12 ventured into the surprisingly cool and dry gloom this morning for a track workout snagged from the F3 Highlands Speed group back blast from 5/17/13 (with some modification). Those guys go hard. Modifications came in the form of removing the exercise between each round of sprints as one of the key components of #Amble is the promise of nothing but running. We save the planks, LBCs, burpees and merkins for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We also cut out one round (#5 from the 5/17/13 workout) to fit this into 45 minutes. Highland must go an hour, at least. Mucho respect for them.
Conditions: 63 degrees and 83% humidity. 10 less degrees AND 10 less percentage points of humidity makes a TON of difference.
THE THANG:
Definition of “Sprint”: As hard as you can go at any given moment given your current state of affairs and what is required. Meaning, a 100m is a all out sprint, if you’re only doing a handful, but if you’re doing several in the midst of many other “sprint”ed distances it may not be “all out”. “Sprint” a 400m and you may be cooked for the rest of the workout. Sprint = as hard as you can go in light of the then and there circumstances. Think big picture.
800m warmup
Round 1: Sprint 400, mosey 100, sprint 200, mosey 100 (2 laps)
Round 2: Sprint 200, mosey 200 x 2 (2 laps)
Round 3: Sprint 300, mosey 100 x 2 (2 laps)
Round 4: Sprint 100, mosey 100 x 4 (2 laps)
Round 5 (Grand Finale): Sprint 100, mosey 100, sprint 200, mosey 100, sprint 300, mosey 100, sprint 400 (3 & 1/4 laps).
TOTAL: 5,300m (3.31 miles) run with 3,000m (1.875 miles) at “sprint”.
Moleskin:
– This was a tough workout and a quintessential “push yourself” workout. It could vary from easy to spewing merlot all over lanes 1-3 depending on how hard you’re willing to push yourself. We will do this one again.
– Special welcome to DosEquis (FNG Ryan Causey, EH’ed by Slum Dog). This nickname stemmed from his intro that went something like this: “I like to scuba dive, sky dive, spear fish, base jump, free base, design tattoos, hang out with chimpanzees, swim with dolphins and I work at Target” or something like that…I was tired. Anywho, that coupled with the fact that he earned my respect by beating me around the track every single time sounded like he must be “the most interesting man in the world”. #staythirstymyfriends
