YHC pre-blasted the workout with enough time that Pax would reach out and get their paces for today’s workout. The misconception about speed work is that is not just come and run as fast as you can. Lots of requests last night for pace and YHC checked back to see at 10 HC’s as of last night. The good news, an HC still means something at Tiger Blood as all 10 HCs posted.

Runners returned from EC routes warmed up and ready to go. No one could find Dawgpound as we started the mosey. As we neared the track the lost pup was located after setting up his recovery device.

Here is SW we don’t do 10 or 20 counts. At Tiger Blood we usually recover on the mosey, but today apparently we were to recover in luxury.

3 for 2 mile EC: Full House, Mr. Terrific, and Skidmark
1 mile EC: Dawgpound, Cupid, Pikachu, 187, Emeril, McNugget, and maybe some others
Run from home: Aquaman, Bernie, Bullseye

Notable non EC: Lipstick

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Little mosey to the track. Leg swings side to side and front to back. Tiger claws. 400 meters (1 lap)
The Workout: Tempo Runs. 2 -12 minute sessions with 3 minute recovery between sets.

“So what is a true tempo run? A tempo run—also known as an anaerobic threshold or lactate-threshold run—is a pace about 25 to 30 seconds per mile slower than your current 5K race pace, according to running coach Jack Daniels, Ph.D., who popularized the tempo run in his book Daniels’ Running Formula.

Without getting too technical, tempo pace is the effort level at which your body is able to clear as much lactate—a byproduct of burning carbohydrates—as it produces. Your body’s lactate clearance is at the same level as its lactate production, meaning the dreaded dead-leg sensation doesn’t set in.

That’s the key difference between a race and a tempo run. In an all-out session, your body bypasses this limit, allowing for fatigue to develop rapidly. A tempo pace, on the other hand, can be held steadily (albeit not too comfortably) for at least 20 minutes.

For those fond of using heart rate monitors, Daniels notes that tempo runs should be done at 90 percent of maximum and feel ‘comfortably hard’.”

Finished with a 400m at Short Interval Pace

Mary: No time
Announcements: Mulch again, Q Swap week between HS/FV August 10 and 17, Derek Davis Memorial Run will be held at Tiger Blood on 8/20. It will be the workout but will be open to anyone.
T-Claps (Recognition): 16 guys for speed work, incredible
Prayer: Full House’s family, Lipstick’s family

Filter or Cowboy Style?

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

The air was thick down in the Teeter bowl this morning.  Cigarette butts were abundant among the parking spaces that were used just about all through the workout. Mumblechatter surrounded cigarette style preference, proper exercise form, slow bear crawlers, and the size of sweat stains. “Hey, can get that last drag?”  “You got menthol filter over there?” “Nah, this ones cowboy style.” “ How many merkins on these burpees?” These were only a few of the mumblechatter examples as we moved constantly throughout today’s AO.

EC: YHC, 187, and Aquaman. Why did we take the Wescott hill route.

FNG’s: None, but Bullseye is officially an FNG behind the wheel with his permit now!
Warm Up: Mosey around the lot a bit stopping for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Squatted Seal And Overhead Claps, Frankenstein’s, and Imperial Walkers.
The Workout: Bear Crawlers Choice as we laid down some tracks along the parking spaces. Each pax in a parking spot. First pax calls an AMRAP exercise and bear crawls to the end.  Continued this procedure for the whole workout. The only break in action was when we hit an island, we all jailbreaked to the end of the lot, moseyed back to our spots and continued. Did this twice. Lunge walked back the second time. All kinds of exercises were called. Merkins, Irkins, dirkins, dry dicks, squats, lunges, pistol squats (ouch!), Shoulder Taps, WW1s and 2’s, Pickle Pounders, H2M, LBC, LSF, Guantanamo’s, burpees, Star Jumps, absolutions, Peter Parker’s, Box Cutters, Boat Canoes, American Hammers, mountain climbers, Freddie Mercury’s, wine mixers, plank holds, side planks, and several more.  The pax altogether called out a solid workout!
Mary: During the Thang.
Announcements:  Mix it up, get to other AO’s this week.  Mulch continues. Q Swap at the end of August.
T-Claps (Recognition): Lots of sweat stains on the lot this morning.  Great work HIM’s!
Prayer: Military, first responders, teachers to have peace and service during uncertain times.

I discovered today we could not do this routine all the way to the end of the lot.  We got about 2/3. Thanks brothers for helping me learn new things each time I Q. Honored to lead.

AGS- No Random Birds..Lots of Hills and an F-Bomb

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

With BRR just around the corner, YHC called for around 5ish hill miles in the pre-blast. The goal would be to keep all PAX together while tackling some of the favorite inclines surrounding Womble. Was arriving late to the lot, but saw some great leadership with Aquaman getting Cowboy and Oboe warmed up. No time to plant the flag, so joined the semi-circle to take over while Aquaman gathered some last minute items from his truck. Vasoline came rolling in from some EC a few minutes later.

Some PAX get 20-30 miles a week, this guy Vasoline is all about efficiency, getting his 20-30 over the weekend. 17+ yesterday and back at it this morning with 5 before the main event.

Warm Up: Asked PAX if they were ready to mosey and all were accounted for, so we proceeded out of the lot towards the base ball fields. At the intersection to head left or right around the fields, we circled up one last time for some Imperial Walkers X10, Hillbillies x10 and then headed right and all the way out to Grigsby. Proceeded right on to Grisby until we got back to the intersection of Stinson.

The Workout:

Hill #1

Stinson- PAX would proceeded down to Stinson all the way til they got to Lacombe St. and then would head back up to the top. I remember when this thing called Speed Racer was a ‘thing’ and we used to do this about 5-7 times. It was brutal. This morning we were only doing it once so as to get a feel for the other inclines for the weeks ahead. Great job of picking up the 6 and as we approached the top, PAX looked to YHC to see what was next.

Hill #2

Next hill would be Library Hill, of course. Proceeded down Grigsby to Rogers St. and crossed Main St. to get to the top of the traffic circle at Library Hill. Proceeded down to the pool lot at the bottom and then made our way back up. Great fellowship and mumblechatter through the run even though these hills weren’t helping YHC keep up with the conversations. At the top of the hill, I got another “What’s next?” That would be W.Elm. And with that, the first and only F-bomb of the morning by Oboe.

Hill #3

Proceeded back down Library Hill with a left on W. Elm. This hill is the worst, but it builds character. Again some strong work by the HIM out front picking up the 6 and tackled this segment together all the way out to Avent Ferry. Took a left and headed back out to the backside of Main St. to My Way Tavern before heading back up to cross Main Street. A quick look at the watch had us at about 6:55, which was perfect for a 7:00am parking lot arrival. As we made our way back to Stinson, Aquaman pointed out that there were no strange birds flying around today, referencing the fact that every time Aquaman posts at AGS, we always see random bird sightings like hawks picking up squirrels or relentless woodpeckers aimlessly attacking gutters. Not this this morning, however.

Solid work with PAX getting close to 4.5-5+miles.

Mary: Stretches OYO
Announcements: Mulch sign-ups. Q swap coming in August
T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX showing up this morning and sticking with the plan of segmented hills vs. a regular routed run. YHC tends to switch things up at AGS from time to time to keep the workouts from getting stale, so I always appreciate PAX willingness to try new things.  Nobody wants to run the same routes every time. Some other AO’s try to name their routes after a constellation or a Thanksgiving Day delicacy to make them sound unique and more appealing, even coupling their pre-blasts with toilet bowl humor. They may do that other places, but not AGS. We even hold 4mi bootcamps from time to time. Hopefully, one day U.T.I may want to lead it. I suppose I’ll have to ask him tomorrow at Paradise City before Banana Seat delivers the beating he has planned for tomorrow.

Additional T-Claps to the HIM on the 8.5 mi ruck this morning. Breach, LED, Sprinkler and the rest of the PAX who joined in support of rucking food pantry items for Mama’s House. Great community building, representing all 3 F’s!

Prayer: LED’s uncle. Crablegs. Those battling illness due to covid and other health-related issues. Aquaman took us out. A great morning, Men, and always appreciate the opportunity to lead.

6 Year Anniversary Gala at Cletus

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Wow – 6 years.  When I first gave into the 18 month long headlock by Gnard Dogg from Raleigh – I remember telling my M that “maybe this will be good – I can catch a Friday workout a few times a month to change up things for me at the Y (Sad Clown).  Little did I know that 6 years later, I would have accomplished the following:

  • Probably 1,000 posts
  • 7 half marathons completed
  • 2 Blue Ridge Relays
  • Maybe 3,000 miles of running
  • 10+ CSAUPs
  • 100+ Q-ed workouts
  • Hundreds of Clown Car rides
  • Stronger Marriage and relations with my kids
  • Major advances in my career / leadership (I accredit some of this to F3)
  • Countless memories with hundreds of new friends

WOW

Rolling into the parking lot at Cletus, Mookie and I got a little concerned.  On the way over in the clown car, we discussed what we would do if we had more than 25 Pax.  I did not want too many in our group(s) given Covid.  I quickly discussed what I had planned to Mookie as we drove over.  I remember him looking at me like “Are you crazy?”

As it became obvious that the Pax count would be near 40 – we decided to go with the Audible and split the pax.  I am very glad we did.  T-Claps to Mookie for the co-Q

FNGs:  None – Shovel flag planted at 5:29
Warm Up: Got things started with a mosie down to the field near the small pavillion.  The one we always warm up in when the crowds are big

  • Hand Release Burpees x 5 (OYO)
  • Good Morning x 10 (IC)
  • SSH x 20 (IC)
  • Moroccan Night Clubs x 20 (IC)  – note:  no one of Moroccan decent was offended with this reference
  • Mountain Climbers x 20 (IC)
  • Hell – it’s time to go

The Workout:

Pax of 38 was split into roughly half.  Mookie too one to the lower field and YHC kept the other half up top at the Soccer field.  It went down like this

Thing 1:  The Elle McPhereson

The Split pax on the soccer field would split again into two groups.  Groups would perform exercises on duct taped sheets in two (2) of the four corners (diagonal from each other).  Group 1 would sprint 50% around the track while Group 2 did the exercises.  Group 2 does AMRAP until all of Group 1 makes it to the opposite corner.  Group 1 would signal with a “yell” for Group 2 to stop the reps and run the same direction (clockwise around the field to them).  This was repeated for 20 minutes while the other Pax was down on the field.  Basically we were looping the 1/2 miles around the soccer field.

Group 1 (Arms and Chest)

  • Burpees
  • Wide Grip Merkins
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • Diamond Merkins

Group 2 (Legs and Abs)

  • Jump Squats
  • WW1
  • Star Jumps
  • Mountain Climbers

Thing 2:  “The Michigan”

This workout was from the original scrolls of Southwake.  It was named by a Ohio State fan.  “Because it sux”.  The pax gathered on the end line of the soccer/football field.  All we did was sprints and Jack Webbs.  It went like this

  • Ten – 100-yard dashes +  2 Hand Release Jack Webbs (2 hand release merkins and 8 halleluiahs) 
  • Eight – 80 yard dashes + 4 Hand Release Jack Webbs
  • Six – 60 yard dashes + 6 Hand Release Jack Webbs
  • Four – 40 yard dashes + 8 Hand Release Jack Webbs
  • Two – 20 yard dashes + 10 Hand Release Jack Webbs

That went on for 20 minutes – it was a smoker

The 2 groups converged on the North Tennis Courts for Mary and COT

Mary:

  • Low Slow Flutter
  • LBC Ladder (IC)
    • 5
    • 10
    • 15
    • 20
    • 10
    • 5
  • Have a nice day

Announcements:

  • Mulch
  • Q Swap in August

T-Claps (Recognition):

  • Gump for 5 years of F3!
  • YCH for 6 years
  • Kid Cracker for the Kotters – welcome back brother!

Prayer:

  • Unspoken
  • 1st responders
  • Brony’s friend with Cancer

YHC took us out in prayer

Burning Down Tatooine

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: No

EC: Pikachu, Skidmark, Cupid, Emeril, DawgPound, Gillette, YHC

  • We split up into 2 groups.  The first 3 gazelles took off fast.  The rest of us were happy with a moderate pace to grab 2-3 miles before the main event.

Commuters: Bernie, Aquaman, ShamWow, Vasoline, Lipstick

  • These guys came in from all directions this morning.  Hats off gents.  We missed many of you at COT.

Warm Up: High Knees, Butt Kickers, Carioca

The Workout:

If you frequent Slack and you happened to be online yesterday evening, you witnessed something pretty special.  You see, YHC was once the site co-Q of R4TJ – the best damn South Wake AO you can attend on a Wednesday morning, not to mention the very best running AO in our region (pre-emtively stop your crying other AOs – haters gonna hate).  Part of the responsibilities I had at R4TJ was to make sure that all of the other Wednesday “workouts” were kept in their place.  One particular “workout” wasn’t even sure if it was now or To Be Determined…  pffttt…..

YHC has been out of the game for a bit.  Call it a Covid pause.  But I’ve decided to get back in the mix with my boys and contribute to the Q-Sheet even if only for a few running AOs (see you at the #2 running workout in South Wake this Saturday BTW).  Since I was back at R4TJ, it was only right to light the warning fires to all those Undetermined Fakers.  Check out Slack…  It was awesome….  They got the message.

R4TJ Checklist

  • AO with style – check
  • class – not enough checks
  • cool names for routes – check
  • YHC – check
  • miles – we’ll check this one off after
  • BRR\marathon\life training – check
  • YHC – double check
  • still better than TBD – DETERMINED check
  • TP – check

The “New Hotness” was now in session.  An old favorite was tee’d up wth a special twist.  We would run the Little Dipper (because it looks like a 6) but today we would have mandatory pick-up-the-six.  Every turn on the route marked the need to turn and catch the 6.  It was a hot and muggy morning and many of the PAX had already put some miles in.  There was a little mublechatter questioning the direction for the route and the need for mandatory pick ups but YHC layed down the law and we were off.

There was a good togetherness this morning with the group.  Lots of pairing off and the pick-ups kept us pretty close together.  YHC held up the rear for too much of the run.  I suppose I can claim that was by design but in truth it wasnt.  DawgPound kept me moving with some words of encouragement, Emeril ran along side of me for most of the run and kept pushing me on.  These HIM are testements to F3 Goodness.

Through the run, many of the commuters returned to their homes wrapping up some considerably long runs.  Great work Men!

  • miles – CHECK

NOTE:  No planets were harmed in this running of The Little Dipper.  There was no sign of Vader.  There was a suspicious and small moon hanging in the sky… wait… that’s no moon!

Mary: Probably Playing Possum

YHC performed some common core math to count the PAX – 14 PAX!!! (pretty sure…)

Announcements:

  • Mulch project keeps on trucking  8 spots (2 hrs of your time) open for this weekend SIGN UP!!!

  • Some men are gearing up for the RDC Marathon in November – Check with Dawg, Emeril, and McNugget
  • Check out posts from Shredder, new 3rd F goodness is in the works

T-Claps (Recognition): The whole gang today for picking up the 6 (aka me).  Specific T-Claps to Dawg and Emeril for the motivation when I wanted to hit the brakes.

Prayer:  Clay’s family, Crableg’s (The FB told me it was his Birthday yesterday – cool pics from some National Park’s in recent posts – safe travels!), Our world – it’s hurting right no – love each other.

Plenty of Benjamins @ Paradise City

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

It was summer of 2019 and after U.T.I hit me with waves of EH’s I finally decided to come see what this F3 thing was all about. It was a hot, muggy July Monday morning at Paradise City as U.T.I and I pulled into the parking lot at around 5:25am. Soon I had a bunch of dudes calling me FNG and wasn’t sure how to take it. I felt a bit more comfortable when I learned that the “F” stood for “friendly”.

What else do I remember? This guy named Midget was running the workout and he seemed a nice enough guy. What ever happened to him, anyway? Legend has it he moved away. I thought I saw his picture on the back of a milk carton but it could have been someone else.

Fast forward 1 year (give or take a couple of days) and it was time to roll for my 1 year anniversary workout. I was humbled this morning to see some of the faces that have over the past year pushed me beyond those fitness limits we often impose on ourselves.

FNGs: Nada

EC: Pikachu, 187, Aquaman

Warm Up:

5 burpees OYO (I wanted to pack as much intensity as possible into morning so not much of a warm up……sorry not sorry)

The Workout:

Thing 1: All About The Benjamins

The goal was to get an upper body, leg and core workout while also putting some mileage on the wheels. We did the classic 4 corners and our mode of transport was via Indian Run.

Round 1 (Triceps/Shoulders, Chest) :

Corner #1 – Diamond merkins x 25, Corner #2 for dips x 25, Corner #3 for Ranger Merkins x25, Corner #4 for Derkins x25

Indian Run back to Corner #1 to start the Leg Workout

Corner #1 for jump squats x 25, Corner #2 for monkey humpers x25, Corner #3 for lunges X25, Corner #4 for Hillbilly squats X25

Indian run back to corner #1 to hit the abs

Corner #1 for Low Slow Flutter X25, Corner #2 for American Hammers x25, Corner #3 for WW2s X25, Corner #4 for LBC’s X25

Indian Run back to Corner #1

Thing #2: Quarter Pounder

Cones set up at 25 yards, 50 yards, 75 yards and 100 yards

Run to first cone (25 yards) – 25 merkins and run back to goal line

Run to 2nd cone (50 yards) and perform 50 LBC’s, then back to goal line

Run to 3rd cone (75 yards) and perform 75 mountain climbers then run back to goal line

Run to 4th cone (100 yards) and perform 100 SSH and then back to goal line

Thing #3: Railroad Trackers

Broke into 2 groups and laid railroad tracks up the hill between baseball field and soccer fields. Then mosey down the hill and over to Mary

Mary:

Mary: YHC thought it fitting to play “Thunderstuck” with the thunderstorms that had rolled through just prior to the workout. PAX could choose between holding plank or chillcut, but had to perform one merkin whenever the word “Thunder” was sung in the song.

Boxcutters X15

Homer to Marge X20

Have a Nice Day

Announcements:Mulch Spread continues – sign up for Saturday mulch spread at bass lake and also new AO tomorrow Captain Caveman (steel mace workout) at Holly Springs parking garage

T-Claps (Recognition): To those PAX that stepped in and led the rep count

Prayer: Jensen family, those struggling with mental health issues, first responders and military

All Business and a Pecker of Wood

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

Last weekend of Rune.. who is gonna show up to log that mileage this morning. As I made my way to Womble, I happened upon Vasoline getting some EC heading down Holly Springs Rd. As I made it to the lot, a white truck with “Greener Pastures” blazoned across the side was conveniently parked backwards into its space. Aquaman in the house this morning!

Planted the flag and was quickly greeted by H1N1 and Vasoline coming off his EC run, Aquaman came running back from his earlier run and now a Yogurt sighting. One more car rolled in and Maybeline made it a half dozen this morning.

Warm Up: Quick lap around the lot. Circled up for Imperial Walkers X10, Hillbillies X10, Fazio X10 F\B, Frankensteins X10 (IC), Prisoner Squats X10.

The Workout: 5 mi loop- Down and up Stinson, Right on Bass Lake, Left on Salem Ridge, Left on Linksland, Left on Bass Lake, Right on Earp, Left on Raleigh, Left on Grigsby and back to the flag at Womble. Quality business-like run throughout, multiple picking up of the six by Vasoline and Yogurt. At the beginning of the run, YHC knew with this crowd this morning he’d be the six, but with a first sub-9 AGS run of the year, I’ll take it. You guys push me more than you’ll ever know, especially up those damn hills. On the way back to the flag, we even spotted a wood pecker after hearing an awful sound against an aluminum gutter. Always seem to have these random bird sightings when Aquaman posts on Sunday. Last time he posted to AGS, we saw a hawk snatch a squirrel from the ground. Solid work all the way around by PAX in attendance this morning.

Mary: Stretches OYO
Announcements: Rune Mileage- almost done, July 4th Convergence, Mulch-sign up
T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX pushing a solid pace this morning and others getting extra mileage before and after the Main Event
