Amazeballs Mud Run Training – Frozen Edition

Amazeballs Mud Run Training – Frozen Edition

At Ickey’s personal request YHC threw down the 2nd edition of the mud run training at Olympus.  It’s always a good time to lead the strong men of Olympus down the path less travelled on a Saturday morning.

Warm up:

Bring KB’s to main lot, run to sidewalk and back to knock the frost off the legs.  Circle up for:  25x SSH IC, 20x IW IC, and 25 2-handed KB Swings OYO.

The Thang:

Partner up, size and speed does not matter.

Catch me if you can.  10 Merkins and chase the P1 farmer carrying the KB’s out to light on 51.  Drop the KB’s and run down to Carmel Baptist, south end of the baseball field.

Well – what do we have here…. A retaining wall and some monster tractor tires someone left behind.

Everyone does 10 climb ups on the retaining wall and head to tires.

First team carries 2 small tires each to the woods and back (60 yards)

Other 3 teams pick one of the 3 large tires and rotate flipping them.

Rotate through so each team hits all tire stations.

10 more climb ups on the retaining wall.  Head back to KB’s with a little weave up and down the hill next to the baseball field.

CMIYC KB’s with 10 Merkins to school’s 2nd entrance.  Drop KB’s and keep running.  From this road sign to that intersection – bear crawl.  It didn’t look that far standing up, but way to far on the bear crawl.  Solid job by the PAX grinding it out and Fletch flying through it.  Keep running on down the road and take a left down the hill to the walking path.

Down the path – stopping for Burpees because the Marine said we failed an obstacle.  Do the weave through the split rail fence and shuffle across the bridges with feet on one railing and hands on the opposite railing.

At the park teams did the following:

Team 1 – climb up and over the monkey bars (the side way) 2x per PAX.

Teams 2-4 – Derkins with feet on the swing.

Rotate and change to raised split squats – left leg on swing.

Rotate and change to raised split squats – right leg on swing.

Rotate and complete whichever exercise your team has not already done.

Return the way we came, except this time the Marine made us do 8-count body builders instead of burpees.

At Laurel Fork Drive run half way up, back to trail, then all the way up.

Run back to KB’s at school entrance and carry them back locked out overhead.

In the middle of all the running we planked, LBC’ed, squated, calf raised, and other various activities while waiting on the six.

Out of time.

Moleskine:

Always fun to lead the “follow me” themed workouts you get to make up on the run based on how the PAX are feeling, and the Olympus PAX were feeling strong today.  The tires at Carmel Baptist were a great find.  One of them, I’ll call Gargantuan is the biggest tire I have seen in Area 51, certainly a solid challenge for a one man flip.

Laurel Fork Drive also rates up their as one of the worst hills in Area 51 and used way to little due to both Elizabeth Ln workouts being gear focused.  It really needs it’s own nickname if it doesn’t already have it.

It was a great crew out there this morning.  A lot of craziness and all just followed along like any other day at F3 – brothers always up for the challenge.

Thanks for the send off by Young Love.
