Fast Break

18 men took a break from the long mileage FT workouts of late for some old-school “Classic” Fast Twitch this morning…

The Thang:

  • Depart promptly from SCMS at 5:15
  • Warmup run to ABC Store at Arbo
  • COP then break into 3-man groups for grinders
    • Merkins/Burpees
    • Squats/MHs
    • Diamonds/Dollies
  • Mosey up past HT to Walmart right thru alley past concrete blocks to Willow Point; 10 merkins at each speedbump
  • Run to studio building at corner of Willow Point and Raintree; stop at Horse Chestnut for merkins
  • Partner up: P1 runs long suicide: speedbump, Horse Chestnut, end of road; P2 does exercise, then lap up the stairs (10 merkins, 10 squats, 10 flutters); continue until relieved by P1; flapjack
  • At 6:05, re-group for mary, followed by IR back to school
  • Mary back at school: Louganis x15, FM x25

Mileage: 4.1 – 5.4, depending on how many suicides completed.

Moleskine:

  • Due to YHC’s nagging knee injury, we went old-school today for the lower mileage option in classic Fast Twitch style, and filled the time with extra exercises; even had time for mary at the end
  • Somehow the preblast resulted in an email explosion that included photos of Keisha and a shaved chihuahua… if you weren’t on that, be thankful.
  • Great to see all the regulars out there today, and a few faces who have been in/out over the past several weeks.
  • As usual, we had the speed burners out in front – Mr. Brady, Gerber, About Time, Alf, Hairball.  Although the rest of us we’rent far behind.  Tight bunch today.
  • Welcome Witch Doctor – first time poster at FT.  Even though you claim not to be a runner, you sure seem to be up front today.  Hope to see you back soon.  I see more mileage in your future.
  • Thanks for the great take-out from Chelms
  • Always a pleasure to get back to my roots with the clan at Fast Twitch

I haven’t been to FT since November….and now I remember why. Just awful! That said, great lead TL!

You should probably specify the year

So much I could say… But I won’t.

The highlight of FT today was @chelmz’ “what are those?” comment to @ph on his Joey Crawford shoes #classic

I think they may be weight lifting shoes from planet fitness yesterday.

As usual, that was awful. TL is too kind as I was not “bunched up” with leaders or the middle for that matter. Have not been running long distances much and now I know how far I have to go to keep up with the FT PAX.

Actually was a little jealous of PH with those one of a kind shoes. Added bonus for him is that he probably only paid $10 for them = #thriftyCPA

Gentlemen, the shoes are the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15, in the sleek all black. It’s the top of line stability shoe. And it speaks to my athleticism and sophistication, a combination unknown to most of you. Also, I’m under contract to wear them.

The Brooks Adrenaline is a solid shoe. I worked at Omega Sports for nine years and I sold a LOT of all black Acics and Brooks….. to UPS drivers

That’s what I meant by “under contract”

Zero percent chance Brown reads a FT BB and could confirm this
