14 PAX tackled Mountain Goat despite the cooling temperatures. The workout was simple, but generated a great deal of O2 depletion. Having disclaimed, we did the following:
The Thang1. Warm-up jog down Strawberry Ln and back to track; stretch on track
2. Using R-Pace (just slightly slower than your Mile pace, and faster than I-Pace), run 400m, then recover 400m. Do that for 8 R-Pace 400m.
3. Finished with some stretching.
5-6 miles covered, although the frontrunners might have covered a bit further.

I say it every week… but you guys are awesome! Everyone keeps getting stronger and stronger! I know you guys are running further and faster every time you come out!
Thanks to Bratwurst for the clarity on the program today. I wanted us to do 400’s with 400 recovery as a bit of a change to 200-400-600-800… Bratwurst clarified that if you are going to include the 400m recovery, you should target your R (Repetition) -Pace vs. your I (Interval)-Pace.

Enter your time for a specific distance, like timed mile, 5K, 10K, etc… then use the “Training” tab to see what a target Repetition and/or Interval pace would be.
Special t-claps to Freedom who took an extra lap to make sure he hit the 5mi distance!
We never saw our Ruck colleagues Geraldo and Zombie emerge from the gloom… hopefully they are ok!
