11 faithful posted despite warnings of a 7+ mile #RunHard route. This route featured the meat of the #RunHard finish as well as the opening couple of miles which feature the Saluda hill climb. Everyone appeared to leave everything they had on the course. End result? Folks got better. Conditions: 44 and a bit cool …
Since the fated (but not our fault) locking down of the #Brickpile AO, today’s #downPAINment was strictly off the reservation. And by that I mean we didn’t do a darn thing on Dreher property… not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s plenty to see and do in Heathwood and the #Brickpile pax tried to …
21 days into the New Year, we were geeked to have 27 PAX post for today’s Mission workout. As hopefully everyone will attest, this AO is especially special…where all 3 Fs consistently show-up. We were so happy to welcome 5 PAX that traveled all the way from the Grand Strand, rising in the gloom to …
Some old favorites always remain favorites. When called upon to Q #Ramble it’s like reaching back into years gone by to dredge up something not unique but perhaps forgotten. Such was the route du jour, a throwback to the early days of exploring Columbia from Shandon Pres. and finding gems like the Blatt Bridge and the …
When: 1/19/2017 Conditions: High 40s, not too humid- very pleasant! QIC: Big Worm Pax: Welcome Week, Wi-Fi, Rated R, Don Ho, Biggie Smalls, Big Worm The Thang: Disclaimer Run down Wheat street from the Blatt until someone points out the train is parked on Pickens Street; then mosey back up Wheat and up the steps, …

Warm up: Run from Trenholm Plaza to the intersection of Shady Ln and Quail Ln (1.2 miles) The beatdown: Sprint three loops of increasing size (.25 miles, .5 miles, .75 miles) with a brief recovery run (.1 miles) in between. Finish at Shady …
Last year F3 men from three different regions teamed up for a fall mission trip to Haiti hot on the heels of Hurricane Matthew’s pass over the island nation. It was a trip that was in the planning stages for months but was used, due to that disaster, at the height of their need. F3Haiti …
YHC realized mid week that the Battle Q was his and that his intended partner in crime was on the DL. No problem… Q’ing the hardest workout in town with one hand tied behind my back is just part of the job description, right? Rather than risk embarrassment (Q’ing 30 minutes of Battle is more …
A beautiful morning for a beatdown. Nearly 50 degrees putting the short sleeve shirts back in play after the cold, cold start to the week is what makes #FamouslyHot @F3Columbia a great place to call home. Satchel Ford, however, was a meat grinder this AM as YHC tripled everything and burned the clock in short order. Conditions: …
When it’s cold, YHC has a habit of dropping gear along a route. When it’s this cold it’s like a yard sale… in everyone’s front yard. So, rather than scattering gear across half of Forest Acres, and being that Monday’s a traditional speed/track day, Trenholm Plaza become our course with a bunch of ugly mixed in. …
