Read moreWe’re Only Starting On The Hills
Somehow, someway, even though I announced at Run n Gun the day before AND made it known in the Slack preblast that my Q would involve a good amount of hills, 10 PAX + me (or 10 more PAX than I thought) showed up on a chilly Valentine’s morning. I...

Read moreJersey is lovely this time of year at Redline
Redline is a great place to push yourself, hang out with #fastholes (at least at start and finish), and be encouraged by them. There is no shelter to hide at this AO when weather turns damp, and while running will always be stupid, it does fully...
Read moreThat Was A Great Route…Except It Sucked
“That was a great route…except it sucked.” Those were the wise words of Balco as he left the parking lot this morning. An OG route that I had spent a lot of time on to meticulously make EXACTLY 6.2 miles ended up being for naught since some...
Read moreRedlining and emotional breakthroughs
Back to back running Q’s for YHC is not very typical. And when Closer asked YHC to Q RnG yesterday, YHC forgot to look at his calendar for what was coming today. Oh well. A plan was created that would increase lactic acid threshold and...

10 Pax ventured to the West End neighborhood to improve their speed at the historic Hanes Park (c.1919) track. Actually, for YHC it was less about speed improvement and more about seeing the other guys in the gloom as well as having healthy...

15 strong including FNG Squeegee who finally got off the toilet long enough to join Doublewide for a run. Great job by all on a very humid morning with no wind. Special prayers for Undertow overcoming Covid and MRSA.

Read moreClassic Redline
Six pax enjoyed a classic redline at the beautiful and muggy Hanes Park logging slightly more than 4 miles. Warm-o-rama. Obligatory clockwise lap around Hanes Park to see how the legs will be feeling for the morning cruise around the track...
Read moreEmotional Redline
Trying to change things up, the Q decided have the pax reach a different #Redline today. We often hit our cardio redline (YHC more than others), but what really is needed is to push our emotional redline to make us stronger. Even in the face of...
