Indian Run Continues at the Maul

A huge crowd of 18een Chiefs report  @ the Maul for their regular dose of pain.  I will update the post as soon as the missing Chief reply with his name, I appreciate it to keep the story straight ;>)….

 

The Thang:

 

Warmup

30 Side straddle hops

30 Imperial Walker

Mosey to the back wall of the Movie theater

First Indian run Style Balls to the Wall, and the first person runs all the way to the back, every Chief walk on their hands to the front of the line until everyone gets back to their original position.

 

The twist YHC recomended for the overachievers to do push ups standing on balls to the wall, the Crowds decided better, once each Chief got to the back of the line, they did merkins as the line would come back full circle (The drill looked better in paper)…..

 

COP:

Mosey to the hill of the parking lot next to the movie theater for some Jack Webb (Ladder up to 10 count, 1 Merkin, 4 Arm raises…..)

Mosey to Murderhorn,

One Serie at the top:

5 Burpees

10 Dips

15 Quads

Indian Run style Lounge walk to the bottom of Murderhorn, and the one coming to the front will run backward.

Again it looked better in paper, by the last light pole before the bottom we switched to regular indian run

2nd Series at the bottom

10 Merkins

20 LBCs (Chipotle call for a nice relaxing exercise)

30 Burpees (to compensate for Chipi’s request).  At the end everyone was looking for YHC to complete his 30 (not bad YHC completed 15 while all the overachievers of course completed 30s)

Regular Indian run to the top.

Mosey to the Parking lot next to the Movie theater for some Mary’s

 

Circle up and Mary’s with a Twist, the one who call for the exercise and the one next to him will run a lap around the parking lot while everyone else will do the exercise (indian run style)….

 

Plenty of mumble chatter regarding the exercises that were left hanging while the one calling it were taking a cup of tea and hanging around the parking lot before running it to get to the circle…..

Heels to Heaven
Mason Twists
Flutter
J-Lo
Dying Cockroach
Six Inches
Dolly
12 Inches
As YHC was preparing for a last indian run and turn over the lead for a Plank-o-rama to Mighty Mite, our Plank-o-rama fearless leader had better plans in mind for the last five minutes
Just when it look the worst pain was over we all just realized the first 40 minutes where a big warm up for the grand finale
and it was:
Bear Crawl/Merkin Ladder up to 12 and then the Burpee Suicides up to 7
Moleskin:
Great Job to everyone, and thanks Mighty Mite for reminding me that It will take me more than a year to get some where close to your fitness condition, (if I ever get there ;)…..
Hope every Chief enjoyed the pain…..
Happy Holidays,
Until the next one!

Udder great job with the Arms and Leg protractor.  That was pretty cool.

Thanks for letting me Q again.  Hope everyone got your 45minutes of morning pain…..

Happy Holidays.

Indian Run Love

Indian Runs are a great way to start workouts at the beginning of the season. Some of the benefits of Indian Runs are as follows:

  1. Individual gets introduced to running faster for a short period of time at a slower than speed session pace. It is important to slowly introduce running faster due to the fact that most runners have been running easy to moderate miles all summer.
  2. Team gets to run together for an entire workout. This helps build important bonds within the team. During the run, everyone can encourage the trail runner as they move to the front.
  3. Race tactics are introduced. It has been said that the one who wins the race is the one who can surge and recover the fastest. Indian Runs are a good way to teach how to surge and recover.
  4. Indian Runs can be conducted anywhere. All you need is open space of any size or terrain. Most beneficial for coaches are areas where you can see the team at all times.

The Thang (or what I can recall of it)

Run to the back parking lot:

Warm up:

  • 30 Side straddle hop
  • 30 Imperial Walker
  • 20 Merkins
  • 20 Mountain Climbers

Indian Backward run with a twist, the last person run to the front regular back and forth the parking lot.

Indian run karaoke style, the last person run to the front regular back and forth the parking lot.

Indian run lounge walk, the last person run to the front knee high back and forth butt kicks

I forgot if we run another round…..

Circle Up: for Marys each person lead one mary and the person leading run back and forth the parking lot, everyone else do burpees then switch to Merkins or your preference

Donkey Kong mandated to do everything in series of 20s. Burpess count on your own, switched with merkins as well on your own.

  • Back Scratcher
  • Bicycles
  • Dollys
  • Flutter
  • LBCs
  • Rozalitas
  • Heels to heaven
  • X Cross Fit (DK great excercise)
  • Parker Peters
  • Jack Webb up to 10 merkins and 40 arm presses

Mosey to the school wall.

When everybody was comfy, Q decided to do Balls to the Wall.

What a nice 20 countdown!

Peoples chair, with Arms high, and we finally got on overtime.

Mosey to the main parking lot, and Wingman shouted Jailbreak, heck yeah! we jail break!

Moleskin
The weather was a great 60 degrees (did I say on my last backblast that’s about as low as it gets in the tropic?  it was great)

It seems like more than one Chief decided to run to the back of the parking lot more like a walk, because those burpees where hurting a lot!

Mighty Might reminded us how good is to be Aye again, by only doing burpees while circle up, rather than switching to Merkins as all of us Old people…..

YHC did not bring a watch as usual, did not even remember it was his commitment to Q the session. Hopefully everybody got enough pain to come back for more!.

Happy Holidays. Thanks for letting me Q.
