Pre-blast: Bulls on Parade – again

Pre-blast: Bulls on Parade – again

Talkbox created this thing (which means he can’t FS out of it), and it is one of the few workouts that has litrally (intentional misspelling) made me curse…some variation of Love yourself.  We haven’t recycled this one in the six months since, which should tell you something.  In TR parlance, this is about as close to “workout so hard you will surely die” as I’ve experienced, and I don’t believe I’m overselling it in the slightest.  Mileage will be lower than normal, a welcome respite for Sundancer after 4 miles of hills at DMZ, so if you’ve been putting off the challenge of the toughest workout in A51 on Tuesday that meets at an elementary school on Rea Rd, this is the one for you.

THANG

• Partner up and run the HT mile.
• Run past the school to the fire hydrant.  Partner wheelbarrow from the corner hydrant to the gravel lot.
•  Run the gravel path to the playground and perform 10 pull-ups. If you are short on the pull-ups, complete the remaining 10 with hanging knees to elbows, and add 5 for good measure. Complete 20 merkins and 30 (60 total) Russian Twists.
• Run to the track (Bull Ring) to complete the Bull on Parade. Sprint with your partner on the straight a-ways and burpee long jump the corners.
•  Repeat the pain station circuit around the school until time is called and re-run the HT mile.

I can tell you from experience that despite being a short track, the burpee broad jumps grow to suck – a lot….so place some outsized importance on horse-whispering ability in your partner selection.  I had to remind Brushback to breathe last time, which coincidentally may have been the last time he breathed without some form of crup, walking pneumonia, or other lung disease.  It’ll be good to get him back out tomorrow.

Until then…enjoy the YouTube video (link in case it doesn’t insert properly):
