Every so often the two Forest Acres bootcamps gather at Trenholm Plaza for an intense and fast paced, 30 minute beat down, followed by coffeeteria. 20 PAX posted for the workout. 9 from Swamp Fox and 11 from Hammer. This is what happened. Conditions: 75 and humid thanks to a much needed rain. The Thang: …
On a dark and Gloomy morning, 23 men converged upon an asphalt parking lot unsure of what was to come. There was talk of a short workout and coffee. Yes, the coffeeteria, a virtual unknown experience for most boot campers in F3 Columbia these days. The stories about coffeteria from the runners were legendary, encapsulating …
Due to YHC’s upcoming ultra P200 running on his mind lately. With that said, this workout no running at all. Run on running days, cross train on other days. The goal is to keep the cardio up, but in ways that can give those overworked long distance running muscle’s some recovery. What was planned was an …
4 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter.

With a Q that featured some laps around the …

6 men posted to the high-intensity workout of F3Columbia known as #Blitz this morning in the sup-freezing gloom. However, YHC tried to help the PAX forget about the cold with, hopefully, an unforgettable workout. We started quick and never stopped. We got better and pushed each other to the brink. This is how it went …
On the website Blitz is listed as an “Intense Boot Camp.” It gets that designation while all other AO’s in our Region are just listed as “Boot Camp.” YHC submits that this label must be scarring all the pax away. Seems Blitz is just too hard for them, and this morning it definitely was. Here’s …

Chatter for Blitz was at an all time high yesterday evening as YHC planned the Blitz Q. As the HCs came in, it became clear that this would be a big showing for Blitz. The plan was simple. To get in an intense 30 minute workout, YHC decided not to travel. The Pax would stay …

YHC had a very contemplative drive to the Blitz this morning as I pondered a last minute change in the work out plans to keep us off the ground….. but there was no change. Three pax appeared for a hose down by mother nature. The great thing about the blitz is that it is 15 …
YHC has been a Q quite a few times at this point. This ain’t my first rodeo. That being said it had been a while since I laced ’em up and planned out a bootcamp workout. The rust showed spectacularly. YHC planned a weight workout split up into shoulders, back, biceps, and chest (all with …
Four amigos gathered in the sultry gloom for my second post and first Q at Blitz: F3 Columbia’s shortest workout. During my last visit, I swore off Blitz forever because my good friend Polo tried desperately to kill me with a stomach torture device he called the “v-up”. My ab hurt for days after that. …

4 Pax post at #Blitz this morning in the #gloom and were reminded of YHC’s prior night tweet…”#Blitz mode in full effect. Pack lightly…we’ll be movin’!” This was of course in response to a question about bringing a ruck to the workout. YHC has nothing against a good ol’ fashion ruck #beatdown but this morning was all …
3 Pax posted at Blitz to work hard and fast so as to improve and get better. This is a great workout area and a fun and different way to get in your work! Who doesn’t love an extra 15 minutes in the old fart sack? Thanks for the invite to Q Cornstache– Keep me on …
4 PAX at Blitz this chilly morning. The goal was to get warm quick and stay warm until we were done. Blitz is a really cool workout for 30 minutes of intense non-stop moving. If you have not tried it you need to give it a shot. Weather: 33 degrees Clear Skys Met at Memerial …
6 men ignored common logic and the comforts of home this morning to post for a 30 minute workout that was designed to create a bit of a spike in heart rate. Here’s how it all went down: Conditions: Very wet, but thankfully warm 68 degrees The Thang Hard run through the puddles to the …
I have to admit today was my first post at Blitz… It’s about 20 minutes away from my house but it’s well worth the drive! This is a great AO with a park/playground and a track within 500 yards. Not to mention with a 30 minute time limit you can really let it rip. Not need …

4 brave men posted for YHC’s first foray into #Blitz. This was a special invite because YHC had the distinct honor of naming the Blitz AOQ when he first posted at #IronYard. It was a wild nameorama and the first version of his F3 name may not be fit to print, but YHC managed to …
7 faithful posted to the #gloom at #Blitz for YHC’s maiden Q at downtown Columbia’s newest AO. “Thirty minutes, thirty minutes, thirty minutes…..however will we fill the time?” That’s honestly a question that does not cross the Q-to-be’s mind in the hours leading up to a workout at #Blitz. More appropriately, “how will I accomplish what …

As the pax arrived in the gloom this morning, one of the City of Columbia’s finest watched over the parking lot. He was there almost until the point we started the workout. For the pax, this was a gentle reminder of the fact that these men watch over all of the city, keeping us safe, …
The reasons for Blitz were threefold: give the existing pax something different (a quick intense workout) give EH’ers another argument (hey it’s only 30 minutes, who can’t do something for 30 minutes) get a workout in Rosewood Blitz is an intense fast paced workout (hence the name Blitz) that is somewhat FNG friendly. Aren’t those …
