Velocity Fartlek

All All MECA Backblasts

November 21st, 2016 By GentleGrizzly

YHC decided to give Velocity another try and see if we could get the numbers up and keep this thing rolling. So I planned a Fartlek run. Fartlek. 3 PAX showed up and off we went, then as we were running down Mallard Creek we heard Funky yelling at us so we turned around to pick up the 6. So 4 PAX were set for a Fartlek.

Left on Mallard Creek – Slow Mosey to get loose
1st Interval @Brutus – Start at Driwood and run to Business Park on Prosperity
Cool down lap around Business park
2nd Interval @Astro Van – Start at Business Park and run to Armitage
Cool Down lap around island on Armitage and down the hill to speed bump
3rd Interval @Genlte Grizzly – Start at speed bump and sprint to top of hill (This was my overall plan to take @Dingo’s crown on Strava for F# Nemesis. Got em!)
Cool Down – Top of hill to Elsenham
4th Interval @Brutus – Start at Elsenham and run to Greenway
Cool Down – Cross two bridges to a bench
5th Interval @Gentle Grizzly – Start at random bench and run to next bridge (longer than I thought…)
Cool Down – Bridge to bottom of Hill of Shadows
6th Interval @Gentle Grizzly – Run up Hill of Shadows
Cool Down – walk over to cones set up by my assistant at the Elem School.
7th Interval @Gentle Grizzly – Suicides using every other cone
Cool Down – walk to entrance of school at Mallard Creek
8th Interval @Brutus – Run down the hill to bottom of parking lot behind school
Cool Down – Mosey back to cars

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
