JRR Tolkien was kind enough to drive 200 miles from Mongol land and share 4 SpeedForNeed; yes I said 4 racing chairs, with the Gashouse Pax. YHC will try to recount and remember as much as possible….disclaimer…YHC does not write epic BB like Tolkien so this will be short and sweet! Here it goes
Warm-up:
Disclaimer given
Grab the chairs and mosey to the parking deck then circle up
SSH – 10,000 IC
Imperial walkers – 20,000 IC
Merkins- 100,000 Fighting Mongol style
Then some crazy resistance band Hello Dollies, Rosalita’s and flutters….. 400,000 in total (YHC anniversary is now ruined)
The Thang:
Start off sprinting up and down the parking deck with the 4 chairs Pax switching out on chairs we did this about 100 times….the Fighting Mongol is brutal!!!
After we ran that 400 miles we circled up for some Mongol Merkin action!
Reg – 400IC
Wide- 600 IC
Diamond- 800 IC
Staggered right and left – 1,000 IC
Next we ran flat sprints with chairs and Pax riding ….we did about 400 sprints and then did Burpees after each race , YHC believes it totaled about 700 Burpees!
As if this wasn’t enough we ran laps with chairs … 1Pax riding ….switch out …next Pax push….eveone did this about 10,000 times!!! ….while you were chair less the Fighting Mongol himself lead a series of awful exercises…some with that crazy band thing! (YHC suffered oxygen deprivation at this point…blacked out and has no idea what we actually did)….
Next mosey back to the Centennial Pavilion where we circled up for some Mary
Resistance band
Hello Dollies – both then right then left – 10,000 IC
Rosalita’s – both then right then left – 10,000 IC
Flutters- 10,000 IC
Moleskin
Thank you to our Brother JRR Tolkien for making the second trip out across the river to sare a SpeedForNeed themed workout. And thank you to him for sharing his vision and allowing us the opportunity to be the difference on November 25th at the https://www.mcadenville-christmastown.com/ct5-K.htm ! YHC has only had the pleasure of know him for a short time however it’s easy to tell that his heart is ON FIRE for the ones that cannot run these races themselves! Truly an honor for the Gashouse PAX to be a part of this. We don’t need to be “experts” we just need to care enough to take action and fill the need men! JRR Tolkien is showing us exactly how this is done and YHC thanks him for this!
