No Cadence = The Vern
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 11th, 2016
14 men woke up and stepped outside only to be greeted with a blast of cold air. On a chilly morning, there were very few cars at HCES at 5:26. But the caravan started then until we hit the final number of 14 PAX.
Warm-Up
- Mosey to basketball courts
- 20 SSH IC
- 20 Mtn Climbers IC
After having my “cadence” mocked at my last Q, I decided on a workout where cadence wasn’t necessary. So, we ran the Vern. (Funny, though, how the person with the largest cadence critique (Gump) was noticeably absent this morning. )
The Thang
Warm-up with .75 mile run
- 10 pull-ups, 200 yard run
- 20 dips, 200 yard run
- 25 merkins, 200 yard run
- 30 LBCs, 200 yard run
- Repeato for a total of 5 cycles
Finish with .75 mile run
If you finished, you completed 50 pull-ups, 100 dips, 125 merkins, 150 LBCs and about 3.5 miles of running. Not bad for 35-40 minutes.

Kudos to all those that posted this morning. The Vern is constant movement with very little time to recover.
@Google – Great running with you. Thanks for letting me keep up.
@Frodo nice work today. Thanks for leading. At first I thought that The Vern was just a lighter version of The Murph. Now I think that The Murph is just a lighter version of The Vern. That was a lot of running. My legs are killing me today. Great workout though.
I hate and love the Vern at the same time. Great workout that keeps the heart pounding the entire 45 minutes. Very good choice @Frodo! Thanks for the lead and the push!
