On this beautiful Friday morning 2 men beat the fartsack for an early morning acceleration filled with bleachers and sprints.  The workout looked a little like this:

Warm-Up:

• Mosey over to the Hickory Ridge High School Track

The Thang:

• Run up and down each set of bleachers on the home bleachers, then mosey down to the track
• Once at the track, start with 100m sprint, 100m mosey, 100m sprint, and finish with 100m mosey
• After completing a lap run back up the the bleachers to repeat the entire set
• Todays achievement: 6 complete sets with an extra set of bleachers just for fun

Cool Down:

• Mosey back to the middle school track parking lot

Mary (all in cadence):

• LBC x20
• Crunchy Frog x20
• Pretzel Stick x 10 each side (SS)
• Mason Twist x 10

Moleskin:

• A lot of Blue Ridge Runners missing this morning. Hope those beds were nice and comfy for ya.
• Bleachers always sound better in YHC’s head, as well as burpies
• Thanks @SS for pushing me this morning and glad to see someone’s coming out to acceleration.  You know you’re in good health when the 24 year old is trying to keep up with the 62 year old #RESPECT
• Speaking of, YHC aka The Magnificent is currently looking after the acceleration workouts after @SS passed the patton.  If anyone would like to lead acceleration or try something new in the workouts give me a shoutout in the comments or talk to me at Saturday coffee.  I would love to hear y’alls feedback to help make acceleration feel less like nascar (aka left turns).
• At one acceleration workout I heard some suggesting a running form workout, which can / can not be beneficial to some.

Acceleration, Harrisburg
