The Green isn’t Grass

Date: 2025-07-29 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: flipper, gumbo, Wolverine, Hippie, kirby, madison, Gump, soft_pretzel FNGs: None COUNT: 9 WARMUP: around and around the Brixham “Green”, which… Is a fake grass (turf) green. We tried the warm-up drills on the Green, but don’t think it’s a keeper. Softer than pavement, but just a little too weird perhaps.
THE THANG: – 3 rounds of 200m run, recover back to start, 200m run, recover back to start, 400m run, shorter recovery (about the same time as the 400m run) over to start the next round. – 1.5mi Progression Run where the goal was to run each 0.5mi lap 10 seconds faster each time (or 5 seconds faster for each half lap – your estimate). With time compressed to keep the goal of getting to COT on time (normal format is 2.0mi), most PAX started way too fast at 8-9:00/mi pace for the first lap, which meant 2nd lap was at least 7:40, and third lap was 7:20. Many dipped lower. Tough in this heat.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Most Chicken Run and Paper Trail will be converging to Horsey Half Marathon on Saturday, however, at least tuck will keep the :chicken: :runner: alive.
COT: Gump reminded us that each moment of life is precious and use the opportunities presented to share the “Good News” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Props to kirby and others who head lock kotters into coming back out. YHC took us out.
