5 fartlekers gathered for the weekly 610 Stomp. Not only was Amnesty back from Hawaii and recovered from his hula accident, but he also orchestrated a subtle, yet successful EH on Splash, motivating Splash to make his way to the Roosevelt Mall this morning. T-claps to the both of ya. YHC gave a subtle disclaimer and it was time for…
The Thang
4.5 mile run with Fartleks to the the Jose Marti statue at Jeff Davis and Banks and then back along the other side of the bayou. The Pax stayed together for this one. We jogged at a conversational pace. YHC would yell out random percentages to step up our pace to (e.g. 65%, 80% 100%, etc.). We would run for a random length at that amount of effort. We finished with a couple of minutes left to seal the deal: 8 burpees, 1 super slow merkin, 3 burpees, 1 super slow squat with a hold at the bottom, and finished with 2 burpees (although YHC lost count and did 3).
Moleskin
I’m a fan of the fartleks. I am feeling this workout. Looking forward to doing it again the next time I Q the stomp. Not sure how I lost count going to 2. Even I can usually count that far without issue. I’m blaming the fartleks.
