Going down the ladder
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 19th, 2016
4 men decided to get a little faster on this brisk Friday morning with some good ol’ fashion ladder drills. And by ladder drills, i’m not talking about firemen. The workout looked a little like this:
Warm-up:
- 1 mile run – (1600m)
The Thang:
- 2x 800m run with 200m mosey for recovery
- 3x 400m with 400m mosey for recovery
- @SS (Minnow) and YHC finished early and decided to get a little extra credit in by finishing up with @Tumbler and @Gapper
- Small discussion/demonstration of running form/critique
- 1x 400m sprint to finish off
Announcements:
- There’s a half marathon May 25th (@Gapper thinks) at 9pm that starts at Baiden Drive-In outside movie theater. Sounds like fun and great way to train for Blue Ridge. Talk to @Gapper for more details.
- Harrisburg 5k will also be on May 25th.
Moleskin:
- Great push by everyone this morning. I think @Tumblers starting to like #Acceleration a little more.
- The PAX this morning seemed interested in YHC setting aside an acceleration workout to work on running form. If more are interested let @TheMagnificent know.
Have a Blessed day!

Hate I missed it guys but looks like a good one. Couple corrections on the races..
–The 1/2 marathon at the Badin Drive-in is Sunday, May 29th. More info here: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Albemarle/VacDashMoonlight12Marathon5KMovieDoubleFeatureRun
–Harrisburg 5k is Saturday, April 9th. More info here: http://www.active.com/harrisburg-nc/running/distance-running-races/harrisburg-5k-2016
#Tclaps Tumbler on that smoking 8:24 (warmup!) mile. The harder I chased you the further in front you stayed (a trend that lasted most of the morning).
Great Q, Magnificent.
And, here’s info on the half marathon from the drive-in to Morrow Mountain & back: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Albemarle/VacDashMoonlight12Marathon5KMovieDoubleFeatureRun.
And I think a correction: Harrisburg 5k is April 9, which is also the day of the Chosen 10 miler.
Tumbler – you’re beginning to look like an Acceleration regular … it’ll pay off in September
Gapper – enjoyed the perspective on Charlotte development during the warm-up laps … always a wealth of knowledge
Magnificent – tough ladder workout … however, on that last 400m, you didn’t spot me nearly far enough … breezed past me effortlessly before the 200m mark … #impressive
I’m in for the Chosen Ten Miler …. here’s the link: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Concord/Chosen10Mile
