In the last US Olympic Marathon Trials (2016) there were 108 finishers. Only 3 men ran negative splits. All three finished on the podium. The Thing: Run along Bayou St. John for 20 minutes, turn around and return in less than 20 minutes. AKA a Negative Split. Then plank and …
34 #HIM gathered on a muggy February morning to accelerate and get better. The turnout brought the feel of a mini-convergence and great fellowship. After the disclaimers were outlined, and a handful of the PAX moseyed off for a 4-5ish mile run, the remaining 20 something PAX moseyed to the …
With Run Ranger Run in full swing, I thought it would be good to get a few miles in during the beatdown on Thursday morning at Okwata. So without further ado, at 5:30am I issued the disclaimer & we mosey’d to the intersection of Canal Blvd / Lakeshore Drive for …
Run Ranger Run crunch time ensured that we had a healthy number of Stompers on Tuesday. In order to maximize our time, we ran the traditional route down the bayou, 22:30 out, then turned around and came back. The only rule was that you must have a negative split. We …
1st Shot at Qing the newest AO – I showed up early to drop off the “tire” and set up the cynderblock playground then ran to the fountain to get things kicked off. Disclaimer – mousy to the “long way” to the playground – with the muscle flag stand, exactly …

We were fortunate it started to rain harder as 16 men gathered around the SF and one, Abacus, was running the track. (I’m missing one name. Let me know who and I’ll update this BB) DISCLAIMER and let’s mosey. There was a lot of disappointment we weren’t doing Spartacus, but the pax …
With my knee giving me some issues this week and on the schedule to Q the mother ship I had to make an audible and Hawg was happy to swap AO’s for the opportunity to throw down a run heavy beatdown on the Mothership to rival Rudy’s beatdown the prior …
The Uptowner was greeted with 14 fiends this week itching to get their Friday fix. Although YHC had been voluntold to Q weeks ago, he slacked on working up a fancy workout with a cool theme, laminated weinkie, or pre-arranged cones. Therefore, back to basics for the PAX with 45 …
The title is a quote from Left Eye, and you can understand where he is coming from. Uptowners stay in one place. That’s what you expect. So what’s happened the last three weeks at The Uptowner? Three weeks ago – A Murph, by definition it includes 2 miles of running …
