Preblast – Taper Freeplay

Preblast – Taper Freeplay

Lots of folks focused on BRR, many already tapering. For those not or on the fence, tomorrow will be taper friendly but not easy. Running one of my old favorites – The Escalator.

Partner up – size, life goals, favorite Ninja Turtle – doesn’t matter. Speed may.

Run the HT mile and continue to the playground.

Partners alternate between set and active recovery.

Sets consist of pull-ups, 2x merkins, 3x LBCs. Increase by 1 each set up to 11 and back down. For example, set 7 would be 7 pull-ups, 14 (2 x 7) merkins, and 21 (3 x 7) LBCs.

This is a really simple concept that no one seems able to grasp when tired.  In 6th grade math language, it’s a repeated series of n, 2n, 3n where n increases by 1 each time.  This typically devolves into Montessori-like Free Play #chooseyourownadventure

Recovery exercises will be Mtn Climbers up to set 11 and Flutters on the way back down. No squats = Taper friendly

When finished, or at 6:07, run the HT mile again. First one back leads Mary

Based on prior runnings at Freedom, someone should finish around 6:10.
