Introduction

How’s your running discipline? Let’s find out!

Warm-O-Rama

Easy mosey from the flag to the start of the lower loop.

The Thang

Everything was done on the lower loop of the “Eight” (approx. 6/10 mile) and was divided into 4 sections.

The first section (2/10 mile) to be run at “Base” speed – A comfortable working pace at 50% maximum speed.
The second section (2/10 mile) at “Burn” speed – A faster pace at 75% effort.
The third section (1/10 mile) at “Max” speed – Running as hard as you can (100% effort).
The fourth section (1/10 mile) at “Recover” speed – A brisk walking speed that allows for recovery; generally around 25% effort.

Circle of Trust

Generally upbeat circle of trust today. Shout out to Mr. Pink’s son on his birthday today!

Naked Man Moleskin

YHC’s thought about the BD today is that it often mirrors our daily lives. We sometimes forget that with all of the “running” we do from day to day, we also need to find time to “recover”. Without proper recovery time, we merely run ourselves into the ground.

Quote of the day: You may be in a tough time, but the enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows God has something great in store for you.
