Swift will launch this week on Tuesday at 0515 from the Vine parking lot in the Ballantyne AO. We’ll be using the 5K course (click for map) from the recent IS Cancer Run to have a little fun with a mini-10K of our own. However, the longest interval will be less than 1mile and total miles will be less than 6.2 for all PAX.

12 of #F3Area51’s finest PAX took to the new AO at Marvin Ridge HS/MS on Wednesday morning. As this is an official #bootcamp, work needs to begin on the #ShovelFlag. As for now, the #VSF was planted.

19 PAX took on unfamiliar territory at a Fast Twitch / Swift convergence. Location was the Community House Middle School track. In the End, 18 PAX had Personal Records in the mile today. Amazing! It takes a lot of guts to come to a workout where you get “rated”. In the end, it’s all about #ironsharpensiron.

We are undertaking the “southern most” AO in Area51 / Union County starting tomorrow on 10/22 @ 0530. This will be a soft launch with an ACTUAL Bootcamp Workout Q’d by YHC (#VirginQ). Full launch with FNGs on 10/29.
This location is less than 10 minutes from Blakeney Shopping Center, Indian Land, and Weddington.
Address is Marvin Ridge High School – 2825 Crane Rd, Waxhaw, NC 28173
We will be parking at the STAR in the image below. This is in the High School Parking lot near the main stadium entrance. Use the driveway indicated by the Green Arrow. Do not use entrances marked with the big red circles because they won’t allow you to drive where you need to be.
Swift launched with 7 PAX at 0515 from the temporary AO of the Community House Middle School. Goal was a little recon and hopefully a #SoarOnWingsLikeEagles workout.

LOCATION CHANGE!
Swift will be launching from Community House Middle School (9500 Community House Rd.,Charlotte, NC 28277) for the next two weeks only. This location is less than 3 miles from the normal meeting place at the Vine. Park in the bus lot on the track side of the school. Use the northern entrance.
This week, we’ll be prepping for the 10/21 Mile Time Trial (Preblast http://ift.tt/1yQTqjl) and getting in a workout at the same time. The workout of the day is the “Eric Liddell” – 200s and 400s at your 1 Mile race pace. Don’t know the workout – check the inagural Swift preblast at http://f3nation.com/2014/04/21/f3swift-preblast that is complete with Chariots of Fire highlights.
Exact format is rounds of:
On Tuesday, October 21st, at 0515, PAX from the South Area will converge at Community House Middle School (9500 Community House Rd.,Charlotte, NC 28277) to run an all-out timed mile. It doesn’t just stop there, you’ll get a full bootcamp or Running workout afterwards – choose your own pill.
Why run a timed Mile? Well, hopefully it answers one of these questions for you.
The Agenda for the day:

7 PAX launched into the Gloom at 5:15 today for the weekly Running Interval workout known as Swift.

Swift will launch at 0515 from the Ballantyne AO at the Vine restaurant. Post Mud Run, this is a perfect opportunity to stretch out those sore muscles and get back to running without sand in your shorts or mud in your shoes.
Mile repeats are a staple for building endurance with speed, but they can be grueling and intimidating. How about something shorter, but still a challenge? We’ll be out at the “Bull Ring” using a unique format for something near Half Mile repeats – 3:15 run at 10K pace, 0:45 jog to regroup. If you have a watch with a simple timer, set it for 3:15 and countdown / repeat.
