LIIT workout

Unbenounced to YHC, this week’s #WhiteLightning was gonna be low impact, high pain, with no suicides. Well almost a week post July 4th, today still started with a bang. The internet says LIIT is good for you. Read if for yourself – look how happy the woman is. The PAX was smiling just like that at 0617. […]

Earth Day Trio

So today’s Earth Day and YHC tried to think of a catchy themed workout in honor of the day. What were the ideas? “Running the Earth” (cheesy and sounds weird). “Pound the Earth” (not a whole lot better and sorta sounds Panther-ish, #KeepPounding).  How about, “Save the Earth” and run to the workout instead of […]

Bringing back the #DirtyMacDeuce

While many mourned the loss of last night’s NCAA National Championship game (Go Heels!) and remained in their fartsacks (or because of other useless excuses), 14 others decided to take the high road and start their day off right. YHC pulled back out the #DirtyMacDeuce. WARM-UP (x = cadence): SSH x 20 Mountain Climbers x […]

Breakfast served on empty plates

16 PAX total (including 2 MECA brothers from @F3Tradition) showed up at #TheRidge for whatever YHC had in store. When asked if today would include a lot of running, YHC’s response was “I dunno, we’ll see.” @Gamma, “More than Tuesday?” YHC “I dunno, what’d we do Tuesday?” With that, YHC picked up his empty plates […]

Double stuffed Oreos

5 PAX made it out on a practically perfect morning (can’t beat temps around 50’F) to see what YHC had coming. With YHC arriving just in the nick of time, the PAX took off. WARM-UP: 1600m mosey (4 laps) THE THANG: YHC dubbed this the “Double Stuffed Oreo” (yeah, YHC isn’t the theme master like other members […]

Wait, is that?…

8 PAX showed up to run this AM, including the “I’m not a runner” @Tumbler. Yep you read it correctly, it’s not a typo. The dude’s serious about doing #BRR. His spot isn’t available, no matter what he says. Here’s what happened next… WARM-UP: 8:00 mosey THE THANG: 6:00 race pace / 5:00 mosey 5:00 […]

Birthday beat down

18 PAX made it out of the Harrisburg blizzard (huh?) to join YHC for a birthday beat down. If kids can’t go to school because they’re shutdown, might as well make use of the AO. Parts were slippery but after the disclaimer, who cares anymore? WARM-UP: Mosey around main parking lot, avoid icy spots Circle up […]

Reverse, reverse!

2/3 of the men that posted for this interval run in June posted again today. However this time around the intervals would go in the reverse order. If you want the deets keep reading… WARM-UP: 10:00 mosey Keep running, no rest before THE THANG, and no rest between intervals. THE THANG: 2:00 hard / 1:00 mosey 3:00 […]

Post-Merkvember Beatdown

16 men (especially those who participated in this year’s #Merkvember) were happy today was December 1st. So what’s on tap for today’s beatdown? Continue reading… WARM-UP (x = cadence): Mosey around parking lot w/high knees, butt kickers, and karaoke thrown in. SSH x 20 Windmill x 10 Squats x 10 Mountain climber x 10 Merkins x 10 THE […]

I’ll take a dozen…400s

While the #HarrisburgIron PAX went with option B consisting of no running, 5 PAX met at the track for the exact opposite. Besides, who cares about those “soccer arms” when you’ve got legs like ours. The goal was to speed around the track with little rest. WARM-UP: 1600m mosey THE THANG: 12 x 400m with […]
