Some days are fun, some are long, and some are just about knocking out what needs to get done. Hill work is never fun, but it needs to be done to get better. To that end, 10 dedicated pax came out this morning for 5 FULL ON sprints up Saluda and a bit of downhill …
YHC is hoping that the low numbers at Ramble this morning are a reflection on P200 and not some sort of mass boycott of my workouts…….but after you have Q’d the infamous inner city trail run, the run of the railroad trestle, the Burpee record, and yesterday’s plank-o-rama, word get around. Today was more of …
Hard to say what was stronger today, the mumble-chatter or the effort put forth by the Pax. But in the end 11 strong braved the 2nd incarnation of Leg-o-rama with good spirits and all teeth intact (after Big Boy Box Jumps). YHC took the opportunity to debut a few exercises (or re-named exercises) that were …
Running shirtless on Dec. 30 for the last Ramble of 2015…..who would have believed it? 7 Pax (2 shirtless) ignored the radar and got in their final miles of 2015. A oldie but goodie on tap for 6.4 miles this morning: Devine to Adger, up Adger then Devereaux all the way to Rickenbaker. Back up …
Start the New Year at The Wall as we take to the trails of Sesquicentennial again this Saturday (Jan. 2). We will meet at the Polo Road Park @ 730 Polo Rd at 7:00am and depart soon after (once light is appropriate). Break up the monotony of road running, start building your P200 miles, or …
7 Pax gathered for long day at Ramble and got their moneys worth with 4 long laps of Saluda Ave and a climb up Devine for good measure. All told the morning was 6.5 miles and 450′ of climbing, and while the pace was a bit more civilized than last Wednesday, the route took a …
Every group has its fast guy, its slow guy, it’s hill guy, and its Pace guy. Until his recent disappearance Sketch was always the Pace guy at Ramble. He knew how to stick to his internal clock no matter what the group was doing. YHC on the other hand, is terrible with pacing. So today …
To paraphrase Thoreau…..Four Pax went to the woods because they wanted to run deliberately. Though lightly attended, the first ever trail version of The Wall was a good time. After waiting a few extra minutes for enough light to navigate by we headed to the trails. First up was the 4 mile mountain bike singletrack …
Tomorrow (Sat. Nov 7) will see a special Trail edition of The Wall…..come one, come all and don’t be scured. What – 7 mile trail run. No more than 8:30 mile pace, no drop policy, no man left behind When – 6:30am Saturday, Nov 7 Where – Sesquicentennial State Park…..park at Polo Rd Park near …
Ramble has done 100s of lap up Saluda hill, same goes for Bull St., Henderson St., Pickens, Kilbourne, and many more. But curiously we seem to mostly avoid the nastiest hill around…..Whaley St. At 1km long and 115′ of gain it is feared and avoided for a reason, but that is the same reason to …
While YHC will not be at the BRR due to conflicts, that’s no reason to not help those that are going, and BRR training doesn’t just have to be on running days. Today’s Thunder leg-o-rama will hopefully makes those hills a little easier. In between leg work, the boys of Thunder did have time to …
Leading by example is a good thing in nearly all of life’s endeavors, unfortunately YHC was not up to the challenge this morning. Fortunately, the course and the pax were hard enough to ensure a challenge without a leader. 500′ of climbing and 7 miles (6.25 for YHC who needed a shortcut) awaited 8 Ramblers …
By request of Ramble, tomorrow’s Expedition will feature it’s longest route to date….an 8 mile trail run. Never fear though, for those that are not as fleet of foot there is a 4.5 mile route option. Both routes will be at Sesquicentennial State Park and will start at 7:00am. As usual we will be using …
