Blues Clues answer: Pheidippides

He was a Greek soldier, and messenger known for running from the Battle of Marathon to Athens announcing the Greek victory…a distance of ~25 miles.

warm-up – modern marathons are 26.2 miles

arm circles 26ic

circle arms 26ic

imperial walkers 26ic

SSH 26ic

The thang – part 1: the distance from Athens to Sparta is ~150 miles…the first marathon was ~25 miles.

block merkins 25ic x3 = 150 total reps

curl and press 25ic x3 = 150 total reps

block squats 25ic x3 = 150 total reps

Part 2: Pheidippides encounters Pan on the way back. Says he’ll create PANic and PANdemonium if they follow his plan. Jump out from behind the rocks and trees, sprint toward the Persians.

Part 3: after defeating 1/2 of the Persian army the Greeks sent word that they won but that the other half of the Persian army was headed toward Athens. Pheidippides ran the 25 miles from Marathon to Athens to announce victory and give the warning.
