This is why we do this

Running workouts don’t need much of a backblast, and BBBC is probably the easiest Q out there. But this week at Big Boys Breakfast Club just hit different. So, this is really all moleskin but I wanted to document: Nothing special, really...

Return to The Estate…but why?

Redline will push you to your running limits and add some pep to your next run. Flatline will keep you moving for a solid 45 minutes and leave the best pax gassed. Parliment will give your core, arms, and legs all they need without running...

Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, “the Whale,” they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

From 1979 to 1997, the Hartford Whalers sported the arguably best logo of all time in the NHL. Sadly (to some and to the great elation of others), the Whale moved to NC and became YHCs beloved Carolina Hurricanes. The logo and identity lay...

Would Stone Cold Listen To Jason Isbell?

YHC arrived at the AO to find 4 other runners waiting. They preferred the term “people who were about to run”. Now, let’s chase Ultra Bam and Starfish down Polo and look for Green Acres. We got back to more cars and pax, more...

Lines and Circles

Driving home from the mountains yesterday, the plan for Monday’s tIT workout came to YHC in a phrase: simple, like lines and circles. So it looked like this: Warm-O-Rama with the old favorites. On to the lines and circles: Line: Dora on the...

A Peaceful Transition Of Power And No Open Flames

It was Shrove Tuesday/Fat Tuesday at the premier Tuesday No-Running Workout. After a Mash Mile pre-run with The Schneid and The Duck, we heard the mission and the core principles and warmed up then…the thang. One pax at the “griddle.” Rest...

Ten years or 20 years will come and go, whether you do anything or not, whether you innovate or not, and whether you improve or not, so why not get going on it right now?

Your boy Wobegon recently finished reading “Guitar Lessons” by Bob Taylor, founder and luthier for, you guessed it, Taylor Guitars. Founded in ’74, Taylor makes, in YHCs opinion, possibly the best acoustic guitars on the...

The Night Santa Went Crazy

The Q came in hot with under two minutes to spare. All good. Let’s go: Warm-O-Rama at what Pony Express described as “150X speed”. To be fair, the Q got up at 5:55 to drink coffee for 45 minutes before the workout. Mosey to...

So Random

Simple and basic on a cold morning. We could hear the site Q snoring happily in his bed across the street. It went like this: Standard Warm-O-Rama The Thang was Random Tabata. 10 Choices are possible: 30 seconds on, 15 off, hit the Random Number...

10-20-30, 10-20-30, 10-20-30, 10-20-30….

A near-perfect 55 degree morning greeted six strong pax, many of them having just suffered what sounds like a world-class beatdown yesterday at Parlament. It went like this: Warm-O-Rama with all the favorites. Mosey up the Hill To Nowhere. At...

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

Long Run Sunday? 2,000+ steps Saturday? Monday was looking like a great day for a morning at home with coffee and a book. Nope. And you know what? It was a good call, got the legs loose and sweated out every ounce of fluid in my body before 7am...

Best. AO. Ever.

Lets’s get this out of the way: YHC LOVES Reynolda Village/former Estate AO. Loves it. Sure, some of that is the easy RIRO, but let’s be real? Can we be real? It’s arguably the best AO we’ve had. And particularly suited to...
