Endless Intervals Entertained Everyone

16 pax (including 1 FNG that works with Udder, but was not EH’d by him) posted at Mountain Goat to improve their running via interval training.

The Thang:

After delivering a thorough disclaimer to the pax, we moseyed down Strawberry to where the road turns to gravel and headed back to the intersection with Rosecliff, where we began dynamic stretching. YHC did his best to remember all of the exercises: heel walking, toe walking, butt kickers, b-skips. I’m sure some were forgotten, but YHC was tired of that craziness, so we huddled at the first speed bump to start our intervals. YHC led the pax (from the middle of the pack) through a series of 200s with 200 recovery and 400s with 200 recovery. Regroup after recovery and wait for the six to come in before starting the next interval. Interval pace should be uncomfortably hard and recovery should be a jog, not a walk. We ran up and down Strawberry until about 6:14 (I have no idea how many intervals), when we headed back to the launch point for name-o-rama and COT. Thanks to Champagne for the takeout.

Moleskine:

  • Welcome to our FNG, Lois. Lois is an editor at the Business Journal and works with Udder, but was EH’d by an Indian Land pax. He was pushing hard all morning and didn’t get discouraged. Thanks to Booyah (nursing an ankle) and Pele for keeping him company. Possible names included Murdoch (thanks Outback), Rupert (YHC), but we settled on Lois, which was suggested by Champagne. He embraced his nickname immediately. Welcome, Lois. We hope you come back out.
  • Thanks to the pax for their patience as YHC Q’d his first running workout. Slim Fast and Strange Brew were kind enough to come up with the weinke and YHC just tried not to screw it up.
  • Strong work by everyone this morning. There were plenty of Larry Birds out there, some of whom were beating Bratwurst, which means they’re probably not pacing themselves properly. Everyone was sweating and there was some mumblechatter, so YHC believes everyone got their money’s worth. Distances ranged from ~4 miles to ~7 miles (Bratwurst). YHC got 5.4 in.

Good job, Voodoo. #FunFriday
WD was Champagne – despite YHC having the same numerical age, I’m sure he’s older.
Great getting back out to MG, after a long absence. Great group.
Welcome, Lois!
