Run Slow to Run Fast

12 PAX started their Friday off on the right ~~hoof~~ foot for this week’s installment of Mountain Goat. We kicked things off with a mosey to the end of Strawberry Lane, switched to dynamic stretching, and then embarked on our journey through Bevington. We alternated between periods of hard running and recovery for the majority of the workout, working our way to Rea, 51, and back to Strawberry. The finale consisted of 3 x 200M AYG with equidistant recovery.

Great work by everyone today trying something a bit different and less structured than you typically experience at Mountain Goat.
Tolkien was tapering for Savage Race, but that didn’t stop him from dusting everyone on the 200M sprints. It was truly a Usain Bolt-like performance.
YHC encountered Insomniac around 0550 after having not seen him the entire morning. He was a minute or so late arriving and searched in every direction for us, except for the one we actually went.
Great to see The Mouth back at MG just in time for BRR training season.
Drano established a new vertical leap PR avoiding a dead snake in the road. Or was it a stick?
Slim Fast sang a few lines from a Van Halen song.

Thanks Retread for leading and the shoutout for SPEED-FOR-NEED.

Had the AYG been downhill my $ would have been on the Mouth. And if it were a blindfolded run, my ankles would be gone in about 10 steps. Amazing what Sensei does week in and week out and TCLAPS to Slim Fast and others for guiding him.

Sensei’s ankles were nearly gone when I inadvertently kicked a large stick off my shin and directly into Sensei’s step! Serious crisis averted!!

But you are correct, Tolkien…. it is amazing what he does!

Thanks for the leadership on the Speed For Need… it is going to be awesome!!
