When the Flipper’s away, the mackerel will play

Date: 2024-02-13 AO: swift Q: voodoo PAX: Saigon Sam, kirby, wildturkey, Wolverine, bratwurst, das_boot, fleetwood, Gump, voodoo FNGs: None COUNT: 9 I’m not really sure about that backblast title, but it’s all I’ve got this morning.
7 pax met at the AO in the windy gloom. We headed to the Bull Ring on our warm up jog, then did some dynamic stretching. DB and Brat met us there.
Today’s workout is a continuation of Flipper’s monthly theme focused on the closing kick of a race. Pax were instructed to run a series of 800 progressions in which each 200 was :15-:20 per mile faster than the previous one, culminating in the last 200 being at the average pace of the previous week’s fast 200 finishers. Recover with and easy 800 and then repeat.
I think most pax got 4 rounds in.
We don’t do Mary at Swift, but some pax joined the Bagpipes crew for a plank at the end.
