The PAX should’ve known better when our Q, Cornstache, showed up to give us our route and then wished us well, scooting home to nurse a bum knee in the warmth and comfort of his home. While our Q browsed the shelves of Walgreens, looking for milk and Twinkies, the PAX donned kevlar vests and slogged …
*** UPDATE: Shirt order *** The 2016 BRR shirt is out! If anyone’s interested in saving a few bucks on shipping, YHC is putting together a bulk order. The order will go in next Wednesday evening, 7/13. If you want in: sound off in the comments (or DM @copyhacker on Twitter) with your shirt size, style, and other deets …
For all the re-tweets and likes, only one other PAX showed up (and he said that he almost didn’t make it!) We did have a little bit of competition (The Cottonmouth, and the Red Shoe 10k), and we also had 30 degree temps with a significant windchill, to make it feel like 22 degrees. It …
Conditions: 53 degrees – windchill made it feel sub 40. 6 Pax began the Wall for a little jog towards downtown. 2 peeled off for 7 miles (great PR by Gaston), 4 made it a little over 10 miles and one phantom pax caught up to us late and kept running after we decided to stop. I …
Nine PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning to do the hard thing. Not a leisurely 5K or even a good solid out and back 10K. No, these #MinivanCenturions took the #DRP and made easy work of YHC’s route that helped all those training for #F3P200 #GetBetter. Conditions: 48 Degrees and overcast (Perfect Burpee Weather) …
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 …
Time to start the New Year off with a bang via a FNG friendly, good old fashion Convergence. 2016 is going to be great, and YHC wants to start if off with 100+ F3 Men. 2016 will be the year when we show all #SadClowns that with F3 every man can get better and be …
Conditions: 66 deg, 95% humidity and foggy Although the calendar says it is late December, it felt much more like the middle of summer. 5 PAX showed up to put in a few miles in the foggy soup. Welcome to Subway as he visited from Charlotte Metro. The Thang: Take off down Ott, right on …
Great turnout on a perfect morning for a run through downtown Columbia. Eleven cruised the gloom of Shandon before climbing South Main to the State House grounds. A jaunt down the concrete canyon of Main provided a valuable lesson as the pax dodged a number of tow trucks removing the vehicles of those who shacked at …

4 pax gathered at Dreher for a brisk Wall loop. It was YHC’s last long run before the Kiawah full marathon. YHC’s training partner for the marathon was the Wall. Not any one person, but the whole group that has posted over the last 8 weeks. Not that anything has been done yet, but YHC …
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 …
Maybe it was the fact that it was still dark, maybe it was the big road closed signs, maybe it was the rows of houses with no lights on and the doors open, maybe it was the truck on top of a bush, maybe it was the car with the windows completely fogged up, maybe …
If they say that two is company and three’s is a crowd, Furlough made good company for an 8.5 mile jog through the pre-dawn streets of Columbia. For the first time in what seems like ages, the weather was ideal for a long run which head out through Shandon and worked over to the State House. …
Tomorrow morning promises to bring ideal running conditions and I’ve planned a route that promises to take in all the splendor of an early-morning sunrise in the Capital City. I hope to keep a 9:00/mi pace but have no problem eating the dust of other more accomplished runners. See you at 6:00 at Dreher H.S. …
5 PAX endured a soggy 8.4 mile tour from DHS to the Riverwalk, back to Columbia via Gervais St. bridge and through the Horseshoe to Devine this a.m. at around a 8:15 pace. Conditions: Wet The Thang: Exit AO towards Shandon, Right on Blossom, Audible (thanks Gump/Stent) Right on Gadsden, Left on Devine, Left on …
Conditions: 66 deg F and clear With the coolest morning in months, The Wall participated in Woodshed’s 1 year anniversary and convergence. The Wall PAX was able to see Dawnstrike kick-off and Woodshed convergence finish their workout. Today’s route called for 12 miles which included several hills such as Blossom street (off Beltline), Garners Ferry …
YHC Q’d this morning’s Wall with 4.5 other faithful PAX (Stent had to leave early, due to an injury). We ran a 10 mile course at a conversational pace. The route took us to campus (through the Horseshoe), downtown (past the Sumter/Laurel bus stop), back through campus for a water stop, and then on into …
This morning we had a whopping 6 PAX post for a 10 miler! The route meandered around downtown. Starting at Dreher, we ran down (and up) Blossom, passed FIA, coming the opposite direction, turned right at Lincoln, left on Devine, left on Huger, to get back on Blossom, crossed the Blossom Street Bridge, and in …
Weather: Mid-70s humid with a slight breeze The Thang: Variable distance options for those who arrived. YHC planned a 6 mile loop to take advantage of multiple opportunities for hydration with option to complete a second loop for 12 miles. Here’s the loop: Leave Dreher and take a right on Ott to Heyward Right on …
Great morning for a long slow distance run. Thanks to Bubbles for last minute Q. A little bit of an audible near the end of the run to keep the group together. Great work boys. The Thang: Down Adger, right on Heatherwood, across to Buchanan, left on Brentwood, right on Forest, left on Lakeshore, left …
5 PAX took on a 10 mile LSD route in the hot and humid climate that is all too familiar in Columbia, SC. The conditions at the start of the run were 75 degF and 90% humidity. The route was a turn-fest which took the PAX through Forest Hills, Heathwood and Lake Katherine. Great job …
The word has been getting out for a while now that we will have a Marathon Ruck here in Columbia, and this pre-blast is to let you know it is a reality. #TClaps to Promo for the route design. What: 3 loops of a 9.5 mile course in the downtown / Rosewood areas. Total distance …
