Rabbit v Wolf

Yesterday's "Lunch Crunch Bunch" rand 5x400 meters with a twist to make it a bit more "exciting" I gave one of the athletes a head start and told him to stay in front of the pack at all cost. After letting him go, I told the rest of the team "to go fetch him" for if they didn't they would be running another 400 meters It played out perfectly. My "rabbit" was my own son. He's vertically challenged and hasn't reached puberty yet. The other fellas were college and seniors in high school. Knowing my son, he HATES that pressure of having to that kind of stuff. THATS why I played him. In the gym or on the field the fastest way to become strong or fit is to be the WEAKEST person in the STRONGEST group. After getting caught, I could see the frustration in Hunter's face. The last one he kicked it up a gear and whooped ass. All the fellas were in the shade, huffing and puffing and some even wheezing. I then broke into the story of the Rabbit and the Wolf. An old and young wolf were out walking in the woods. Out of no where they spotted a Rabbit. The old wolf told the young one..."Go Fetch it!" The young wolf gave chase. Over rocks, under brush, out into the open field, back into the woods the rabbit darted and juked his way to freedom. The tired young wolf came back to the old one and asked, "Why couldn't I catch that rabbit?" The old wolf explained... "You see son, you were chasing after a meal and that rabbit was running for his life"! I looked at my 12 year old and told him that his performance was AWEfuckingSOME! He ran for his life and got the most out of today's training. No matter what it is...Don't chase after a meal, but run as if your life depended on it!   Tier I Chest Supported Row: 4x10x165 Pull Ups: 5x35 Chin Ups: 5x35   These are band aided   Cleans/Press: 5x20   Tier II Clean/Press: 4x10 DB LR: 4x10 Pull Ups: 4x25 Chin Ups 4x25 AirDyne or Row: 12 mins Bike Commute: 18 mins
