Wait, is that?…
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 5th, 2016
8 PAX showed up to run this AM, including the “I’m not a runner” @Tumbler. Yep you read it correctly, it’s not a typo. The dude’s serious about doing #BRR. His spot isn’t available, no matter what he says. Here’s what happened next…
WARM-UP:
8:00 mosey
THE THANG:
6:00 race pace / 5:00 mosey
5:00 race pace / 4:00 mosey
4:00 race pace / 3:00 mosey
3:00 race pace / 2:00 mosey
2:00 race pace / 1:00 mosey
PAX circled back for the six during each mosey.
COT
MOLESKIN:
- Lots of mumble about getting out of bed vs. rolling over, colder temps, wind, etc. Think we can all agree 43:00 later it was worth it. And we’re better because of it.
- Not sure everyone would agree but sorta like these timed intervals. YHC’s 3rd time doing it with #Acceleration.
- Sorry again to @Gapper for missing his tweet, not much rest (actually no rest) this week compared to last. However YHC wasn’t taking requests so it wasn’t gonna happen anyway.
- Solid turn out this AM PAX. Seriously, it was great seeing @Tumbler leave the KB behind and try out what he’s been missing. 216 days to go – you’re a runner. #newera
- In theory (i.e. if done correctly), your pace should have gotten faster as the length of the interval got shorter. So the 6:00 interval should have been your slowest pace. Was that the case?
- Think the KB PAX was in some other zip code this AM because the “delightful breeze” @Kojak references were not the words we were uttering during the last interval – serious head wind.

Enjoyed men, thanks again for coming out.
Great Q BBQ. Loved the intervals. Only my 2nd acceleration post and each one has been serious work out! Only real men like @Tumble should post at acceleration.
You’re right @BBQ I was trying to put a positive spin on it. It was quite brisk to say the least.
For my first Acceleration this was tough, but exactly what I wanted. Except for the cold. I knew it was cold and windy when I tried ducking in behind Gapper for him to block the wind for me. We’ll say I was practicing drafting.
Hey what is this BRR thing you guys keep referring to. Dang it. Did Gamma sign me up for something again?
I would never do such a thing! On a completely unrelated note, block off September 9th and 10th for a surprise party. I’ll pick you up early on 9th. Bring your running shoes. And a change of clothes.
