October 27, 2019 — The Forge , Nolensville, TN
Gauntlet Schmauntlet.
Gautlet is on the horizon and dang I’ve noticed my endurance dropping since getting busy with other things and letting my guard down –missing some workouts and a whole lotta running. Soooo, let remedy some of that and get ready for Gauntlet at the same time.
PAX in attendance: 3rd deg, (Q) Little Miss Piggy, Huggie, Typo +, Stats, Glen Gary, Sparta, Numbtucks, Tebow, Staples, Kermit (11 PAX)
Conditions — started off with a few drops of rain but quit…a teeny bit wet but great temps
Gauntlet requires some endurance, and longer distances running than some of the group may be accustomed to, so we’ll start this off right…
Thang 1: 2 mile run
Kermit wanted to swing by the front of the school entrance where they were prepping for the Nolensville 10 miler, cause he wanted to creep on some man that he likes up there, but lucky for that guy he wasn’t there when we went by. Mumble chatter started off nicely, though, on the run, as we headed back to the football field where the second mile was completed on the track. This allowed us to incorporate an interval-esque type training, where PAX where intstructed to push their speed on the straights and then recover a little slower on the curves. The first PAX finished were to go back to those who were trailing and help get them to the finish line.
Mini-Thang 2: Tractor Tires
3 tires, 3 groups — flip them from goal line to the 50 yd line, taking turns but quickly
Thang 3: Four Corners
Four groups go to four corners of the football field. Each group selected an exercise for that corner location– we had burpees, WWI, starfish, and iron mikes. Do 20 reps and then mosey to the next corner. However, the MOT is via bleachers on both of the sides of the field (run up and down at each aisle), and to get from one side of the field to the other, PAX did bear crawl and crawl bear on the first lap, then crab walk and bounding for the second lap.
2 laps around
Mini-Thang 4: Tractor Tires
We gotta put em back where we found em. 3 groups again and flip them all the way back
Mosey: back to the center of the field and circle up!
