F3 Columbia Backblasts
3 men emerged from the #fartsack today in spite of a light rain in search of an opportunity to #getbetter. Not sure if the route, the rain, or something else kept the other pax away today, but know that if you were not there, you were missed. Don’t let the summer trappings keep you from …
7 Stumble faithful got-in a longer route today. The heart rate-conscious MAFers departed at 5:15, enabling us to all finish together (yay 2nd F!). After a full evening and night of rain, it was a humid, drizzly, puddle-filled morning, but we got a 6.5 mile route done (yay 1st F!). The general route consisted of …
First VQ by YHC was cancelled due to lame work excuses stacked around tax season. This time around it was going to happen. Countless Legion posts certainly set the framework for what would be a Q worthy of Mumble Chatter coming to an abrupt end. Conditions: 74 with abundant, warm moisture The Thang: Disclaimer Warm-up: …
11 PAX posted this morning looking to put in some work at the Woodshed. Felt great to be back leading PAX through a bootcamp workout, hard to believe so much time has passed since my last Q. The theme for today’s workout: using the 4 Essential Movements (pull-ups, push-ups, squats, plank) to help build some beach bodies. Tha …
6 Stumblers posted for the old standby route, Chimney Hill Out n’ Back. This route is just under 4 miles and can be a little tricky. The first 1.9 miles can lull you to sleep as you easily run along the mostly downhill quiet neighborhood roads of the Hamptons. However, once you make the turn …
After a week hiatus the WOW is back in full effect. Be sure to mark your calendars for July 15th for the Bullseye half marathon. This event will be around 14.5 laps of the Bullseye, and have about 2200 feet of elevation gain (which is higher then every building in the world except 1). Hope …
YHC has yet to put out a Q schedule for Scramble so it was necessary to take the reins for today’s Scramble. YHC put out the call to the pax for a Monday 4-miler and 4 pax responded. Conditions: Uh, humid. The Thang: Leave Trenholm Plaza, and take Forest Drive toward Beltline, left on Beltline, …
Wingback and YHC thought a 100-rep themed workout was a good idea. Here’s what happened. Conditions: Steamy The Thang: Mosey to the Battle Loop for first half with Minion and partner up. While Partner 1 starts on set exercises, Partner 2 runs the Battle Loop. Once lap is completed, flap and jack and continue to switch …
Amidst the swelter, the moist heat of a @F3Columbia summer, seven men bested the Monday #Fartsack in order to poke and prod their bodies into sharper bipedal machines. That is, we ran four miles, one of them down Devine Street. Conditions: Holy crap it’s hot and humid. TheThang: The map is nearly worthless if you …
When: nineteen men convene from Chapin, Irmo, Columbia, The Oliver Gospel Mission. When: their age range is 32 to 59. When: the group consists of Uncle Ricos, Bad*#@*, backs with screws, knees with tissue for cushion. When: professions include High School Teachers, Chemical Engineers, Sales Reps, Full Time Addiction Recovery men. When: the meeting locale …
3 Pax braved the harsh elements (70 degrees, 170% humidity) for KB Beatdown and embarked on a modified Tabata KB workout. The Tabata High Intensity Workout is doing 1 exercise, AMRAP, for 20 seconds, then 10 seconds of rest, then continue for 8 sets or a total of 4 minutes. Each set is followed by …
YHC is always sure that Legion PAX will push it, and although there’ll be sure to be Grumble Chatter (especially if Hee Haw’s there), the PAX come to get work done. Today was no different, and it was YHC that felt like he was the 6 most of the time (smoked for sure). For those …
YHC decided to try and improve upon the #crowdpleaser Burpee Trees from his last Q, so this time there was a little more free will for the Pax in deciding how to best smoke themselves. Conditions: Hot, clear and buggy. The Thang: All in cadence unless noted SSH x25 Through tunnel x15 Mountain Climbers x20 …
Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying, “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” So much emphasis has been put on reading things and following instruction that YHC thought it might be a good idea to focus on some of things we really shouldn’t do. It’s difficult to find …
A challenge is a hard thing to pass up. So when Gaston tapped me last week for a Q and then tee’d up the #Ramble 5K plan for Friday it seemed like the perfect chance to knock out the #MyMile Strava challenge and see if anyone could post a new PR. Of course, it doesn’t hurt …
Disclaimer: YHC is hardly an expert. I mean, look at me. Warmup: SSH X15 TTT X10 Burpee X5 (OYO) LBC X15 Slow/ Fast Merkin Flutters X15 The main thang: From the KG Club House, pax executed a Bataan Death March around Kings Grant Ln., with a special pain station at Foot Point. After one cycle …
Pax all thought the designated Q was marking out a course for some intense THANG only to learn he was just having an intense “thang” of his own. So we called an audible for an impromptu KamikazE-Hamm Co-Q. Warm-Up (KamikazE): 30 x 4 ct SSH 10 x 4 ct Imperial Walkers 10 x 4 ct …
15 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Lingering in the parking was YHC, who was eager to be amongst the All-Stars of F3 Columbia this AM. This morning included a who’s who of #RedwoodOriginals, including two of the PAX who essentially set the standard for #MumbleChatter in …
8 at SCORE this morning. Great crowd that really worked hard this morning. Weather: Clear, 72 Degrees COP – Front of Dreher by the building Merkins – 15 IC Big Boy Situps – 15 OYO Squats – 20 OYO Little Baby Arm Circles – 15 IC F/B Overhead Claps – 20 IC Shoulder Presses – …
Real Quit at SCORE this morning. Must have been all that countingRead More »
Ten of the more faithful among F3Columbia climbed out of the #Fartsack either in spite of the late night watching the Warriors snuff out the Cav’s hopes or because the NBA Finals couldn’t keep them up. Either way, YHC felt a tribute to the end of the basketball year was good enough reason to plan a whole …
13 pax made it out to Hammer (Lucky 13 again for these guys) for a nice and humid #merkinless workout. One of the advantages of Qing a workout- you get to choose the beatdown for the pax (and rest any hurt body parts). Well, no merkins for the Hammer pax today, but it doesn’t mean …
“What time is it, Splinter?” at the #Merkinless WorkoutRead More »
10 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter with intentions of placing Monday in a firm headlock. With a bright moon lighting the way, YHC wanted to build on the hard work being done by these #HIMs and lead the PAX through the first installment of the #TripleT. …
Conditions: Unseasonably cool and beautiful (somewhere in the mid-60s) The Thang: Leave AO, running east on Devine Street Turn right on Kilbourne Turn right on Monroe Turn right on Harden Turn right on Devine Return to AO Four miles total Moleskin: YHC listened to the pax, who have developed a hatred for the “typical” Friday …
Trying to come up with a workout to challenge the DawnStrike pax is not always an easy proposition. So, flipping seemed like a fun activity for an early Saturday morning. Conditions: Mid-60s – pretty nice, really The Thang: Mosey around to the back of DHS by the brick pile and circle up Warm-up COP Mountain …
“Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?” This question was asked of George Leigh Mallory, who was with both expeditions toward the summit of the world’s highest mountain, in 1921 and 1922, and who was in New York. He planned to go again in 1924, and he gave as the reason for persisting in …
Nineteen men posted at The Mission today. Men from G.O.A.T., Strut, parts far and wide from the Lexington and Columbia Regions, and ofcourse the men of the Oliver Gospel Mission, men with addictions who participate in a rigorous program at the Oliver Gospel Mission. By the way, you’re a “member” of The Mission if you’ve …
In the later weeks of F3 Dads in ’16 there were some slim pickings. The last Q by YHC & Company had only 3 families there. So when 7am rolled around and YHC & company were standing there alone, YHC wasn’t too surprised. We hadn’t gotten the word out enough. Some schools may still be …
8 pax put in work on a straightforward run up and back on Trenholm. No turns, no brainpower needed. Just run. There was a little bit of mumble chatter as we started as the Scramble pax has gotten used to a Friday fast and flat 5k. Today was right about 4 miles. Fade to Black was …
12 men rose to celebrate Global Running Day. (Contrary to most of Stumblers’ belief, Global Running Day is for real and not a ploy of the Chinese, Russians, or Trump!) Conditions: Not normal June in Columbia weather The Thang: We ran the most unique Stumble route possible…THE TUNNELS! L out of AO R Chambly L …
Conditions: Cool and dry Tha Thang: 9 guys didn’t take the Twitter hints and showed up anyway for what promised to be a repetitive, hard workout. It didn’t disappoint, although admittedly it was not as brutal as I anticipated due to time limitations and having a good number of pax to split the load. Recently, …
Thursday morning at Thunder featured cooler weather and multiple opportunities that reminded us exactly who will be sweeping the Cavs this season in the NBA final. I don’t claim any NBA team, but I do know of a certain pax that might have King James tattooed somewhere on his body. Unfortunately, this particular pax was …
YHC has never liked the “F3 is like adult recess” familiar refrain. I guess I take it a little more seriously than “recess” (what?…me?…naw…). Heck, I even took recess seriously back in the day. It was time to go win something. #recesschamp Yeah, I know. Anyway…today at #Hammer really was like recess though. We ran, …
I’m putting out a call to all of F3 Nation to converge in Charlotte this July to FLOOD THE ZONE at an event started by one of F3’s own. This is the 16th year of the “24 Hours of Booty” that raises funds to fight cancer, and while it has historically been a cycling-oriented event, …
In the past my go to stumble route has been referred to as the republican “all right” 5k. All right turns throughout the neighborhood with minimal hills. This time 16 pax started left and stayed left the entire time. Olde night to old woodlands. Left to Saye Cut. Galway to garners ferry for a left …
The theme of today’s workout was high intensity cardio followed by lots of abs. Welcome to FNG who is now known as Boudreaux. Warmup: 15 squats IC, 10 mercans IC, 20 flutter kicks IC, 10 big boys OYO. The THANG: Using Hot Tub Hill, we sprinted about 40 yards uphill. At the top, we did …

Conditions: 65 and Breezy. 4 Pax follow Kitty on a familiar #Beastly jog off the beaten path. This was basically a repeat of a Q YHC did back in February and it was only 5 degrees warmer today than in February. The Thang: In Parking Lot SSH x 30 IC Mosey out of parking lot …
Hawg and Ronda had the co-Qs this past Saturday at Battle with a total of 12 PAX. First up, Hawg sent us through a grueling battle loop: Grab the bricks and mosey to the Battle loop. Circle up for 40 SSH IC and 4 count 25 FlutterKick IC. Upper body blowout: 10 pull ups, 10 dips, …

In addition to The Mission, YHC has been a regular at Legion now for a few months. The time had come to step up for the VQ and get on the regular Legion rotation. Many have stated that the night before the VQ, that nerves are tense and sleep is a bit difficult. For …

What a great morning to be out in the gloom. YHC asked yesterday in the group me if there was an interest in going off campus or staying on campus for the workout. No one expressed strong interest, so we stayed on campus. General discussion during the workout was to next time ask for the …

Hey guys, as some of you know I am a certifiable roller coaster nut and I have had the idea of a day out at Carowinds for F3 for a while now and I’m going to step out and see what happens. If you want to come, please respond in the comments below, even if …

As most of you have notice, the nice spring mornings have yielded to some already brutal double H (hot and humid) mornings. Double H mornings make things harder. You simply can’t do the same thing when it’s 72 and humid versus 50 and cool. This can get frustrating as you watch your pace/energy/reps go in …
You are cordially invited to join us for the F3 Cola, Lake Murray, Lexington – Oliver Gospel Mission Fellowship Cookout at Pine Island on Friday June 30. We’ll kick off the festivities around 5pm and go till around 8. As part of our ongoing commitment to the men at OGM, we hold a 2ndF event every quarter …
YHC has written this BB many, many, many X’s. Cause The Mission AO and the Strut AO and the Depot AO and the Legion AO and Woodshed AO and the Boneyard AO and the Graveyard AO and the thirty others in Cola keep providing the same manna that many kids need that call themselves men. …

Join F3York as we host our first ever CSAUP…the Mastodon. As F3York continues to grow, we decided that we needed to make a mark on the map with an insane (completely stupid) event. With the overwhelming amount of Pax getting into the ruck craze, a ruck inspired endurance event was conceived. This event will suck …
Our fearless leader left this week off of his extensive Q Schedule, so the faithful Pax who posted got smoked by the first thing that popped into Collar’s head on Tuesday (which was not easy) and they got YHC off the bench today. We went with some go-to Hammerstyle work this morning – ciruits, challenges, …
Thirteen men, including one FNG, started the day strong with a round of ladders meant to work the upper body and abs. Time to go to the beach. Conditions: cool summer morning in South Carolina The Thang: Warm up the main muscle groups: all in cadence: SSH x 20; Imperial Walkers x 20, 10 count …

The AOQ dropped the ball this week, by completely leaving it off the Q list. Then yesterday being Memorial Day, YHC didn’t go to work and check the Q list like a normal Monday so as YHC showed up at the normal 5:29 arrival time, there was surprisingly little action at Hammer. When YHC asked …
Great morning at SCORE/Brickpile. We had 11 pax out working hard and having fun. Hope they got all they wanted in the workout this morning. I know Brickpile was very disappointed that Chaser missed his Q but we combined the groups. Even without Chaser he was still part of our workout. I took his Thursday …

A lot of the WOW’s this year will be workouts that YHC has to experience from the BB. The WOW is this past Tuesday’s Thunder workout by Splinter, that I had the pleasure of taking part in. YHC is an unabashed fan of Splinters workouts, and he is definitely one of the best we have …
8 pax for Brickpile and SCORE came together for a pre-Memorial Day workout. Conditions: Perfect Spring Saturday morning The Thang: Meet at the rocks and slow mosey to Heathwood Park Not very SCORE-like but it was short and slow. At Heathwood Park, the pax circled around a playground and executed The Murph (with modifications as …

14 appeared this morning looking for work and it was cooler but at 95% humidity due to the rain over the last three days the water seemed to come from the ground up instead of the sky down. YHC’s plan called for 45 minutes of an elevated heart rate and the sweat poured like this …
For Rossinbagger’s Q on Tuesday, the pax could barely breathe through the humidity (plus his workout). The pax today were treated with what felt like a nice fall weather morning…(before the pain of Columbia summer returns in about two days). Work was done by the nine men. Conditions- perfect The Thang- Run to Converse and …
The rain was pouring and the lightning was poppin’ all around Cola-town at 5:45. YHC circled the Blatt for an extra close parking spot today, hoping to find a short commute to the steps for the #Smackdown meet up. When no ‘legal’ spots were to be found, I parked sideways in a handicap spot and ran …
YHC posted the Wednesday morning route early Tuesday afternoon in hopes of enticing the pax to arrive prepared to conquer some hills. Instead, many decided that that the fartsack was more inviting then the hills that lied before them. Not to worry, 4 men arose to the gloom to push themselves and to #getbetter Conditions: …
YHC needed to leave F3Columbia by 0600 to make a meeting in Richmond, Va by noon. Work needed to be done and 6 PAX needed to be led so an unconventional “running” workout was planned. The THANG! Conditions: 63 degree and cloudy run to the corner of Woodrow and Wheat where directions were passed out. …
The Herd requests your presence to honor our brethren who have perished fighting The War on Terror at 6am on Memorial Day. We will be doing an easy run to Memorial Park at Hampton and Gadsden Street. After arrival and a moment of silence to honor those that have gone before us, we will mosey …
We had 15 strong men appear in the gloom this morning unafraid of the conditions and YHC. They came to work and definitely accomplished their goal. Not much of the usually humorous chatter at Thunder this morning during the workout – might have had something to do with the 1 mile Sprint-Jogs we did out …
Amble celebrated it’s 4th anniversary last week so it was only fitting to go to one of the original, out and back, modifiable routes-the ever popular Kilbourne out and back! The Conditions: Humidity was a preview of July and August… The route: leave Dreher, up Adger, right on Deveraux, left on Kilbourne. All the way …
The F3 Super Bowl is the CSAUP of F3 Nation. The Marine Corps hosts the Mud Run and it draws the Nation like bees to honey. Wet…gritty…sandy…muddy…stinking honey. It gets in every orifice, will not wash off without a serious effort, soap and a towel you will probably throw away when finished. It’s a 4.5+ hour car ride on a Friday. Riding down …
Q schools are great and they are going to continue to happen this year. In the interest of letting pax know what YHC thinks the aspects of a good workout and Q are more consistently, we’ve decided to start a workout of the week (WOW) post that will run (nearly) every week. The purpose of …
McBeal asked me to Q at The Castle a few weeks ago and I was happy to make my first post there. Seeing I had about a month to do recon…I of course decided to wait till the last minute to visit the AO only to have the security guard turn me away on Sunday. …
The Conditions: Warm and a little muggy, but wait til July! Tha Thang: 6 padawans gathered at Dreher High School for a MudRun-avoiding bit o’ Jedi training. Wienke heavily borrowed from recent browbeating by Floppy Disc at SwampFox but adapted for circumstances like all good Force-users are able. We were supposed to disclaim and get …
13 Pax rose from the comfort of the fart sack to take on YHC’s tour of Hampton Leas. This part of the neighborhood is full of cul de sacs, so we just kept turning left and worked our way all the way down Hampton Leas and all the way back. Disclaimer and explanation of route: …
Just a mere 4 years ago a small group of pax came together to form a running group and named it Amble. Over the years and after a few location changes Amble has been a consistent running group for the men of F3 Columbia. Even though there have been running groups branch off, Amble is …
4 hardy pax eschewed the monster runvergence, dodged emergency vehicles and moved some iron around the Dreher campus. Work was done: Warm up – 20 sidestraddle hops, 20 Imperial Walkers, 30 little baby arm circles (15 each way), 20 Windmills, and 20 Squats Farmers carry bells to front of school First station – arms: 15 curls, …
6 Pax arrived to a balmy Sandlot for some hard work and supposed recovery after the malicious crab walk/bear crawls of Hot Tub hill on Tuesday. The work would be no less difficult but a little more variety. T-claps to Splinter for the inspiration for this Binary Q. Conditions: 71 degrees clear, Disclaimer The Thang …

Conditions: Mid 60s, clear, slight breeze… warmed up quickly The Thang: YHC kicked things off with a quick disclaimer, welcomed the 7 pax and thought about waiting around for Biggie Smalls to appear, decided against that. Quick mosey around the AO, up wheat to Sumter, left on Sumter and circled up by the pull-up …

15 men escaped the ever-calling fartsack to face the misery sure to come of a well-anounced final Q for YHC at Sawmill. Never knowing what YHC will come up with, but “over/unders” starting early with how many miles YHCs pre-run might consist of. YHC chose to mix things up in attempt to please some “Slack-related” …

7 PAX showed up today for a little workout. Not sure where this backwards running up hills started but it has sort of turned into a thing. And the more Mumble Chatter and disdain for it – the more I think its working. Conditions: 60 and clear. The Thang: Start out with 5 exercises – go directly …
Brickpile is one of the more intimidating workouts for YHC. It’s an elite group of veterans who have seen young bucks come and go. Nothing rattles these men. They put their heads down and do their work. Gimmicks won’t impress them and charm will get you no where. YHC and 13 pax went down the …
10 PAX decided against better judgement to come out for YHCs final Q at Sandlot. It was no secret that YHC would surely try to break the PAX in attendance, but these guys chose to do what they knew would be difficult. Disclaimer The Thang SSH x 125 IC (mumblechatter ignites early) Squat x …
14 PAX posted at Thunder on a somewhat cool morning but humid for who knows what. YHC had the Q yesterday at Brickpile and now another bootcamp the next day. Nothing more to do than to get to work. YHC had two buddies post that normally attend Score so the challenge was to ability to …

If you’ve never seen the movie Prefontaine, it’s a 1997 movie about Steve Prefontaine who was a middle and long distance runner who once held 7 American records and competed in the 1972 Olympics. This was the height of the 70’s running boom, and he was quite the celebrity. He passed away at 24 in …
