I haven’t weighed them, but we are guessing they are about 45. – 4 new blocks also. These are old blocks. Heavier than the new blocks – Great to seeSsledge out. He thought he had the Q, found out he didn’t have a plan so he was relieved that I had a plan – Turkey wasn’t all that pleased with the new coupons. He was sad he didn’t have his gloves – Lex was pro-moving all morning. Moving just slow enough that we waited for for him before we moved to the next exercise – Today is my 48th birthday. I screwed that up right away counting to 49, but here’s one to grow on!! – good work put in today. Tried to give Lex some strength after his running yesterday
That’s about it, short on miles heavy on pain!

MilePlan-Week3 Run1

Date: 2024-04-09 AO: swift Q: bratwurst PAX: midriff, Wolverine, flipper, sledge, voodoo, Gump FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: Mosey down to Rushmore and preview the loop for the morning. Dynamic stretching then OYO for about 20 minute total warmup.
THE THANG: converting the MilePlan Week 3 Run 1 workout from distance to MOSTLY time-based intervals to keep the PAX together. 1. 1,000m 4:00 @ 10k pace, w/ 90 sec recovery after each interval 2. 500m 2:00 @ 5k pace, 3. 500m 2:00 @ 5k pace, 4. 200m @ goal mi pace, 5. 400m 1:30 @ 5k pace, 6. 200m @ goal mi pace
20min Easy to make our way back to COT.
Two options when doing these shorter 1mi plan workouts. 1) Give an honest effort (10k, 5k, Mile pace) for the intervals and do the workout as called. 2) Sandbag (see WXW Express) and repeat intervals to fill up the time. #1 if done properly will give you enough hard running for the day. Keeps you ready to do the second called workout of the week (this week is 3x 1000m) and gets in enough warm-up and cool-down time for our 1 hour timeslot. #2 may make you feel better, but if extending the number of intervals without the proper training base, you may be hurting yourself in the long run. Always better (in the long run) to feel like you could do more intervals than to suffer and give an less than your best effort on the final part of the workout.
flipper was in top form from the start today. Pushing the pack on each interval. Wolverine warmed up finally and then blew by the PAX on the second half of the workout. midriff ran his dream mile pace for the 1st 200m at Goal Mile pace, but then perhaps came back to his senses and realized that was not sustainable. Gump either did some extra intervals or the communication wasn’t passed on when to start the intervals and skipped some. voodoo filled us in on his kid’s nerd U in Cleveland that canceled classes for the day, not to party, but to journal and experiment at each stage of the eclipse. sledge was on recovery, but pushed hard for the whole hour and pushed through perhaps one of his first Swift workouts.

Date: 2024-04-09 AO: fast-twitch Q: Cheese Curd PAX: lex_luthor, hopper, Shawn Heath, Benny, geraldo, retread, ductwork, Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), turkey_leg FNGs: None COUNT: 10 Going Strava segment hunting WARMUP: Jog to the fist segment.
THE THANG: Start running segments 1) 51 to Beverly Crest .55 2) Lawton Bluff 400- .27 3) Another 400- .27 4) Bardstown 400- .27 5) Beverly Crest Hill – .13 6) Hugh Forest to Waltham- .15 7) High North- .13 8) Beverly Crest to 51 -.79m 9) Hugh Forest to Brekmore Place- .28
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF COT: thanks to Benny for keeping me on the schedule.
I enjoyed running for segments this when hoover and jrr_tolkien, so I signed up for the free 30 Day Strava Trial and began finding some segments
Harder than it looked to find segments in a row, but overall happy with the plan.
As usually, Shawn Heath starter off slow, but pushed the pace and took a top ten spot from me.
A lot of the crew was tapering for Ville to Ville, so sprinting segments were not high on anyone’s radar.
Hope Benny heals up as I think he pulled something along the way
Appriciate lex_luthor cutting his run short and heading back to launch with Benny
A few others went off and did their own thing. I saw frasier Dosey Doe and fletch at launch, but if you want them pax stats, and you go off on your own, you have to end with the group. turkey_leg and Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff) get the credit.
The plan was 11 segments and according to Strava, I got 9 (we did pass on 2 at the end). Logged about 6.2 miles and hit most of the segments I planned. Not sure why we missed getting credit on the one in Beverly Crest, but we did pick up one more along the way
Good luck to a few running the 100 miler and Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff) running something
Have a great day

Explosive Merkins :
Ran all the way to the nail salon. 5 cones (10 yards apart) – Explosive Merkins. 5 sets . 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. The final 25 was grueling. Everyone stayed strong and pushed hard beyond their limit . :muscle:
Sand Bag Run:
Partnered up. Qty: 6 , Sand Bag 55-60 pound sand bags. . Everyone had a Sand bag partner . wildturkey later disclosed that he and Point Break ran the entire workout without a partner to switch sand bags for a breather. That’s Savage! Sand baggers ran up the hill , switched partners midday after doing 20 Sand bag Squats. Another 20 Sand bag squats at the top of the hill. Everyone looked destroyed.
Back to the Nail salon . Steps up with Sand bags .
Hand picked Big Rocks. (I got there early just to pick out 8 big rocks for lifting and lined them up as a courtesy) Partner runs with Sand bag around island while the other person does Curls, Presses and tricep extensions. Lung walk to the next Cone. 2 times . Runner serves as the timer .
This is what you missed : Unfortunately we Ran out of time :sob:.
Beat crawl pushing rock with right / left hand . Then do wall sits with sand bag on your lap while you hold Rock in front of you at full extension for 3 min!
Quitters must do Sand bag burpees as a penalty.
Everyone pushed hard and were stronger today for it. Great to see vintage Taco_Stand out there and getting it done . I think das_boot was hoping for a Black Diamond work out . It’s coming Das boot and I know you will be attending. :wink:.
