Bagpipe – Some Early Mud Run Training

Bagpipe – Some Early Mud Run Training

16 men made the good post-Labor Day decision to post at Bagpipe this week.  Here is what we did.

(Disclaimer given) The Thang:

Mosey to the Courtyard parking lot for warm-up: 15 IW, 10 8-count burpees, 15 squats (all IC).  2 minutes of merkins: OYO go for personal best.

Mosey to the pond for “1 mile obstacle course.”  3 laps and change around the pond.  Obstacles/pain stations are: 20 jump ups at 1st wall, 20 dips on picnic benches, bear crawl up hill, 20 decline merkins at 2nd wall.  Mermaid led Mary for the early finishers while waiting for the rest of the PAX.

Down to the exercise trail and split into 3 groups.  Group 1: personal best for pull-ups, Group 2: burpees, Group 3: supine pull-ups.  Rotate and do the circuit twice, with the pull-up group acting as a “pacecar.”  I won’t lie, this did not go seemlessly.

Mosey back to parking lot.  Pair up for personal best sit-ups (1 minute).  Then mountain climbers x 20, merkins x 10, LBCs x 20.  Back to launch and 5 burpees OYO to wrap it up.

Announcements: Mud-run sign-ups close Sept 12!  Get signed up then get focused on training.
