Hill Sprints and Laurel Hill Repeats

March 27, 2018

WHEN: 03/27/2018
QIC: Shake It
PAX: Draper, Juco, Champ, Walt, Tigger, Catheter, Kevin, Stop Drop and Roll, Shake It

YHC asked everyone to make sure they wore lights or reflective gear.  We were taking the show on the road this week. This morning’s goal was to train for the Tar Heel 10 Miler which is now less than 4 weeks away. 9 strong PAX got out of the fartsack this morning including Walt.  That’s right, Walt made his virgin post at the Goat. A noted absence was Wuerffel, who apparently is boycotting the Goat everytime YHC Q’s.

 

Warm-Up

  • Downward Dog
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Spider Lunges
  • Butt Kickers
  • High Knees
  • Frankensteins

 

The Thang

YHC lead the PAX out of the parking deck heading south towards the Dean Dome.  We stopped at the foot of Kenan Center Drive and ran 4 hill sprints up to the Kenan-Flagler Business School.  This would be a horrible backblast if YHC didn’t mention that Tigger and Catheter are absolute animals, and completely crushed the PAX.  We could have done this all morning, but there was still another beast to conquer.

 

Ran down Skipper Bowles, right on Manning, and then a left on 15-501.  YHC lead the crew to the foot of Laurel Hill. Run up Laurel Hill at your own pace, and then circle back to pick up the six.  Still plenty of time on the clock as anticipated, so we made our way back down Laurel Hill. One more trip up Laurel Hill. Worth noting that YHC had to take a pitstop in the woods midway through the second trip.

 

We gathered together at the top of the hill, and made our way back to the parking deck as a group.  Approximately 5.5 miles covered today.
