@U08G28Z7E> today (see how I did that). Thank you again, <@U04M7P605SM> for the invite, and I look forward to the next one.
