The Pax were six strong for a return to the old days of Speed, before the invasion of BRR training and an overabundance of hills.

The Thang:

Head out to the parkway, turn left for the HC 5K route + Fairvista loop + Shelly/Street rd loop. ~ 4.6 miles

Fartleks – The Pax jogged a steady pace out the gate and after a 2 minute warmup, started fartleks with:
1. a 30 second fast pace, 1 min slow pace recovery x 3
2. a 1 min fast pace, 2 min slow pace recovery X 3
3. a 30 second fast pace, 1 min slow pace recovery x 2
4. a 1 min fast pace, 2 min slow pace recovery X 2
5. a 15 second fast pace, 45 second slow pace recovery X 2
6. a 1 min fast pace, 2 min slow pace recovery X 1
7. a 30 second fast pace, 1 min slow pace recovery x 1
8. a 15 second fast pace, 45 second slow pace recovery X 1

Mosey back to HCES.

The Moleskin:

1. It was refreshing to turn left out of the ES for once, like the old days (as in a few months prior to BRR craze). It was a flat run, but we got some miles in and pushed it hard on the fast pace intervals.

2. None of us like fartleks, but they are painful and rewarding. Ask Chopper for his opinion, and I’m sure that’s what he’d say.

3. Enjoyed the small group this morning, the intense push, and the 2nd F in between wanting to gag.

Have a great day and weekend.
