A little bit of OYO and a little bit of the ol’ runners stretch, preacher, and pigeon. A version of the disclaimer was stated a couple times because what we were about to endure was gonna be sucky. Even the preblast was a little foreboding. But then again we were listening to the soothing sounds of Scott Stapp while warming up. To lull us into the gel we were about to experience.
Tha Thang:
The Impossible Mile Challenge aka the World’s Toughest Mile. This challenge was the brainchild of entrepreneur and hybrid endurance athlete Eric Hinman, inspired by HYROX-style training. It is designed to test your endurance, strength, and mental toughness. It involves completing a mile divided into four segments, each with a different challenging exercise:
1) Burpee Broad Jump
2) Walking Lunge
3) Bear Crawl
4) Run
Completing one lap around the city hall building is about 400 meters or around 0.27 miles. Shake It was our leader and able to get to the bear crawl round! The rest of the PAX were still lunge walking when time was called.
COT:
Besides being a great full-body workout that boosts endurance and strength, this challenge helps build mental resilience and confidence pushing you past your comfort zone. We all agreed there were times during the workout where we wanted to quit. But continued pushing and holding each other accountable to form and effort.
Someone mentioned a future workout where we did a re-start from where we ended to finish up the remaining rounds. Maybe, just maybe
Glad to have a visit from Mr. Dickey aka Sweet-N-Low. You’re always welcome to join us at the Underground and we will save you a month on our soon to be printed Underground calendar fund raiser.
Pledge, Pray, and on our Way!
