Six met ITG for a Kodak-led elevation training. One thing YHC loves is trail runs and the hillier, the better. Problem is – hard to train for elevation in these great-plains states.

Conditions – 74 degrees, 95% humidity

Warm-O-Rama

• SSH (IC)
• Mountain Man Poopers
• Mtn Climbers
• Breakdancers
• Thoracic Stretch
• Fellowship run in the neighborhood to set the 800m course.

 

The Thang : 800m / Lunge walk Partner Work

• Partner 1 runs the course while P2 begins to lunge walk
• Flip/Flop when P1 catches up to P2’s progress.
• Group completed 5 total laps; one group completed additional lunges, other group completed an extra lap
• Mosey back to AO

Don’t let the fear of failing keep you from trying something hard. You’ll either succeed in a new accomplishment or learn something valuable in the process. (Failure is the best education)
I recently saw a “Hard-Rock 100” finisher’s post where he rolled into town 2 minutes before the 50 hour cut-off. In his post, he dwelled on the fact that he was DFL and wanted to try a diff strategy next time. What struck me was how the running community wrapped around him with encouragement – “A DFL is so much better than a DNS!”
