Farting, I mean Fartleks @ SpeedTrap

The Pax:

Glazer, Interference, Patch, Winklevoss, The Vig, Whirly (WD), Beverly, Zuckerberg (WB / QIC)

8 pax had the need for speed this morning and gradually put the pedal-to-the-metal (fartlek style)… making only left turns around Kentner track.  Except for @TheVig and @Winklevoss – who ran the opposite direction on their last sprint and therefore made a “right turn” (#rebels).   It all went down like this…

That Thang:

• Warmup run from #TheEstate to Kentner Stadium (~1mi) @ ~9:00+ min/mi pace
• Fartleks around the track…
  • 5 minutes @ half-marathon pace
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 4 minutes @ 10-mile pace
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 3 minutes @ 10K pace
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 2 minutes @ 5K pace
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 1 minute ‘sprint’
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 2 minutes @ 5K pace
  • 1 minute recovery mosey
  • 1 minute ‘sprint’
• Cooldown mile back from Kentner to #The Estate AO.

• 25 merkins OYO

• FIN!

[Total mileage for many ~5.6 miles]

COT

YHC took the pax out – asking for His wisdom to guide us to be the men He wants us to be (not who we think we should be) – and to shine His light on others.

• A few pax clearly thought you’re supposed to fart during #fartleks.
