The Goat Climbs the Pyramid but falls on the way down

Mountain Goat pax were greeted with marginally better weather than earlier in the week but sweating was pretty much guaranteed.  A few comments on the pre-blast were made, a short explanation given and off we went for the warm up and The Thang, which went something like this:

Warm up mile – finish at the track

Dynamic stretching

Pyramid

4 – 200M with 200M recovery

2 – 400M with 400M recovery

1 – 600M with 400M recovery (running out of time)

1 – 400M with recovery mosey back to the parking lot

Idea here is to run a consistent pace, slightly slower than a mile time pace.  It might make some of the initial 200M intervals seem a bit easy, strangely getting harder as the distances increase, if we had time to get all the way down the last 200M’s wouldn’t have been nearly so easy as the first ones (you’ll have to take my word for it).

NM:

Some really serious effort displayed out there, Semi-Gloss stating up front he would be the six, he is apparently not very good at numbers as he was the 12 with The Mouth (although The Mouth did pull out the 400M “race” at the last interval) but Semi had his excuses lined up so we’ll see how that goes next time.  Freedom was absolutely powering through out there, wow is he getting fast, on the last 400M he pushed YHC to the end, strong! Pele and Kilowatt found company in the pain box and just got it done, awesome guys.  Mall Cop and Huggy Bear thought the other was pushing the other and that is how it’s done!  A real pleasure and honour to lead and so excited at how this workout is coming along.

Great take out by Semi-Gloss, thanks brother!
