Road to the restoration of relavence

Road to the restoration of relavence

It’s time the people got what they want from FT: An hour of AYG sprints up/down the nastiest hills in the 704, 6+ miles, and minimal exercises.

Shortly before the hashtag #MakeFastTwitchRelaventAgain started trending, over the last 6-8 weeks, some courageous hooligans took the wheel and started easing the ship back on course. #FastTwitchSwagger What’s in a preblast? A transparent glimmer of the horror to come. An easy way out or a gut check. Read on for what you need to know tomorrow:

To calculate the pace you’ll be running tomorrow, pull out your old TI-83 graphing calculator (or binary abacus for you old dudes). Turn on the calculator. Replace dead batteries. Find a small philips screwdriver and some new AAA batteries. Unscrew battery cover. Remove old batteries. Discard old batteries. Insert new batteries. Replace battery cover. Turn on calculator. Turn off calculator. Place calculator back in drawer. Put on running shoes. Run hard. Run fast. Haven’t put this method to test, but TL says it works.

Wear running shoes. We will be running. Don’t wear gloves, you won’t need them. Probably won’t even do a single merkin. If you’re into headlamps and vests, wear that – your call. We’ll be on sidewalks and streets the whole time.

The Thang:

• Mosey to speedbump at base of windbluff. AYG up to cartpath crossing at top of Windbluff. Repeat x3
• Regroup at speedbump
• #AYGtoProvidence
• Regroup at Windbluff/Providence stop sign
• Timed mile: Up Providence (Windbluff to Raintree)
• Regroup at Raintree/Providence stop sign – Mary til the 6 gets in
• Recovery mosey down Raintree Ln to 1st Latin entrance on left. U-turn at Latin entrance for #AYGtoProvidence. Repeat x3
• Mosey to 4 way stop at 4MC, continue left down 4MC to speed bump – Mary til the 6 gets in
• AYG up 4MC to Raintree Ln. Repeat x3 – recovery mosey on the downs
• Regroup at 4 way stop til the 6 gets in
• Mosey to Rounding Run/Raintree Ln stop sign
• Indian run to base of Woodfox
• AYG to Strawberry

Total: ~6.5mi

Important: We’ll depart 4MC to head back to campus at 6:03am. Know your pace. It’s 1.3 mi from 4MC back to the school. Modify the repeats from 3 to 2 and get a head start back if needed.

You’ll be there, or you won’t. If you are, you’ll only regret it for 1 of the 24 hours tomorrow – that’s like 4% of your day. Also about the equivalent percentage of correct picks on Purple Haze’s bracket.

Saddle up,
