Iron Mike 2025

Iron Mike

Third champions club of the summer! The rain came last night so it was a muddy and wet run for us this morning! We also got to see a deer, fawn and SKUNK while running this time! Great day to be a champion! What a great workout to end the first month of summer on! For those who don't know who Iron Mike is, his real name was Mike Webster. A Rhinelander alumni, who is without a doubt one of the best centers in NFL history! More on Mike HERE.

This workout like MURPH is a staple of the Champions Club summers and was done for many years prior!

Iron Mike

Teams of 4:

For time:

3k Run

Carrying a 45/25lb plate

Each teammate MUST carry the plate 600M SOLO. NO TEAM CARRYING.

No need for a quote this workout. We do this in honor of Mike Webster. He used to do a 5k ALL ALONE with a 45lb plate. Thinking about that is plenty to stay motivated! With the first month of summer down we are going to find out WHO wants to keep putting the work in and who will burn out! Time to double down and dig deep! Champions keep going when things get tough.

It was a great day, I got all three pictures and we had some great teams and alumni come out to take on this challenge once again!
