Reverse, Reverse!
All All MECA BackblastsJune 18th, 2016
15 of Harrisburg’s strong broke out this morning to enjoy the awesome weather and gain a little strength and endurance at the same time. Things started early when @Clueless introduced a few to the “the gait changer.” Anyone who has experienced with this nasty beast knows how difficult it is to overcome. T-Claps to @Clueless for his ability to persevere without any ill effects that I know of. If there were any ill effects, then I certainly don’t want to know about it.
There were so many options out there this morning, YHC decided to just go with the flow and see where things went. As it turned out, things went about 4 miles or so. Here is how it went:
Mosey from the upper lot to middle of the football field.
Disclaimer just good enough to be recognized as such.
SSH X 25
Imperial Storm Trooper x 10
Diamond Merkins x 10
Mosey to the end zone.
11’s – starting with 10 merkins in one end zone and 1 jump squat in the other
Wide Merkins x 10
LBC x 12
Merkins x 10
W x 12
Carolina Dry Docks x 10
Indian Run down around the pond all the way to the sidewalk along Robinson Church Road for some hill work
Backwards run up the hill on Robinson Church
5 Burpees
Run back down the hill
Repeat (x 4) (5 total trips)
Mosey back up to the football field and then back to the upper lot.
Mary:
LBC x 25
Low Dolly x 20
Low Flutter x 11
In-Grown Moleskin:
- T-Claps to all of the Bull Runners this AM. I am not sure how many there were, but we definitely had @Hootie’s water station overwhelmed. Thanks to @Hootie for the hospitality.
- YHC was quite disappointed when @BBQ pointed out that backwards running is going to have a negative affect on my Garmin numbers. YHC did not know that running backwards will actually take miles off…so we finished up with almost no miles gained. @Klump confimed this…he offered to expain the physix behind it, but said it might blow my mind.
- Lots of good work out there this AM. That hill is tough running it forwards, I hope you liked the twist of running it backwards, I know I didn’t.
- Lover Boy’s exercise station is coming along and looks awesome. YHC can’t wait to put it to use.
- Keep Pounding….BRR will be here before you know it.
- Thanks for passing the keys to this one to me, for showing up, and pushing through.
- Happy Father’s Day to the many fathers out there…Enjoy it.

Oh yeah, thanks to The Magic One for the strong takeout.
Thanks @Bull! That was a brutal beat down, especially the reverse running up the hill. Never really thought about doing hill work in reverse
@Starsky and @TurfToe – here’s the website I mentioned for running shoes: http://shoekicker.com
Awesome little site to find the cheapest price on your running shoes. Might not get a deal on the latest model but odds are good you’ll find an older model for cheap.
