Keep On Keeping On
How do you follow-up an extraordinary experience like last weekend’s BRR2017?

Two @F3Harrisburg Pax shared the ‘back in the saddle’ portion this morning at HRMS track. […]
Party of Two
With most of the runners in Harrisburg at the BRR, only 2 men made it to the track to get a little faster this morning. There was disagreement over whether the cooler temps were on the verge of chilly or just right, but it didn’t matter. We still put in the work. Warm-up: 1 mile […]

Slowest Man Getting Faster
For a minute this morning, I thought I was going to be the fastest man on the track. Then, the Pax showed up. 5 Pax put in a lot of effort to make themselves faster this morning. Proving, once again, YHC is the slowest man at Acceleration. WARMUP 800 meters After a quick disclaimer about not being […]
