COT: PERSEVERANCE is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It’s the ability to keep pushing forward, maintain consistent effort, and stay committed to a goal when facing obstacles or setbacks.

In essence, it’s about not giving up when things get tough. It’s often seen as a key trait for achieving long-term success and personal growth.

[juco-rush] 9-8-7-6 Fartlek

AO: juco-rush
Q: Full Tank
PAX: Wanderer, Butterknife, Erector, Double Coat, Trash Panda (JUCO)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
WARMUP: run to the track

THE THANG:

repeats of
3x 200m (each 1m/m faster), recover 400m
Goal is to try to hit and hold the set paces to help recognize what each pace feels like.

Example: 9-8-7-6
1st 200m 8min/mile
2nd 200m 7min/mile
3rd 200m 6min/mile
Recovery at 9 min/mile

6-8 reps should be around 30 minutes then back to the AO

I attached my pace vs time and it should look like little steps but I had trouble with going slow enough during the recovery and first 200 and paid for it on the last.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:

Pretty simple: If you want to be faster, run with faster with faster men. This gets to the heart of F3, we should be pushing each other to be better (and faster) men by leveraging the gifts of those around us. I think I heard this from frosty about 4 years ago at dog pound after an iron pack workout and it really stuck with me.

COT:
Matthew 5:41
And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

There is an episode of “The Chosen” season 4 I think where the Jesus character instructs his followers to carry the Roman soldier’s gear all the way to the city gates. This causes them to end up walking an additional 4 miles because they had to go back and get their own gear.
I found this on the Bible app:
“Jesus does not tell his followers to shrink and wither, even to the slap or the lawsuit or the abuse of authority. He tells them to demonstrate strength by freely giving away more than an enemy can take. This is a demonstration of power in the guise of submission. This kind of response makes it possible for God to demonstrate his goodness even in the face of those with the most evil intent.
