Yes, maybe it was a bit cruel to spring a Murph on the Marsh crew on a Monday morning. I figured I’d get a, “Oh hell no,” from Cowbell. And a, “Yeah, that’s great, thanks Steve. After I’ve done 120 frickin’ ISI squats,” from Jose. And a lot of eye …
While searching for Fartlek’s in prep for the Scramble a few weeks ago, YHC discovered another type of interval that sounded like fun. It would also give us a baseline to track our progression over the year. Today we did the Marine Core Officers Candidate School Fartlek, which is done …
While the only water that would be had on this Monday at the Marsh would be experienced in perspiration. This was proven as well when Zoolander attempted to grab a swig from the water fountain to no avail. The city apparently feels the basketball court can open, but bring your …
The rain was everywhere and nowhere, and much to Steve’s chagrin, we were covered at the Marsh, soon to be soaked only by our own sweat. THANG No warm-o-rama, no mary – just TABATA! Many thanks to Waterpik for the speaker which allowed us all to hear the random background …
After missing 2 Q’s last week (1 was excused), YHC was up to Q again and HAD to make it, tropical storm or not… Surprisingly, the rain had stopped after a full 24 hour downpour. There was no excuse now! YHC showed up 2 minutes late due to a downed …
Still smarting from the Downpainment put forth on the Lakefront by Akbar on Saturday, YHC was looking for a reprieve from upper extremity soreness to start the week. So, with that in mind, LEGS were the order of the day. Mosey to Lakefront stopping at each intersection for: Jump squats, …
Though we had a smaller PAX than expected, the number and quality of men who showed were perfect for the beatdown that YHC had thrown together. Warm-up: Imperial Walkers, Toe touches, Windmills, Arm circles, High knees, Butt kicks. Then, we moseyed to the stop sign and back to wake up …
After a brief warm up, mosey down to Lakefront for 10 sprints along Lakeshore Dr. of about 75 yards. Then, legs fully weakened, crank out 2 longer sprints of about 1-2 blocks. Mosey back to Marsh for some pull ups, Bulgarian Split Squats (Steve’s favorite), Merkins, finishing up with some …
And so it came to be that 50% of today’s PAX found themselves running to the Marsh in the gloom. After all, it’s February. And, while most anywhere else that statement may require a bit more explanation to cover the nuance, round these parts…’nuff said. THANG So after gathering at …
With intentions of some strength training, followed by some Restorative Chewy actions. YHC had to call an audible like Mahommes and the Chiefs did in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.. Thankfully the Wacker was there with the Dice of Doom!! warmup All IC 10. Good mornings, Windmills, Arm …
