Go Pre

Workout inspired by legendary former Oregon runner Pre Fontaine. There’s a quote widely associated with him (though recently learned there’s no record of him actually saying it) that goes “The only good pace is  a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die”Utilized the new turf today with a suicide sprint workout. Sprinted down and back to roughly 20 yards, 40 yards, 60 yards and 80 yards. Then climbed to 60 with 10 merchants, 20 Big Bois, 30 second plank, 40 squats, 50 American Hammers, and 60 crunches.

Rinsed and repeated this process 3 or 4 times. Ended with 60 second plank, full 80 yard sprint down and 80 yard sprint back.

The essence of Pre Fontaine and what he was known for, and that the message above suggests, is coming out of the gate sprinting in his races and giving it his all, all race, all practice, all the time. Message today is the same, give maximum effort.
